HACKER Q&A
📣 LockAndLol

Do you have any projects you'd like input or collaboration on?


I'm sure some of you have projects you've been working on alone and wouldn't mind some input on. Maybe you're good at algorithms, but suck at UI or the inverse? Maybe you'd just like some constructive criticism, hints or tips on how to do something?

Maybe HN can put their collective heads together during this quarantine and work together :)

Sure, I’ll bite!

I wouldn’t mind someone to look at my horribly hacked together python helper scripts (python2: https://bitbucket.org/koalephant/shell-script-library/src/de..., python3: https://bitbucket.org/koalephant/shell-script-library/src/de...)

I do not write a lot of python so you can’t hurt my feelings telling me how bad they are. If anyone feels really bored and wants to improve them, there’s unit tests that should help (technically the unit tests cover the shell functions that call each helper script) in the repo.

If anyone feels ridiculously bored and wants to port one to ruby or Perl (or heck even awk if you’re feeling particularly adventurous) I’ll be forever grateful.

I've been working on a small outdoor / ultralight hiking gear management app https://www.packrat.app. I've been getting some good feedback from memebers of the ultralight hiking community and am using this as an opportunity to learn Kotlin Multiplatform. My initial prototype was written in SwiftUI. From there I rewrote all the state management in a shared Kotlin library and I'm now slowly working on the Android version using Jetpack Compose. The whole stack is experimental and has been a fun and sometimes frustrating learning experience. Would love some feedback from HN on the app and my general approach.

I'm pretty bad at front-end but last few days I've been playing around with d3js and I've done a new section of my Golang Cafe job board - Salary Insights https://golang.cafe/Golang-Developer-Salary-USA it's open source too https://github.com/golang-cafe/golang.cafe

I’ve been working on and off for about a year on https://contextualise.dev/, a (collaborative) knowledge base application. It’s open source (https://github.com/brettkromkamp/contextualise) so contributing code is always appreciated but having some road map-level input would be great, as well ;)

We're working on an (at the moment manually curated, rule-based) AI devops solution, generating build definition(s) and deployment scripts automatically. Deployment may be docker based, single-instance test deployments, blue/green, hardware backed production deployments and anything above.

You're picking the environment you deem necessary and affordable, and our solution will automatically create appropriate build + deployment scripts for you. We promise no lock-in, generated scripts are downloadable and executable on-premises.

Our working MVP currently supports Java/Gradle based backends and angular / react based frontends. Supported databases are currently PostgreSQL. Supported cloud platforms are currently AWS, Azure to come next.

Roadmap:

* Azure support

* Google cloud support

* .net core backend support

Our own platform runs using our own product. We're searching for a select few alpha customers (lifetime free, incl. support).

If you're interested post a public comment here. No public details will be provided. The planned public alpha launch date will be around September 2020.

I have been working on https://turbovar.com , which is a Java SaaS Template. Input on how to improve the landing page and how to increase customer acquisition would be highly appreciated.
