Working on a frontend dice roller that utilizes the open source dice SVG files and rolling utility.
We could also stand to fill a slot in our online play group if you want to reach out! :)
I think this can be really useful as it allows you to maintain separate QCOW2 files for each investigation, since they can be generated in just a few seconds.
Using a Nix Flake also provides an easy way to add or remove tools, offering extensive customization based on your needs.
The backstory is that AI investments are proceeding, but companies seem to be struggling to get things into production, so the ROIs are beginning to slip. Where I have first party knowledge, there is a (small sample size) trend of businesses kicking off significant data modernization processes.
Most interesting to me, is that organizations finally seem to be figuring out that it is worth managing "information" for the business and "data" in their applications as separate work streams, and seem to be acting on separating those responsibilities.
Doing it completely solo — built the product, run the ads, do the outreach, everything. Struggling with sales now. Thinking of narrowing focus and solving a more specific pain point.
Curious if anyone else here is grinding through early-stage B2B SaaS — would love to hear how you're tackling this.
Also, I just started on building a web application with golang that will make it easier for hobbyists to share their creative works (like manga, paintings, etc.) by providing a much better platform for their creativity to show. Right now it's pretty bare bones but it'll be a cross between myspace and patreon essentially. Main difference being the ease of use and the ability to showcase your work directly on the same app, without having to host your works on a separate service and promote it on another.
Lots of ideas, so little time to implement them.

I was inspired by the article over at evilmartians[0] about OKLCH, and I loved their oklch picker. Decided I wanted to learn more about OKLCH by implementing my own tool that I've released this week. Had a lot of fun with this project, and am getting plenty of usage out of it already.

Ive written a simple app [1] that crawls tech corporate sites daily looking for job postings, and sends you an email with the new jobs that match your profile.
The profile matching is currently very basic - just job title category and location(s). There is also a recommendation agent that is yet to be released (WIP).
I would be grateful for feedback and thoughts. So far I have personally (and others) found this to be very helpful in allowing me automate the daily checking of hundreds of sites.
You can also add specific companies to the crawler, which is nice if you are passively looking at specific companies. A possible feature addition might be to limit the search to only pre-defined companies that interest you.
I would appreciate any thoughts and feedback.
