https://finbodhi.com — It's an app for your financial journey. It helps you track, understand, benchmark and plan your finances - with double-entry accounting. You own your financial data. It’s local-first, syncs across devices, and everything’s encrypted in transit (we do have your email for subscription tracking and analytics). Supports multiple-accounts (track as a family or even as an advisor), multi-currency, a custom sheet/calculator to operate on your accounts (calculate taxes etc) and much more. Supports price for most Indian investment vehicles and US stocks.

Most recently, we added support for comparing funds with leading/trailing/rolling charts and benchmarking (create custom dashboards tracking nav and value chart of subsets of your portfolio) and US stocks, etfs etc. And family dashboard (e.g. you can see networth, cashflows, income, use sheets at family level and more). See https://finbodhi.com/changelog for details.

We also write about related topics:

E.g. Benchmarking your returns: https://finbodhi.com/docs/blog/benchmark-scenarios Or, understanding double entry account: https://finbodhi.com/docs/understanding-double-entry

refactoring memory management in https://github.com/ryanczak/daemoneye to better support continuous operation over long time horizons where state of monitored services/things drifts and knowledge becomes stale over time.

Stream on-demand files between your devices. WAN, LAN, Direct IPV6, cross platform, pqc.

Looks promising! I will try it out.

Let me know how it goes, or frustrations. I admit that currently it is not the most friendly UX. And found out a bug that if no direct P2P possible, it fails to fallback to the STUN-ish data relay. However LAN mode and WAN via direct P2P works on latest releases.

As soon as I merge this one, will create another release that fixes the fallback; and hopefully also get the apps in ios and gplay stores. https://github.com/KeibiSoft/KeibiDrop/pull/143

SogaPaper - https://sogapaper.ai/

People are consuming more and more text content than ever before to get more information, under the pressure of AI development. For me, I need to read papers, go through information related to my industry and company, sometimes my boss asks me to conduct a research on some newly launched products or techniques revealed by passages.

It's really a heavy load to consume all these information fast and deep, so I built SogaPaper: https://sogapaper.ai It can translate, summarize, q&a not only at the whole document level, but support paragraph-level quick glances and q&a, preserving the important inner logic and structure of the whole passage, very suitable for knowledge workers and college students nowadays.

It's free to start, and I'm looking forward to hearing from your advices.

It looks really solid!

I'm also really fond of the product. If the execution is solid, I'm definitely interested in throwing some money at it

Working on a tool to speed up iterations of backtesting Algo trading strategies (https://foxtradetools.com/):

- Visual tool for building strategies

- Backtest on site or MT5 EA using same json configurations

- Running EA live (or paper mode) in prod automatically feeds the trades back to the site for analysis

- The thing I am most happy with: you can click any trade in backtest result and see exactly which rules were true at the bar that fired

You can try it in action w/o signup using taster page (https://foxtradetools.com/taster)

Solo dev. Open to any feedback.

Instant linux boxes via ssh that suspend on disconnect. Checkout https://shellbox.dev

The idea is to have "real" linux, exposing ipv6, supporting nested virtualization, docker, etc.

Cool, thanks for sharing. How would you compare Shellbox with exe.dev?

I track wait times at the Berlin immigration office. I just added a graph that shows how wait times improve/worsen over time. I generate the SVG without any external dependencies. It was a fun exercise.

I wish I had more time for such projects, but since AI is now capturing most of the traffic, I am losing a lot of my income and I have to make up for it. It's a huge distraction.

You will probably have to use the BigInt data type to track those wait times.

I built The Daily Baffle over at https://dailybaffle.com with a whole bunch of word and logic puzzles I designed.

There's Truthsorting, a logic puzzle where you have to order logical statements to make them true or false.

Pathword, a puzzle where you lay out letters along a path to spell out 4 words.

Morphology, a clued word ladder written by a different contribution daily.

And a few others!

I've been trying to promote it for a few months but I haven't had a ton of luck, to be honest. The audience hovers around 500 people and growing it beyond that has been pretty challenging.

Checked out your puzzles! Very cool. I'm also building a collection of daily puzzles (https://gramjam.app). Would be interested in chatting about your experience with marketing and outreach!

I've been working on my open source integration-platform-as-a-service (iPaaS) auth proxy. It provides an embeddable integration marketplace where users can connect 3rd party apps, and it provides a proxy endpoint to the host application to send authenticated outbound requests. That way token refresh, audit, etc stay with this system and frees the host application/agent/whatever free to just focus on the business logic.
