Building a game similar to Zombies! Run but with slightly modified gameplay. Narrative heavy with point and click elements, quests, and choose your own adventure decision making elements.

I've been hacking on a similar idea since about 2016 but only recently picked it back up. I want to support walking and cycling - any activity as long as it's outdoors (no treadmills).

I have a few ideas about the narrative that I think should be fun and timely.

Why no treadmills?

Inspired by the Dobble card game, a friend and I built an iOS version where the symbols are emojis! You can customize the difficulty with options like “only green emojis” or other themed sets.

We don’t want to put ads in the game, but we’re exploring ways to add non-free features to make a little money from it. Has anyone done something similar? Any insights or past experiences with monetizing a casual mobile game would be really helpful!

Open source presenter software. If you ever need to show something on screen, this will handle it for you. Useful for any events like concert, conference, camps, etc. You can also use it for things like digital signage.

Still a lot of features to be added, but it's already useful for simple use-cases.

The main side project I'm working on now probably won't apply too much to this audience but it's a weekly urbanism news roundup. The idea is to get global examples to inspire local change. Also, after leaving school I still wanted to keep in touch with what's happening around the world and continue learning.

Oh, also I'm thinking making a little tool so when craiglist emails you for a saved search it deduplicates it before forwarding it to a chat app. My parents would find it very helpful as they still use craigslist a lot but the duplicate notifications for listings really annoys them.

We just did a Show HN last week [1], but we're building dédédé (https://dedede.de/en), a place to share the "good, bad, and why"s of urban spaces. Please check it out if you hadn't already!

I'm working on spat https://github.com/Florents-Tselai/spat a Postgres extension.

spat is a Redis-like in-memory data structure server embedded in Postgres. Data is stored in Postgres shared memory. The data model is key-value. Keys are strings, but values can be strings, lists, sets, or hashes.

It's still alpha, but it works.

I am trying out a few new passive greenhouse concepts as well as experimenting with materials. Similarly, crossing some different brassica for hybrids.

We are putting together an automated compliance solution for environmental sustainability. Think of us as Delve.co or Vanta for heavy industries. Currently working on a new landing page. The goal is to make it easy to stay compliant when regulations get updated and maintain a positive compliance posture down to the asset level.
