I'll start: I'm building PriceUnlock, a tool that will help you find the best pricing for your SaaS product. I'll post more in the comments so as to not hijack the post's description!
I've always found various solutions that use git for sharing configuration files cumbersome. I set out to make my own simple version control system, and a lightweight web application where I can browse and edit them remotely. The main idea is that paths are aliased to simple names, so I can say `dotfile pull i3` and it will install https://dotfilehub.com/knoebber/i3 to ~/.config/i3/config
Overall the project is stable and I use it daily for all sorts of miscellaneous files.
I have a minor, but chronic medical condition I am trying to get in check, and I just wanted something incredibly simple to identify good and bad days. I was inspired by "year in pixels" calendars.
And I took the opportunity to try out Userbase[0] and build something with a secure backend and no tracking, considering the potentially sensitive nature of it.
No plans for monetization at the moment. I could see adding more features such as tracking multiple data points, stats, correlations, notes, etc., and creating a premium version. I would need more users and feedback.
I was interested in playing around with the Spotify API and this was a narrowly-scoped problem I personally had and could solve in a single weekend. I'm happy with the results, about 500 users have logged in and created a playlist.
It is a bookmarking app with:
- Full text search
- Permanent Archives (Private WYSIWYG and archive.org)
- Full text search on browsing history
- Save all your open tabs in 1 click
- Chrome (and family), Firefox extensions
- Reader Mode
- Fully open source codebase BSD licensed
- SaaS & Self-hostable
- And more...

I used to keep running into issues where I remember reading something somewhere on the internet but would forget where I read it.
I have tabs open for documentation, github, PM tools, cloud storage, AWS, localhost, etc. It becomes a mess, especially when working on multiple projects, and adds cognitive load.
I've used many bookmarking services. Pinboard can save tabs but the full text search doesn't support SPA sites and the product has stopped evolving. Raindrop is beautiful, but it can't save the browsing history or tabs. The permanent copy they both save is what their server sees, not what I see in my browser.
I wanted a swiss-army knife of bookmarking tools that does it all so I can keep everything in one place, and that's what I've made.
PS: I built this around 5 years ago to scratch my own itch and learn Flask, I'm working on finding the target audience that would pay for something like this. Can anyone help me there?
There are similar apps out there, but to my knowledge my app is the only one that is both 100% free and supports 1080p @ 30 FPS.
Hope any of you find it useful: https://webcamplus.app
It's a fully native MacOS app (swift, not electron/etc) built on top of the Zoom SDK that transforms meeting participants into moveable/resizable circles on your screen and offers additional power tools to get your desktop back and have more control over your meeting experience.
It's just two of us now, working as fast as we can and listening to user feedback to drive priorities on our roadmap.
It's free to use - we would love to hear feedback from anyone willing to give it a shot!
I've been working on a viewer for Github's Awesome lists to make them more useable. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm close.
With most of the lists being text based, it was hard to know if the repo it linked to was still being maintained and popular enough to safely use in personal projects.
Now anyone that uses my project can easily visualize all of the repos and query them to find projects that are still actively maintained.
I tried to build it in open https://www.indiehackers.com/product/hanami and plan to blog more about my journey on https://hanami.run/blog.
I started this because I want to make send and receive email easier once I bought a domain.
I also want to give my wife and me has some kind of mail alias so both of us can receive email(kids information, hospital etc).
Right now, I'm working hard to add Disposable email feature and add team access.
It tries to make planning a website or mobile app as close as possible to the pen and paper experience.
It does this in a simple but (from my, and the experience of those who have tested it out) very effective and engaging way.
I share a bit more about how this is done here: https://simpleprogrammer.com/information-architecture-develo....
Software Development Job Search with metadata to allow developers to filter jobs by any facet that Software Developers could want:
- Interview Style - Open Seating vs. anything better. - Pay Rate - Work Hours Expectation - Automated Productivity Monitoring/Surveillance
Of course hiring managers would be reluctant to divulge so much; I'm currently working to attract enough (free!) Software Developer/Job Seeker profiles that hiring managers will be more or less compelled to post on the site.
For the past year or so.
I'm also building an MMO game, and you can read the technical details/build thread here: https://jvm-gaming.org/t/tdworld-development-thread/69948/10...
This tool displays you timestamped alerts (nudity, sex, violence or gore). So if you plan to watch a film with your child, your parents or other conservative relatives - you know when the danger scenes are going to hit you.
Since I watched lots of films during the lockdown, I thought this would be a good use of time.
Create sharable links with different images, so you can share the same article multiple times, e.g. on twitter keeping your feed nice and clean.
For those interested in the details, it renders an html page with custom metatags and immediately redirects to the target. Redirect happens in js, so crawlers actually display our metatags vs the target ones. It's just a hack I've tested a while ago, a couple marketer friends liked it and so I decided to make it into a micro SaaS.
If you want to try it out, I recommend to have a blog post handy. (also, credit card are disabled, but I like to keep the landing page "final".)

