A side project to keep track of themes being released for Omarchy: https://omarchythemes.com/

Been enjoying using Omarchy and this is my way of keeping tabs on what's going on.

They didn't boycott, it was just a pause.

Yep, do this all the time. Since I build web based I do end up making them public, but really only built for myself.

We curated over 200 (and still growing) great example of podcast cover art. You can filter covers by categories and other criteria, to find great examples of what works best to hook listeners.

Thanks! Yep built with LaravelPHP, and Nova as the really simple CMS (https://nova.laravel.com/).

Headline is accurate

So were all the other states they called, what's your point?

Was talking with a friend about this earlier today.

We figured we could access census data for the states/counties and see how the population has shifted, between elections.

Definitely doable, would just need some time to collect the data.

Thanks for the feedback, will add a FAQ or something to explain, but posting here too:

Red/Blue is an indication who won that state in 2016.

The shading (light -> dark) was mean't be an indicator of how much participation in the current election.

The lighter the color, the closer to 100% of the 2016 voting numbers has already been achieved.

Will add some sorting options!

Like many of you, the Election on Tuesday is front of mind, and will be for a few days after :-/

I was thinking about the number of people that actually vote, and with more states allowing early voting, I wondered how it would affect participation in the election (given the current pandemic).

I was able to find the raw data on http://www.electproject.org/ but wasn't happy with how it was being displayed, so I created my own visualization.

See a few comments mentioning me (the developer :)) so here goes ...

When I started working on newCo I was working on it my spare time. I decided it would best for newCo if Ben was able to focus on it fulltime, instead of splitting the revenue with me, then having to supplement his income with other work.

To be clear Ben was willing to share the revenue with me at the time. I was in a place where that wasn't necessary and I thought it would best if it went to Ben until we hit certain milestones which we never did.

MakerPad was something totally new that Ben started after we decided to fold newCo, he did 100% of the work for many years, and deserves all the success it has brought.

Ben is a friend, and I'm happy I was a part of his "startup" journey. I'd be more than happy to work with him on projects in the future.

I go into all my projects with a clear mind, knowing what I'm risking (usually only my time).

I built Branded Background to help anyone create a Zoom virtual background with their logo on it.

Having your logo on a virtual background is a great way to keep your brand front and center during business calls.

Would love to know know what you think!

Still deciding between 2 directions for the short term (based on user feedback)...

Either -) More personalization so you can focus in on the topics that really interest you.

or -) Providing more information on the podcast (hosts and episode specific information) so listeners can better judge if they will enjoy a podcast.

Will probably do both eventually, but with limited time trying to decide which is more important and to tackle first.

Keeping it simple was hard work!

But seriously wanted a quick clean experience and keep the focus on the podcasts.

With over 850K podcasts, and an estimated 450K active podcasts finding the gems to listen too is getting harder than ever.

Rather than discovering podcasts, Pod Hunt makes episodes the focal point of discovery. You won't find a the same tired list of top podcasts you see everywhere else.

Instead a daily updated list of new episodes is submitted and voted on by the Pod Hunt community members.

Would love to know what you all think...

This was my submission to the Product Hunt Makers Festival: API Edition in the data visualization category.

I wanted to make it easier to see who makers had worked with and hopefully make it easier to find people to work with on future projects thru their existing networks.

MCU Movies started as a simple one page website in 2017, an easy way to keep track of the movies in the MCU and keep an eye on the upcoming movies in the franchise.

I've continued to grow the site as the MCU continued to grow in popularity.

One for the Football fans out there...

I couldn't find an easy way to track the remaining fixtures for Liverpool and Manchester City (and also at the time Spurs) so I decided to build a website to make it super easy.

Everything updates automatically via data from: https://www.football-data.org/

I built Follow Team because the idea kept nagging me because I wanted to use it, but it didn't exist.

As a big fan of Twitter I’m always looking out for great people to follow. When I come across a new product or startup I often think it would be great to follow the team behind it. Unfortunately this is harder todo than it should be.

This was actually fun. I showed it to the rest of my engineering team, and even learned a few really useful things. Thanks for sharing.

If it's a simple CRUD app, whatever stack you already know.

For a simple CRUD app the stack is irrelevant. You'll want to get to market as quickly as you can and that will be with the stuff you already know.

What a cop out.

If they really wanted to solve the problem all it takes it consuming their own firehose API and writing back to delete flagged content.

You really don't need to insert the moderation into the "backend", you just have to want to solve the problem, instead of accepting the problem because it fuels your growth.

After a tweet from a friend I got thinking about the value of crypto currencies when compared to other financial assets and built Cap Compare to feed my curiosity.

Oh nice idea, will add that too!

Update: Done :)

I built this one page website on Saturday morning while watching a EPL soccer match, because we're in a bubble right?

I wrote about the idea, process, tech: https://medium.com/makesideproject/how-much-is-a-bitcoin-wor...

We came up with the idea a couple of weeks ago after we signed up for the Product Hunt hackathon.

We did some thinking on it, but didn't start designing or development until the start of Hackathon, which was yesterday.

You can checkout the Twitch stream where Seth worked on the design here: https://go.twitch.tv/videos/186775869

About a day in elapsed time, probably about 6-7h of actual work.

I love building quickly and getting users in on the website, to help us drive future development.

Although we've only been live a few hours, we've already had a ton of great feedback.

It's much easier to get people involved (even if it's just to give you advice on how to fix things) if they can use the app.

That really helps me get to the finish line, because I'm not thinking I'm going to launch the app in this state. I'm just trying to get it to the next checkpoint. Either I fix the UI/UX or get other involved who can.

Alternatively, UI kits are really cheap (some are free), on sites like ThemeForest, just pick one of those and run with as best you can. There will be rough edges, but for the most part the app will look good enough.
