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 don't think I'd ever want to accept donations or sell it. It should always be pretty cheap to host unless it blows up, which I kind of doubt. But who knows!
I’ve seen some awesome looking terminals / setups while watching programming demos / tutorials.
I would totally try their setup if they had a link to it via your site.
Likewise, any sort of preview / screen shot on your site would be awesome.
Well executed thus far.
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....
P.S: Feedback for feedback, if you're down? https://bychgroup.com/price-unlock/
You might be spending a bit too much time on the problem here. It may be worth spending a bit more on the solution and making that clearer.
Right now it seems that its hidden within the modal underneath the copy. It should be much higher and not within a modal.
I would also try to say more with less with the problem. Again, it felt like it took a little too long to get to the point (and the point you're making is a pretty good one I might add!).
I find that with people who are more on the 'founder' end of the customer spectrum, particularly those who are tech focused, too much 'copy' and 'slow salesmanship' can be a negative. We tend to err on the side of 'just tell me and I'll figure out if its valuable' if that makes any sense.
I hope this helps?
Good luck man!

Plus some bugs you might want to be aware of - the "Coming Soon" floating labels are pretty off-centre on the links, and the hamburger menu when the browser is in portrait is nearly unusable and splits the "Sign Up - Free" button in half. This is on Safari on a Mac.
The site in general is in 'under construction' mode right now, so rest assured these issues will all be resolved by launch. We're just dedicating all of our energy towards the first version right now, so have not polished everything.
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.
Then someone somewhere in India needs to make sure the job ran successfully by attempting to open that CSV file and doing a smoke testing.
I'm looking forward to this!
Using powerquery and power pivot
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...
1) Can you talk a bit more (to a non-technical person) about how the code embed works
2) As a suggestion, I think you'd do well in no/low-code communities or products. Webflow is a tool I use so I believe it'd be a success there, since the average Webflow user doesn't know how to code advanced stuff, but they know Webflow has a 'code embed' where they can slap a few lines (i.e. Fastcomments' snippet) and stuff works
Low-code communities/products makes up a good portion of our existing userbase indeed (Wordpress, Webflow, the like). Webflow, Zendesk, Shopify, Salesforce plugins are planned. We currently have an awesome WP plugin.
The other half of our customers are using tools like Gatsby.
Here's a blog post from the first month of building the product. Over a year later, lots has changed (I'm also a better writer, sorry!): https://blog.winricklabs.com/(1-24-2020)-how-fastcomments-wa...
Will read the link you've added. Feedback for feedback? https://bychgroup.com/price-unlock/
I looked at price unlock. I saw you start with providing an email and backed out, didn't understand what kind of information I'd have to provide or get at first glance. Good idea though.
I'm announcing Price Unlock but collecting emails at the end for those that want to be updated.
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".)

For Seth Godin's blog, it seems he's periodically rotating the image tag at his blog level. All the post get the same image for a certain amount of time.
With MultiPreview you set the images you want. But the time rotation could be a nice feature, I'll add it to the list! Thanks again!

It's a probabilistic programming powered hockey game prediction model. It hasn't been performing too badly this season! https://twitter.com/hockeystatisti1/status/13700659799889797...
Early each morning this batch job loads the previous day's posterior as priors, fetches the results for the games played that day, and then fits the Bayesian network to the game results to get new posteriors. I make predictions with these posteriors and then write all the results back to DynamoDB.
The frontend is essentially D3, Django, and Zappa.
There are other posts on my blog about this project. There are links directly to them in the GitHub README: https://github.com/evjrob/bayes-bet#associated-blog-posts
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.