I think the world is better when you give people more flexibility about when and from where the can collaborate with each other - I saw it in action at GitLab when I was working there - and I hope this makes a difference for people.

Something that displays your personal history on a timeline: photos, geolocation, social media, searches, browsing history, transactions, chats etc.
My goal was to have a repository of my personal data that isn't controlled by a third party. I can use it as a much more contextual diary, and as a way to locate things in time (e.g. purchases, motorcycle maintenance). It's both interesting and useful.
It's inspired by my travel diaries, Google History, my photo stream, and the notebook that sits on my desk.
It's live since a while, but I'm still working on adding new sources of data.
Theres also https://github.com/nicbou/homeserver, my personal streaming service. It's in production since a few years. Recently, I added a watch party mode (WebSockets!) and updated the reencoding logic to waste less disk space.

Unfortunately my free time is quite limited :(
But the gist of it is: * We're aiming to make it easier and less risky to try charging more/less * Aiming to help you stop leaving money on the table (or take too much money from the table?) by enabling you to easily charge different prices in higher/lower-income countries — like Apple, Netflix, etc. do * Aiming to make A/B testing of prices headache-free
I'm still building PriceUnlock and revealing more bit by bit! Curious to hear your story about your SaaS pricing and how you got there — and whether you ever got to 100% confidence that the prices you set were "right"?
That aside, would love to hear what others are working on now to see if my feedback can be helpful!
A Rust- and WebAssembly-based simulation product that helps design, communicate, and analyze systems of software tooling. It’s a fun and interesting side project, which should be finished pretty soon.
Shapefiles are sort of a rare format. Hoping to ingest all the data into a SQLite/SpatiaLite database to make it a more general purpose data source.
My goal is to learn SwiftUI and explore new Apple technologies.
The app is now open source on GitHub as well, it's my way to give back to the community as I was learning it. [3]
Feedback welcome!

Great for recording content (interviews) remotely easily & in high-quality.
Cleave is an application that lets users persist OS state as a "context" - saving and loading open applications, their windows (and their positions), tabs, open files/documents and so on. Think of it as a workspace or project manager from an IDE, but on the OS-level.
Started because of frequent multitasking of heavy work with limited resources. Made it because I wanted to switch between studying, working, reading, looking for an apartment, etc. without manually managing all states or consuming all resources.
I'll release an Open Beta (macOS) as soon as I finish license verification and delta updates, but I keep getting sidetracked...

