I built Home Cam because I needed a security camera I could trust. Every app I tried either streamed to someone’s server or buried analytics in the code.What it does:
• Turns any iPhone (iOS 15+) into a motion-activated camera
• Records locally up to 4K 60 fps, stores clips in an AES-256 vault
• Works fully offline by default so nothing leaves the device unless you enable iCloud Photos
•...
Yes, I love the idea of gamified learning. I've been working in my free time on gamified learning of git. Will call it something like "Git Commit Crimes". After receiving such a positive feedback for SQL Noir I'll definitely continue to make such games. I might also think about making one for Python since that was requested a couple of times.

I made a simple site to highlight indie hackers building cool things on Twitter
What it does:
• Shows a live community leaderboard of makers on X (Twitter)
• Anyone can login, vote & add new players to the board
• Top 3 makers are shown on top with Gold, Silver & Bronze medals

I posted about SQL Noir a while ago — it’s an open-source game that teaches SQL through narrative-driven investigations. You act as a detective solving crimes by writing real SQL queries against actual databases.Since then, I’ve added 2 new cases (now 6 in total), improved the UX, and fixed a bunch of early issues thanks to community feedback.It’s still 100% free and open source. Would love...
Thank you for the heads up.
No, I haven’t, frankly, I didn’t even know this existed. Thanks for the tip!

I’ve been a long-time reader of Lobsters and would love to become an active part of the community. I’m especially into developer tools, learning platforms, and building small, thoughtful projects.If anyone has an invite to spare or advice on how to get one, I’d be very [email protected]

I wanted my toddler to benefit from early exposure to multiple languages but struggled to find a simple, engaging tool. So, I created 'Learn Colors - In 30 Languages,' a minimalist app designed specifically for toddlers.The app helps children learn basic colors through interactive play, high-quality audio pronunciations, and a clean, minimalist design. Each language features carefully generated...
Just implemented it. Looks really nice on Desktop. Nice and compact.
Yes! I just implemented a "Side By Side" view that will enable you to view 2 separate tabs side by side. Only on Desktop.
Oh wow. That's strange. What browser are you using?
Yep. This was a bug. I just fixed it.
Indeed. I think I just fixed this bug.
Good notes indeed. I have just implemented a side by side view so that you can view 2 tabs at once. I hope this helps. Also as other users suggested you can use the notes for saving queries but you can also comment them out in the editor.
Thank you for the suggestions. I have just implemented the following:
- Side by Side view to open up two different tabs at the same time
- Copy button to copy table names
Thanks for pointing that out. I just fixed the single line comments. It should work as expected now.
Yep, comments are broken. Currently working on a fix.
Haha. You found a cheat code I guess. I would have to think of hiding the answers from plain sight for the next cases or adding some more rows that include these specific strings.
Glad you asked. I don’t want to put a price tag on it because I believe everyone should have access to learning for free. The right to learn shouldn’t be behind a paywall. That said, I’ve added a ‘Buy Me a Coffee’ link for anyone who wants to support the project. No pressure, just an option!
Thank you for pointing that out. During the creation of the cases I did not take much consideration on naming the tables. I will either make all of them plural or singular.
Thank you for pointing that out. Will look into it.
Thank you very much. That's actually a great suggestion. I completely forgot about that. As for the single line comments, indeed this is a bug, I'll try to fix it.
You can try commenting out the first query with -- and running it like that. I have not implemented yet the ability to run multiple queries.
That's a good suggestion. I'm not sure if screen real estate won't be a problem though.
You should be able to add -- and comment out lines of queries. If not, this is a bug that I will investigate. Also you can use the Notes tab to store any past queries and findings.
An honorable mention. This was in fact my inspiration for creating SQL Noir.

I built SQL Noir, an interactive detective game that challenges you to solve mysteries using real SQL queries. It’s fully open source, designed to give you a practical and immersive way to learn SQL while engaging with a narrative-driven mystery.
