https://audiopea.com - Inspired by photopea, I'm building an online audio editor. Trying to do everything myself and make it all run on the client. Not too far along, but I plan on continue hammering at it...

Really cool project. I've been wanting to do something like this for my kids for a while.

Yes. YouTube kids in my experience wasn't enough - I didn't like the fact that it had recommendations of more videos to watch on the side, which allowed kids to move to another video every 10 seconds. Also, you need to manually block channels you don't like, so you keep discovering more channels when they've already watched them and it's too late.

I don't think GPL licenses really stop companies from scraping the code and using it to train their LLM's. Also, how would you prove they actually used your code ?

Yeah, I'm aware, but didn't bother yet to go further... I have been thinking about hosting my own git server to work on.

I'm not a prolific open source contributor anyways, but i'm wondering if the tides are changing in regards to open source.

I can imaging that many people in the open source community - even if they're giving away their code for free under the most permissive licenses, still somewhere enjoy the fact that people know they're looking at their code on github or wherever it may be hosted. But now that slowly people shifting to only looking at code via LLM chat apps, then they might want to contirbute less to open source... just wondering... ?

Thanks, I really appreciate the answer!

I've read a few books on parenting, various online articles and was also at some short seminars. My experience is very similar to yours in that when the people writing/teaching were just basing their knowledge on opinions or trends I feel like it was usually bad advice. When I read a book or article coming from people that worked in the field as developmental psychologists or experienced and well-educated social workers I felt the advice given was much, much better. That was the point of my question - trying to find resources that come from reputable people. I feel like it's very hard to find 'the good stuff'..

Regarding your point on seeking experts advice - I totally agree. I'm no stranger to the idea, and have been to psychologists quite a few times throughout the years. I'm definitely not against it, and when I'll run into difficult situations i'll definitely take that as an option as well. I was hoping to find sources of good advice for the day-to-day stuff that all parents deal with.

I feel that's a little like saying 'Everyone is unique, so psychologists are useless'.. Although everyone IS truly unique, there are still common patterns that emerge, and many commonalities in our upbringings.

We don't act completely randomly, not as children and definitely not as adults. We exist within a common environment with a common set of laws or norms that most people live by (excluding extreme cases, for various reasons).

btw - I like the article you shared here, and would love to find more sources of information like that.

Specifically regarding potty training and diapers though - I've heard that before (don't remember where), but since diaper money isn't a big issue for me, I would rather go with more 'modern' diapers and have the convenience that comes with that over cotton diapers (or no diapers at all) and have my kids potty trained earlier. But it's still very interesting and important to know the story behind it.

Maybe I should've added some more details, but I'm also interested in general. For me, I have 2 kids, one is 7 years old and the other 1 year old.

I know reading peer-reviewed papers would be very difficult, and I don't plan on reading a ton of research papers, but there is so much information out there from people that aren't educated or in a position to give out information.. I would like to know where I can read opinions from well known psychologists perhaps or other professionals that read and rely on peer-reviewed papers.

What I have in mind is something like how Andrew Huberman (the podcast HubermanLab) talks about various subjects and gives advice on certain health topics, while referencing research papers and studies on the subject, but on subjects related to parenting.

Some of the subjects that interest me are: suggested nutrition for young kids, how to develop healthy sleep habbits, toys and games that have healthy developmental impact on kids, effective punishments/rewards systems, good sources and ways to teach kids math/science/physics, effective ways to deal with ADHD, and more..

Love the very clean UI

I created TubeMail.io to get an email digest of new videos from a list of YouTube channels u define.

It's not open source, but free to use (with no ads or catches)

Wow, I think you didn't get enough credit here for replying to this thread! Kudos to you!

I personally like some aspects of it and dislike some other, but nothing major in my opinion. What I can say is that only recently I started using the 'Projects' feature and it's really awesome!

Amazing work, and assuming you're the real 'natfriedman' it's amazing you answered!! :)

This is just a fun project I did with a friend of mine. It's a "dating" app to find your soul mate tree :) (No money, no ads, no affiliate links, no data collecting, just pure fun!)

just out of curiosity - founder of what?

yep, I used to do it for so long myself too with dev tools, but today finally got fed up with that, and decided to create something a little more 'generic' that I could run as a bookmarklet. It already works for a few sites I ran into, hope it will continue to work!

Can you share at least a ballpark figure of how much you make from the affiliates on the site? And how many monthly users you have?

Can you share how much money you make? And is it all from Adsense?

yeah, exactly that, and the price to buy it for them was probably so cheap (relatively) that it's almost 0 investment

I believe we all have many online accounts - I, for example have an online bank account, credit cards, paypal, twitter, amazon, ebay, facebook, gmail, various forums, skype, apple id, even hacker news, and many, many more...

Using the same password for all your accounts isn't really possible because of different site limitations, not to mention the security risk you're taking. So I wonder how you manage all these passwords and keep track of them all safely...

How much time did you spend on marketing each one of these, and through which channels ? I have built a few tiny services/tools myself, deployed them but usually get close to 0 traction...

I realized I like to read and re-read some motivational articles I have and like, and it helps me out. Every once in a while I like going back to them. I figured there has to be at least some people like me out there, so why not share them, have others add to the list, and organize them by the best :) Please tell me what you think, I'm looking for all the feedback I can get in order to improve this side project.

This is a site I built mostly for fun, and to satisfy my need. There are still some major features I would like to add to this site, like the ability to turn a list to 'public' and send it to someone, create a google extension for it, a bookmarklet for easy saving. I'm not looking to earn money from this (at least not in the for-seeable future), and mainly did it for me. But then thought I would like to share with others if people enjoy it. :) In general, I would like some constructive feedback about anything on the site ?

Every employee in any company or business is either building the foundation or part of the foundation of another person's business. Being a developer isn't any different.

Today's education mostly pushes you toward becoming an employee. It's schools like stanford that teaching you to become an entrepreneur not the norm. I'm guessing that back in 1948 there were less jobs to begin with, and businesses tended to be much smaller. Also, probably starting a company was much easier - not financially, but probably beurocratically.

I think many developers would do so, the more important question is if the startup they're working for is also something they believe in, or at least believe can be successful, and how much 'say' they will have in the process of development in the other's startup.

I fixed many of the bugs happening on the site, and there's much less traffic now, so if someone didn't get a chance to see it, you can come back now :)

When uploading files, you can just download the one with the best compression. When inserting text, your text is replaces with the best compressed version. I understand I need to make that clearer. Thanks for the feedback, I will improve it!

Thanks for the comment. I will try to improve it within the upcoming days!

Totally right! I'm thinking about adding an online gzip function to this as well, to see what the end result will be.

From my personal testing UglifyJS and Closure Compiler are usually the best as well. They're also pretty close most of the time, but still I go with which ever one saves more.
