In my evenings and weekends I've been working on a photo sharing app for families who want to keep their photos off of social media but still share with family.
I'm expecting my first child soon so I am building it for me and my family first but if it solves a problem for me, maybe others will like it!
The basic idea is that you are uploading a curated set of photos you want to share, not your whole camera roll.
You can create one or several family groups that you can share individual photos or albums to. Members of those family groups can view, comment on, like, etc those photos.
You can also generate sharable links for people who don't have an account with a configurable expiry time.
It currently more or less works on the web but I am also working on iOS and Android apps since that is how my extended family would want to interact with it.
I'm not quite ready to launch it to the public but if anybody is interested in trying it out or offering feedback I can privately share it :)
Nice. I store my photos on Dropbox and now duplicated locally on a home NAS. They don't have a photograph based product like Google memories, which I really like. I've been de googling and looking to reproduce it.
I've been noodling with running a preprocessing step to "tag" pictures and videos with a set of tags with richer spatial and temporal features with off the shelf models and then just let a local AI model pick one based one what might match today's theme.
Are you using any models to make your curation step easier/better UX wise? e.g." Compose all Christmas pictures with Grandma and the kids on vacation" and it would give you a collection to curate from my library
One of my priorities is end user privacy so I'm trying to minimize how much access my service would have to the users library of photos.
Rather than me scan all of the photos I'd prefer the user manually select them. Plus, you get the bonus feature of also getting to review your own photos again :) I find a lot of the time I never go back and look at photos I take. I'm trying to evoke feelings of printing photos and putting them in an album. Digital is no substitute for physical, but if I can get close I'll take it haha
I am considering some ease of use features like library scanning / tagging maybe on an opt-in basis perhaps.
I'm interested in this as well. IMO any vehicle that uses a touchscreen for more than configuration when parked is dangerous and should not be on the road.
I'm not ready to show it off yet, but I'm working on a workout and nutrition tracking service.
No other tool or service out there matches the feature set I want so I decided I'd just build it.
My goal for workout tracking is mostly to make it crazy simple and super fast. As close to 0 barrier between you and your tracking. I want PRs to be more than just "moved a bigger amount of weight". I think volume PRs from rep records, etc are also important.
For nutrition tracking, I want the ability to save some commonly used foods to my local storage to make it faster.
I want discoverable meal planning. The plan is to basically let the user pick a protein, then a cooking style, which expands into different recipes and then side dishes to fit the remaining macros of a given individuals macro goals.
For calorie tracking, I think its important to display that weight change isnt a day by day thing. You need to look at the caloric deficit or surplus for the week or the month vs weight change to see how you are doing. Most other trackers just give you feedback day by day which doesn't really represent reality. They also don't automatically adjust your TDEE over time with weight change.
Not sure if anybody will pay for it, but I want it so I'm going to build it :)
A few years back I built a tool that pulled your data from MyFitnessPal and calculated a running TDEE for you, so that it was easy to adjust week to week. It was very useful to me and I managed to get somewhere in the range of 100 active users before I ended up moving on to other projects.
I say that to say good luck, I think your app will be useful!
This is something I'm super interested in and have been working on building something for some time.
I work out a lot and dabble in powerlifting / bodybuilding so I try to track my diet and workouts pretty closely. I haven't found any single app / tool that does everything I want it to.
I struggle with meal variety, shopping lists, and making sure N meals fit xyz macros.
I'm working on a tool where you can basically start from a super basic meal plan / grocery list and then expand the meal variety over time.
I'm also working on various methods of workout / goal tracking.
It's pretty far off from something I can release, even in MVP form, but if anybody is interested feel free to shoot me an email and I can add you to my list of potential early access / testers.
I work best and am most motivated when I am well rested. When I get very tired I find myself feeling almost depressed and am unmotivated to do anything.
I'm in the same boat. I'd love to be done with windows but since I spend a large amount of my free time playing games with friends I need to be on windows.
Despite the problems and shortcomings, I'm actually pretty impressed with how well Valve has managed to make Linux gaming work over the past decade. Of course, a lot of credit is also due to other contributors to the WINE project, but Valve used Steam to create a targetable set of dependencies for native games in addition to their WINE contributions. I'm frankly a bit amazed that they solved that part of the problem. And a bit disappointed in the people blaming them for not somehow solving the GPU problem by continuing to push Steam Machines no one was buying anyway.
For me, the gaming situation on Linux has become tolerable enough that, in comparison to Microsoft's Windows 10 bullshit, it is no longer a barrier. However there are several other barriers that are unlikely to be dealt with any time soon.

I have several years of experience working with both Frontend and Backend technologies.
I am currently most interested in Fullstack development, I quite enjoy designing the APIs my UI will interact with.
I've built, deployed, and supported many complex solutions on teams of various sizes ranging from just me to a dozen or more.
I'm expecting my first child soon so I am building it for me and my family first but if it solves a problem for me, maybe others will like it!
