Hacker News Popularity Contest

HN Observer

HN Observer is a tool I’m working on to predict the outcome of submissions to Hacker News based on past historical data.

AirGradient

AirGradient is an open-source air quality monitor that I was initially excited about but have felt frustrated actually using. I’m trying to improve the software side.

PicoShare

PicoShare is a minimalist web-based file sharing tool I’m working on. I’m often frustrated that I can’t just send someone a link directly to a file because every file-sharing service tries to re-encode images/video or wrap their own viewer around other files, so I’m making a simple self-hostable tool that lets you upload files and share them with other people.

Gleam Chat Log Parser

A toy project to teach myself Gleam. I’m trying to write parsers for my old AIM chat logs.