Its backend (Exocore[2]) is built on top of a personal / private blockchain and is made from the ground up to be hosted in a semi-decentralized fashion on your own personal devices (your computer, raspberry pi, a cloud instance, etc.). It is written in Rust and has iOS, C and Web (WASM) clients.
It has very rough edges, but I'm using it daily to organize my life. It has also been my learning playground to improve my Rust skills over the last two years (it was on another tech stack before). [1]: https://github.com/appaquet/exomind [2]: https://github.com/appaquet/exocore
This was a project for me to learn the full stack (non coder before) and been a really exciting journey. 6 months ago I thought it would take me 2 months to build and launch:D
Getting it out there (the Show HN) got me some very important feedback and identified some issues which I'm fixing right now.
My girlfriend and I really enjoy good food and travel. We spend a lot of our time cooking, eating, and going to breweries and wineries. We have a few favorite cities near us, like Charlottesville and the surrounding wine country in Virginia, and Portland, Maine. We've been there with enough frequency that we've developed a sort of reputation as the go-to experts for those areas, and have sent a long e-mail itinerary and travel guide to our close friends probably 10 or 15 times for each place.
Sometimes our friend requesting recommendations doesn't drink alcohol, so we go through and scrub all the breweries and wineries. Sometimes they're gluten free, so all of the pizza and bagels we love get cut. After doing this several times, we realized it would be cool to have an app to do this. So that is my side project!
It will be part Canva, part Facebook Recommendations, part knowledge-base. Filterable lists, creation of itineraries, notes about each Place (Google Places/Maps integration). Export to a static site with a link you can share.
The neat thing is, as I mentioned above, it has filters. So you can tag places with "winery" or "vegetarian" or something, and when you're building your guide for your friends, you can filter on those tags really easily. You could just click the "winery" tag to instantly create a "Virginia Wine Guide".
I'm not totally sure it has broad appeal, but I'm hoping a few friends and maybe some travel bloggers get some use out of it. V2 will probably have some sort of "export to CMS" feature. V3 will hopefully be more of a social network.
We'll see how it goes :)

This is still WIP and could need some traction ;)
It's called DailyHabits and it's in early-bird access today. Do share your thoughts :)
My intent is to easily write Internet-connected software for old machines where a host machine is doing all of the heavy lifting. I have been messing with 68k Macintosh systems first. The code is very much a work in progress that I am actively chipping away at, and not in a usable state just yet. I write a lot of nodejs professionally but haven't used C since college so its been a fun project.

With current solutions, you either have a text format with limited data types and have to encode things into strings (hoping the other side will understand how to convert them), or you use a binary format that's painful to read and use. My solution is a twin binary AND text format with seamless 1:1 conversion between them, and support for all common data types.
* No more coercing everything into potentially incompatible strings.
* No more interoperability issues - all common types are supported natively.
* No more having to choose between efficiency (binary) and readability (text).
I'm still finishing off the reference implementation and there will probably be some more tweaks here and there on the spec, but here's what it is currently: https://concise-encoding.org
A web app that will give you a list of questions that can be used to break ice or know others well.
You can be with just one or more friends - once person goes thru the questions till they select one. Then everyone answers that question.
2. In addition, I have been spending time building a few open-source Jekyll based projects
Moonwalk - https://github.com/abhinavs/moonwalk - is a fast and minimalistic blog with clean dark mode
Cookie - https://github.com/abhinavs/cookie - is a fast and easy to deploy landing website that comes with a blog, additional pages. It uses Tailwind CSS, that makes editing it very easy.
At the moment there's no way for me to integrate with brokers and get up-to-date portfolios, but since I am a mostly passive investor it only takes me a few minutes a week to update my positions.
I'd appreciate any honest feedback and tips as I haven't had much success in finding anyone besides myself who'd want to use this.

Neural nets in general are much less complicated than I thought they would be, at least as a practitioner.
I’ll keep an eye on the the thread, feel free to ask me any questions. (Or email me, email is in my profile)
No website yet :-(
It aims at being a fully featured server app to share screenshots, and will be having a desktop and android client. The far-far end goal is to have something as good as ShareX but self-hosted and cross platform. The client will feature a toolbox as the one found in ShareX which I really love but with the added benefit of allowing plugins to enrich it
Been on it for half a year more or less, as of today, I've got the API working and a cli client that works well in conjunction with maim, and I'm focusing on the web ui
There will be little coding beyond some vanilla JS and that’s what I like about it as I code all day.
These are, somehow, curated news extracting relevant trends and some edge cases. I see it as a way of using my procrastination positively so I don't really care how popular will it be. I always wanted to read something like this but couldn't find it elsewhere. It may be useful to others also.
I am using reddit content data for it
I just finished the functional pieces. Right now, the site is a bit rough in terms of styling but I am tackling that next along with UX.
With a friend I build Kameleont.me ( https://kameleont.me/ ) - A link "shortener" where the url redirects to diffrent targets based on device or OS.
On my own I build SOGDb ( https://sogdb.com/ ) - An open database for all available Stadia games with filtering options for local/online multiplayer support and such.
Completely self-hosted. Cross-platform. Server and desktop editions. Community-prioritized new feature development.
