Love the pseudo-tactile approach.

Very fresh and almost calming :)

Perhaps the next product launch is this awesome little stats dashboard you have.

Make it a personal goal dashboard for concurrent website visitors for one's own projects and follower count. Just as you have it. It's kinda like Venmo, except for one's own sites/projects/goals.

Personally think this is awesome onto itself. Just that current goal bar is a great feature. Subscribe to the goal. Once it's reached, subscribers get a note. "see you can do great things, Alice just completed her follower goal! Send a note and show some love :)"

"The path to accuracy" is an important one, and thanks for the anecdotal story here.

I wonder if a more appropriate comparison is Spotify and the world of streaming and micropayments for artist credit. If all of these models attribute biggest inspiration of art/text/etc it may expand revenues as opposed to diminishing them which at the current rate may be the case with "AI" generated X.

yeah, exactly. a nice thought. it becomes an extension of stack overflow experience a bit too. plus contextual relevance is very high, as mentioned below. use ML to connect topics of code and then create powerful network of contextual coding literacy through engaging media clips. a wild ride, also of intrigue.

Great concept and nice implementation! Feels a bit like Justin.tv meets Github. Very cool.
Re:Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project? on Saturday May 16, 2020 @08:40AM (#23202916)
I’m creating a vessel inventory and maintenance tool for fellow boaters. Essentially, a boat’s headquarters.

I live aboard my sailboat and have found a need to have everything in an app for quick access and reference.

https://myvesselapp.com/

It’s in beta and I have 15 fellow boaters testing :)

Currently a web app.

Hi Sascha,

Great concept and a nice start! What is the current process for highlighting parts of videos you like?

Feel free to contact me through my details on my HN profile.

This is great! Thank you. Lots of great feedback here as well :) Look forward to following along and making more informed grocery choices.
Re:Ask HN: Side project ideas on Sunday November 19, 2017 @08:25PM (#15737097)
Both intriguing concepts. #2 is my interesting IMO as it can possibly be used for signing up for services that one doesn't want to display their primary email address. It also has a 'Snapchat' quality to it where email is a 'one off' and the account can easily be deleted, etc.

Also a way to manage accounts online (testing services, etc). It may be able to better manage issue of spam that many experience as all accounts are linked to one email for many users. Email communication becomes unnecessary for many accounts, plus authenticator apps and twilio make email less important.

Let's connect. I have a side project I'm currently creating. Contact details in my profile :)

Yeah I was surprised to see it posted again. Regardless, thanks for sharing :)
Re:Sites with a /now page on Tuesday January 05, 2016 @04:06PM (#10846037)
That's a great perspective on this project.
Re:Sites with a /now page on Tuesday January 05, 2016 @03:47PM (#10845885)
Nice reference, thanks for sharing.
Re:Sites with a /now page on Tuesday January 05, 2016 @03:46PM (#10845877)
We're in the process of adding more context by adding search, maps, and categories. In regards to 'utility' - it will enable you to connect with others that are focused and creating something similar to what you are doing.

This has the potential to help both individuals move forward.

Re:Sites with a /now page on Tuesday January 05, 2016 @03:34PM (#10845820)
Thanks for sharing the /about link.

nownownow.com features quick profiles of those with /now pages. It allows for a glimpse into the perspective of an individual with a few questions.

Browsing profiles can be nice way to read other's epiphanies. These thoughts may resonate with you and help drive forward what you're working on and potentially help get to the 'why' of what you're doing.

It's an important distinction to be made in regards to goals. 'Now' pages are less about goals and more about what is currently being created or focused on. Maybe an individual is working on a similar problem and you can help one another?

Re:Show HN: Shift – Photo filters designed by you on Thursday December 18, 2014 @01:47PM (#8768910)
Thanks for articulating this - it's a nice way of looking at it. This is one of six Pixite apps that brings another feel to creating 'edits' (or works of art made on mobile devices). All six apps work together to provide a pretty comprehensive platform for creating new things.
