A privacy-first personal finance stack, with free and SaaS versions, with "power user" developer-friendly data analysis.
No ads, no data sale, E2E encryption, localhost option, basic budgetting and transaction parsing, but for power users allows spinning up a jupyter notebook to play with your financial data.
Access to fine-grained, well-classified financial data costs money. The localhost option provides a way for you to integrate with providers of said data, e.g., using their "developer" api keys. As long as they support free personal use and you stay in their limits, the localhost option incurs no cost to you, and we have no reason (and no way!) to charge anything if you `git pull` and set up these integrations using our readme.md.
All storage will be encrypted w/ client side keys.
For SaaS, we do the integration automatically and pass hosting and fintech costs on as a monthly subscription. We provide automatic report options that also incur small charges, mostly to cover additional compute, hosting, and higher-tier integration with data providers. These reports can use transient data and/or pass encrypted payloads to client side report generation or display, e.g., SPA or CLI tools.
A manufacturing focused ERP system using SvelteKit and SQL Server. These systems are typically made with Java and it's becoming clear to me that it's massive overkill when SQL Server is (or can be) doing most of the work and the application is (or can be) a thin layer between the user and the database. Using only one language, with perfectly matched types and validation schemas for both frontend and backend is a huge productivity win. Some may sneer at JS but my product running on Node is snappier than the competition and I think I can develop quality features with good UX faster P4P (only a 2 man team).
Interesting. I am also working in similar space. Lot of niche ideas that would be sustainable SaaS products but industry is sales driven and requires industry connections.
I'd be interested to know further on your offering
Trying to keep it "realistic" in the sense of how the structures are set up (bank reporting regulations, offshore companies, shell companies etc) but I'm optimizing for fun. It's an isometric Transport Tycoon-styled game but instead of building physical infrastructure you create financial connections between nodes like drug op -> cash business -> bank -> offshore company -> real estate investment.
This is actually a really cool idea. I work in the fintech industry and a simulator where we (employees sitting through boring compliance training presentations) could play as money-launderers and attempt to launder cash through the various schemes like layering etc would be a fucking awesome learning experience. I think you'd have a ready market there.
An open-source, type-safe http client to your postgresql database. It let's you access your database directly from your react components. It's fast, safe and performant. Think Graphql but you don't need to implement resolvers, it's all generated from your database schema.
If this sounds interesting to you, ping me (email on my profile) :)
What I would actually like to have is a generic PostgREST, sitting on top of sqlalchemy or something like that so that I can start on sqlite or DuckDB and then swap out the RDBMs if needed.
It's uptime monitoring (and status pages) for software teams.
In my words, the aim is "monitoring that doesn't suck" - I've worked at companies with proactive monitoring like OnlineOrNot before, and was surprised how little the incumbents are innovating in the space. One customer once told me "f*k <vendor>, all their system ever did was alert us when we weren't down".
I'm currently working on a self-documenting (OpenAPI, rolled it myself: https://developers.onlineornot.com/) API that'll let folks use terraform (or even just the API itself) to setup their uptime checks, cron job monitoring, status pages, even their teams.
This is a super simple IT problem to solve technically (ping a URL, provide a status HTML page, etc.) but really hard to get right, like your customer comment about a vendor. If done wrong, people will go to their "you had one job" card. How do you handle hosting of your own service and isolation from larger "cloud" or internet issues?
I replicate the service across several AWS regions, and Cloudflare Workers.
At the moment, it's really good at answering "am I down everywhere?", since I can just double check in several other regions.
I recently taught it to answer "Am I down just in this region?" by monitoring across cloud providers in the same location, though it's more of a niche use case (for the people I chat to, anyway)
Video Hub App - shows many screenshots per video of all videos from a directory as a pretty gallery. Thumbnails you can scrub through, filmstrips you can scroll through; tons of filters and search options.
I’m building a crawler for remote job postings. As well as a daily email that emails the latest remote jobs found in the past 24 hours to people who sign up: https://bloomberry.com/remote-jobs/
So far, there’s more than 1500 subscribers after a month and a half
I had a similar idea of scraping lever, greenhouse and linkedin to get informed of absolute latest senior software engineer jobs. I also wanted to correlate to past job posts to rule out duplicates/reposts, and to analyze against what I am looking for. Some jobs rule out certain states and timezones. Other jobs are primarily java which is my only hard-no.
Also, I thoroughly enjoyed your article -- How AI is disrupting the demand for software engineers: data from 20M job postings (https://bloomberry.com/how-ai-is-disrupting-the-tech-job-mar...). I've subscribed to your newsletter as well. Keep up the great work!
Would be cool if you could add user-specific filters somehow (via email?), since, looking at the previews it seems largely US-specific. I’d like to see EU/global remote jobs.
I'm working on https://quickchart.io/, a web API for generating chart images. I've expanded it to a WYSIWYG chart editor at https://quickchart.io/chart-maker/, which lets you create an endpoint that you can use to generate variations of custom charts. This is useful for creating charts quickly, or using them in places that don't support dynamic charting (email, SMS, various app plugins, etc).
I messed around with some AI features, mostly just for fun and to see if they could help users onboard. But the core product is decidedly not AI.
I'm working on Rolepad (https://rolepad.com), a tool that brings together candidates (job application management) and hiring managers / recruiters (better candidate experience). The candidate side is pretty decent at this point, working on the employer side now. The first capability this will unlock is keeping the status of the application in sync between the two, for greater transparency and hopefully reduced ghosting. I'm sure I'll eventually start sprinkling some AI in the app, but for now it's much more important to get basic functionality, user experience, and market fit right.
I'm personally working on a specialized system monitor software to address deficiencies with a popular enterprise IWMS. It is aimed at companies that do not want to splurge for Splunk and require some specific system admin controls and metrics. There is a forwarder and backend API which will be completely self-hosted. I'm using this project to build some expertise in Go :)
I am working on bootstrapping the trust chain (kinda "web of trust"), if you run an org (company,team,meetup,github repo...etc) email me if you're interested in a cert.
I've been working on and off on several smallish apps I use in the kitchen, purely non-commercial.
I shared https://teig.pro a few months ago and it's made substantial improvements since then. It's a recipe builder that recalculates masses on-the-fly and supports adding/editing ingredients -- especially focused on breads. Unfortunately Fly.io seems to have flagged the project and is preventing me from deploying updates without upgrading my account (which is already paid). There are quite a few bugfixes which will be rolled out once that issue gets resolved, or I change hosting.
I also made https://pepcorn.pro quite a bit longer in a similar spirit, but much simpler. It uses your device's microphone to detect popcorn "pop"s, and measures the time between them -- done popcorn usually has ~5 seconds between pops.
I'm working on a "low code" web app that helps developers build web apps (not marketing or blogs or e-commerce sites). Create your data models in the app and get an API, a database (or connect your own), and a Next.js app with all of the scaffolding, models, forms, validation, API calls, policies, access and authorization, etc. ready for you to use and customize.

If there is a link to sign up for a mailing list I'd be happy to be notified
I'd be really interested in something like this.

Can you say more about this? Do you mean using stored procedures heavily or something else?
This has been my design bible so far https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/money-la...

Right now I'm shopping for a tool like this, tried all of these. Can I try yours?