Creating a Microsoft Teams library + client (WIP): https://github.com/fossteams/teams-api
Unfortunately my free time is quite limited :(
Any live demo?
Still WIP, no live demo at the moment, but the screenshots that you see on the dev-portal repo are already what you get :)
The design reference that you link is how I want it to be, I spent quite some time focusing on the look and feel with Figma, and I'm really happy about the results, I just need to do the 90% of the work now :D
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!
Not really automatic price-setting, at least not by default! I would personally like to have control over the knobs in my product.
It would give you a dashboard where
A) You would be able to set the prices manually (with suggestions, of course, and with taking into account things like extra Stripe fees, rounded estimations so you don't wound up with £28.837 in the UK).
You'd set them manually based on country, so you won't leave money on the table by not charging less in India, for instance.
I'm always mentioning India because Apple is the widest example that comes to mind: Apple one is £15 and £25 in the UK, whilst $1.5 and $3 in India
B) Run tests that you set manually on prices. $19 vs $29 — see, with metrics, which one brings your company more revenue. Or perhaps same revenue, but more users, so more word of mouth — who knows what the test will show?
You'd be able to either schedule (e.g. $19 for week 1, $29 for week 2) or run tests at the same time (show 50% of ppl $19 , show 50% of ppl $29 // OR show ppl in the Uk $19, show ppl in the US $29)
RE: your last comment — the best part would be that it'd be a flat fee per month, no percentages! So every extra cash that you receive from ppl on top of the flat fee is yours to keep for... well for as long as your "LT" in LTV!
How does that sound, you think?
Thea complexity you've alluded to in your various descriptions start to get really hairy once you scratch the surface, for example:
You mentioned trading off lower prices for more users. Whether the tradeoff is worth it depends not just on the difference in income, but on the marginal cost of serving another user (which itself may be variable).
You mentioned more users leading to more WOM. That is a huge assumption, you have to actually measure your viral coefficient (which might actually change with different prices) to know whether that hypothetical WOM actually leads to more users.
You may need to optimize for cash flow instead of just income. As one example, you could try a higher monthly price combined with a larger discount (two months free instead of one) for paying up front for a year. That may lower the total number of signups but a greater % pay for a year, improving your cashflow (and with fewer signups, you may have better profit margins on a similar income).
You can add an additional expensive plan to act as an 'anchor' that no-one ever picks but makes the regular plan seem like a better deal.
There are so many ways to adjust pricing, and every part of your conversion funnel (and business model) may be affected, sometimes with counterintuitive results. Figuring out what some change to your pricing plans is really doing for (or to) your business can be really hard. Instrumenting your funnel and business model so you can actually see what a pricing change would really do to the businesses finances over time would be extremely useful.
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]

Great for recording content (interviews) remotely easily & in high-quality.
Drives the point home! Would love to try it, as I've recorded a podcast with 13 episodes before: https://chdaniel.com/podcast
What made you turn this from side -> main -> side project? What are you working on now, specifically, on Welder?
Happy to hear that Welder seems meaningful for you. You should definitely give it a try.
Btw thanks for letting me know what convinced you, we are actually in the process of updating the LP and this is valuable feedback.
So when covid thing happened we started on a few side projects as we though it's a great opportunity to build something that will help people in current situation.
We created MVP of app for therapists to do remote sessions, system for creative people to share their thoughts, Slack bot for devs to streamline their workflow and Welder.
Welder took of the most in our validation phase.
We decide to jump full time into it straight away as the demand was big. Few months in we already had paying customers, but the growth was not as fast as we needed.
We started thinking about VC funding, but finally it didn't feel right, we loved the product, but not as much. We didn't feel like it's the next unicorn. We would be lying to the VCs and we didn't want to.
So after 8 months we decided to put it back on side track as we had two options
1) VC capital and boost the generalistic tool as hell > Nope 2) Finding a niche, stick with it, understand it and deliver solution that is different enough from other generalistic competitors who raised (we didn't love it enough and we didn't feel big enough differentiator is there).
We actualy share a lot of this on our YT channel if you are interested https://www.youtube.com/c/CrazyMonkeys/
Hope this is helpful for you!
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...

I'm just starting with a clear niche and solving my own problems. Where many of my friends and myself are in bilingual relationships that have been trying to learn our partner's languages.
In the US, 15% of new marriages are multi-ethnic, so that's pretty large already. I think people are surprised how common it is. And it easily pique's people's interests who are in the situation versus another generic language learning platform.
If the project goes well, it can expand and branch out (e.g., adding friends/family, connecting to other peers, finding strangers to learn with). Right now, it works very well as a language learning tool, even without a partner.

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
Paid version, not so much. I haven't done very much to promote it however.
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 :)

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.

