My friends and I have been hacking on http://dateit.com for a while. It's an event planning app (works best on iOS and android, but there is a web app) with lots of fun features:

  - Calendar sync
  - Photo upload
  - post/comment/reactions
  - Recurring events
  - SMS notifications
  - Greeting card maker
  (and a lot more)
We started working on this all the way back during the Covid lockdown when we wanted to capture that "facebook events" experience without the facebook.

It's grown into something much more than our original idea. Most of the features are free and we have a fair pricing model that doesn't nickel-and-dime you like many of the competing apps do. Would love your feedback!

https://cafe.io It is a DNS service for AWS EC2 to keep the ever changing IPs when you cannot use the Elastic IP like ASG or when you don't want to install any third party clients to your instances.

It fetches the IPs regularly via AWS API and assign them to fixed subdomains.

It is pretty new :) still developing actively.

Creativity and game development clubs for kids:

https://breaka.club/blog/why-were-building-clubs-for-kids

Basically, I'm building tooling and providing these to community run clubs that help turn kids from consumers into creators. I'm focusing on game development initially, but have plans to expand into other areas of creativity.

We're using Godot + GodotJS (which I'm a maintainer of): https://breaka.club/blog/godots-most-powerful-scripting-lang...

I've much experience building software for creators. I'm a (core) developer of Tabletop Simulator. I worked at a now defunct startup which allowed people to create and distribute their own interactive fiction stories using partner third-party IPs.

I have a background in EdTech. I used to be Head of Engineering at Ender, where we ran custom Minecraft servers for kids: https://joinender.com/ and prior to that I was Head of Engineering at Prequel / Beta Camp, where we ran courses that helped teenagers learn about entrepreneurship: https://www.beta.camp/. During peak COVID I also ran a social emotion development book subscription service with my wife, a primary school teacher.

I finally relaunched my product Onset, a release note management platform.

https://www.onset.io

It took me a year to rebuild it from ground up but finally finished it.

A structural biology viewer/editor/CAD-style application. Combines functionality similar to PyMol, Coot, VMD, and GROMACs. Open-source, standalone executable. Built in Rust and CUDA.

And the host of bio libs required to do it. The sort of thing that are mature in Python, for example, but I needed to build for Rust.

https://aykev.dev/webgpu-waveform/

https://github.com/mrkev/webgpu-waveform

Made some updates to this open-source library I wrote to render audio waveforms using the GPU on the browser (WebGPU).

Example on the site. Works without enabling flags on Chromium browsers. There's an example to scrub and zoom in real time on some audio. Feedback welcome!

I’m working on an AI-assisted reminders app using on device models for iOS.

Things like, “get xyz a birthday gift”, and it finds the contact and sets the reminder for a few weeks before the birthday.

The source data is calendar and contact info, but the nice thing about local models is that no data gets sent to providers, and the app can be cheap

Working on a free alternative to Masterclass - compiled from YouTube clips!

Currently have two binge-able mini courses on How to Start a Startup (could be relevant to folks in here)

Here it is: https://opencademy.com/

Building https://github.com/openrundev/openrun, a platform for declarative deployment of web apps.

OpenRun runs as a web server, which does GitOps driven app deployments. You can currently deploy apps on a standalone machine, on top of Docker/Podman. Working on adding support for deploying on top of Kubernetes. On Kubernetes, OpenRun will replace your build jobs (Jenkins/Actions etc), CD (ArgoCD etc) and IDP (Backstage etc). The same declarative config which works on a standalone machine will work on Kubernetes, with no YAML to maintain.
