Puzzleship - a free daily puzzles website with the archives paywalled. Right now it has Logic Grid Puzzles and Zebra Puzzles. I'm pretty proud of the LGP generator algorithm and some experienced players also liked the way the puzzles are constructed. This is my first subscription site and it's been online for less than a week, so I'm learning a lot and trying to figure out the pricing.

Flotte, a ssh access management solution for hobbyist and small to medium-sized businesses.

We aim to provide a fast JIT ssh cert attestation.

With focus on: * making on/offboard users fast * efficient workflows (no need to lookup passwords for logins or sudo) * mitigate private key leaks (especially in BYOD/BYOK environments) * Help admins manage server access fast

I've been working on a digital math workbook. Currently the demo covers fourth grade math. There is a practice mode where you can select the skills you to want practice. There is also a customizable dashboard where you can setup your own tasks. There is still a lot of work to do with improving the UI, but I think it is a good start.

I am currently working on fifth grade math. My plan is to cover first grade math up to Calculus and High School Physics. I envision it as a companion tool for Khan Academy/Math Class/Math Books. It is inspired by Chris McMullen's math workbooks.

Check out the demo. No signup required. Progress is only stored locally. https://demo.numerikos.com/

A different kind of Internet message board based on two principles: each sentence written must be true, and claims must be easy to verify.

I want something different than Reddit or HackerNews. Something that can't be gamed by flawed metrics or AI. There are some ideas for a different way to rank comments.

Edit: I wonder why this HN thread doesn't get lots of comments, why a similar thread from a week ago also didn't get lots of comments https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46118229 but a thread posted specifically by https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=david927 gets hundrerds to thousands of comments https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45869146

Working on https://greatreads.dev/ A place to aggregate and find articles from developers' blogs. Right now, I'm building a submission form for people to submit new sources.

There is also a way to search for articles using vectors, it's called "Semantic Search". So basically you can ask, for example, "Postgresql and how to best optimize it." and it would search for articles touching that subject, or at least related to it.

Wondering about the best way I can add a weekly newsletter built on top of the content currently being ingested, and still looking for more sources to add to the database (let me know if you have any good recommendations).

I'm building on an ad-free website with 50+ solitaire/puzzle games.

Gotten some feedback from HN already and now fixing things – basically rewriting the engine for the 4th time.

Hoping to add some hundred games more soon!

I'm working on a command-line tool for advanced full-text search of written documents. It works in a completely different way than grep, so it can do a lot of operations that grep fundamentally cannot like fuzzy searching and proximity searching. I needed something like this for my scientific research, and I'm glad that I have this capability now. I hope others find it useful too!

I called it Wosp for word-oriented search and print. See the GitHub page for more information: https://github.com/atrettel/wosp

Working on a memory layer for AI agents, a fun project and lots of interesting design choices I need to make.

I'm working on a meta framework for building "full-stack" libraries. I.e. libraries that bundle frontend hooks, backend routes, and a database schema into a single package.

This allows library authors to do more, like defining webhook handlers and (simple) database operations. The idea is to move complexity from the user to the author, making integrations easier.

I think libraries being allowed to write to your database is a pretty powerful concept, and can enable a number of interesting use cases.

I'm building a Typeform/Google Forms alternative that integrates into existing applications and stores data in your own database. It allows you to define forms in JSON Schema or JSON Forms. Forms can be added or removed dynamically, and submissions are sent to your backend and in turn stored in your database.

Built using our full-stack library toolkit Fragno [0].