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

Will come back to this post to give you feedback later.
I think the landing page is really well done - that kind of format can be bad if the content isn't well written but each sentence made me want to read the next so I think you've pulled it off. I do think some visuals to reinforce your message might help (e.g. a graph of willingness to pay vs location, etc.).
My understanding of this is that it's going to sit amongst your pricing code and run experiments to change the price dynamically and return the best result after some time - is that correct? If so, I do wonder why no one has pulled this off particularly well as a SaaS before? (or have they?). I believe that Profitwell for example makes their revenue from consulting.
The other thing is that if my understanding above is correct, what stops the user from just cancelling once you've optimised their pricing and you lose capturing a lot of the value you've created for them (again, you revenue model may be completely different, I don't know).
I would also question whether this kind of thing isn't ultimately solved by the old "talk to you users" thing and understanding what they would pay from that strategy rather than software (at least with purchasing power parity though software + independent research does seem more likely to work since it's hard to talk to people from all over the world).
Ultimately this is the kind of thing I would give a try once I have some moderate amount of revenue and I feel that I've at least figured out who my customers are and can then optimise from there.
Pretty cool anyway, hope it succeeds and I'm in a position to try it out in a few months.
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

Splits files across multiple QR codes for “sending” across air-gapped computer systems. Generates numbered PNG files to scan.
The codes contain metadata about chunk number (e.g. “007 of 078”) to enable out-of-order scanning.
It's a fun way to learn Rust, and a great trick to get terrified looks from security folks.
I'm a little confused about the scenario here, how are you getting qrxfil onto the airgapped system, and why doesn't that method allow data egress?
For example, using ultrasonic audio as a channel allows you (once installed on the target system via a usb device) to invisibly exfil files to devices with no line of sight to the airgapped system.
Another method can steganographicly encode files into benign-seeming printed documents.

I have a document for myself where I note down what I believe to be future industries — trying to time the market. In the same way you might've timed the market in the early part of the previous decade by betting on remote working becoming a pretty viable option (hindsight is 20/20 tho!)
Self-hosted for privacy reasons, to me, is like a bomb waiting to explode. Just like covid accelerated our habits around healthcare (Perhaps future generations will look down on those who don't wear a mask when one catches a cold, the same way we look down on those who don't wash their hands after using the toilet... but in the 17th century that wasn't a thing), I believe mass privacy-awareness will come with a major leak/event.
Looking forward to Apr 1st (if the beta is launched there and it won't be just April Fools' lol!
P.S: Feedback for feedback, if you're down? https://bychgroup.com/price-unlock/
Easy self-hosting is great for privacy and a lot fun, finding it makes the web/net/computers exciting like it was when computers and the net were new. It does feel like a lot of things are coming together where self-hosting solutions may boom.
P.S. I understand the "Made with Bear" in the footer is part of the growth strategy and the "price" (albeit a tiny price) to pay for getting your blog hosted, is there option (paid or otherwise) to remove this, say if I wanted to host on my own domain?
You can create multiple checklists all dependant on
- What file paths were changed
- What content was added or removed
- What branch you're targeting
- And a bunch more stuff in the works
It's still free since theres some edges to smooth over.
I also put up a stupid side project ThriftyName[1] where you get a brand name for $5.

The instructions are pretty easy to follow. I am going to try it out this weekend. Thank you.
Please let me know if you run into any issues along the way.
I have been interviewing super cool early stage B2C founders/investors and writing about their insights, challenges, and different mental models.
A fun little revamp attempt of an old game “RobotGame” that I found on HN years ago, which unfortunately doesn’t exist anymore.
Basically a game where you write the bot AI, and battle out against other players in an automated sandbox environment.
A tool I created to replace Excel as an application container. I’ve worked in finance for years and our apps are mostly still hosted in excel. A live javascript programming environment is a great tool to replace Excel.

- XMPP server in Golang (very early stage)
- Mastodon port to Golang (also early stage)
(edit: formatting)
I'm focusing on legal text and documents over the more common "sentiment" classifications. Early days -- lots to do.
Main idea is to minimize the clicks for my three most common tasks: creating meetings, copying meeting link, and sharing memes.
Extract crucial information from Air Force Instruction manuals (AFIs) and produce an Excel workbook with the results for better reference.
I've switched from SaaS products to newsletter. UI/UX Tips for developers/founders/indie etc.
A website to create your developer portfolio and also generate resume from multiple template.
Tracks the most mentioned stocks on WallstreetBets subreddit. It also does sentiment analysis.
A gaming content curated newsletter. Heavily inspired by the Hacker Newsletter
Open source recursive Kanban board https://github.com/hpennington/kanception
Its like Letterboxd but for TV shows.
It works by sideprojects showing each other on their landing pages.
Personally, my go-to side project is to build a MUD (an online text-based multiplayer RPG, totally free. To play around with a popular one, type this in your terminal: telnet avatar.outland.org 3000. No affiliation with Avatar, but it's my favorite one to play.) There are some open-source MUD libraries written in C, C++, and other languages that might be a good reference. No web interface required!
