   So cool! Got any photos of your build? I did something similar... I made a musical automatic Hanukkah Menorah using an Arduino (Seeeduino XIAO SAMD21), MDF, birch veneer, melamine edge banding, a GPS module, tiny speaker, LED strip, and a C

   I’m building novel GPS-enabled digital clocks, mostly for myself and family, but I also plan to sell a few on Etsy. These never need setting or configuration since they grab time/date/location data from the satellites. My first de

   I’d form an online vigilante group like Perverted-Justice, but focused on disrupting the operations of financial scammers who prey on people who are gullible, technologically unsophisticated, or demented.

   Frivolous meetings all day and the expectation that I’d do my dev work after hours, just like my boss and his boss. Then when the team started getting behind on tasks, the solution of course was… wait for it… More meetings!

    I made this Chrome extension to ensure I test EVERYTHING before I deploy to Production. With insightful reporting, it's perfect for anyone who'd like to monitor their in-house or outsourced test team, and help the team see which p

    They don’t have to take any effort. I have a soon-to-launch side project that automatically turns Facebook business page posts into monthly newsletters. I could use a few beta testers. DM @WhidbeyHacker and I’ll add you to the list.

    Not quite what I had in mind. I'd like to have the entire snack available in audio form (yes this is my little upvote for the 5-minute digest!). I wouldn't want tiny snippets of audio if I'm already reading.

    Thanks! The problem is that your playgrounds, and https://www.podsnacks.org/ , and the restaurant notifier https://try-something-new.web.app/ got submitted today and I find them all really appealing.

    I made Headlamp because I was tired of missing obvious bugs in my web apps. The solution I came up with is a Chrome Extension that tracks my actions while I test and marks the UI elements that I haven't touched. Turns out that it'

    I’ve been hesitating to publicize my project because there’s always something more I can add, or a bug to fix. I think things like: If I do a “Show HN” post, will I get too many users at the same time? Is there a better way to quietly get t

    Thanks for the feedback. I don’t know what to do about pricing, only that I’m leaning towards a freemium model where hobbyists and occasional users pay nothing. It is a cloud-based service with ongoing costs to pay and work to be done, so I
