In plain words

#buildinpublic is a web app that aggregates tweets tagged with #buildinpublic, displaying them in a single feed. It serves makers and developers who want to follow others' project progress and share their own work-in-progress updates.

The home for people building in public. Browse the #buildinpublic directory, find the builders near you, and claim your own profile.

One directory of everyone shipping in the open. Search by name, by what someone is working on, or by where they build from. The best ideas don't happen in isolation. They thrive in the open, strengthened by collaboration, refined through feedback, and accelerated by momentum. For years this community has shown up for each other: shipping in public, celebrating the wins, carrying each other through the slumps. This is a permanent place for that, one that can't be switched off by a single product decision on someone else's platform. If you've ever posted to the community, ever learned from someone here, ever rooted for a stranger's launch, this is your home too. Prompt, run, edit, and deploy…from buildinpublic.com

  Talanoa▲341

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Imba – I have spent 7 years creating a programming language for the web▲1,216

  Hey all My name is Sindre, and I am the CTO of Scrimba (YC S20). For the last 7 years, I have written all my web apps in a full-stack programming language called Imba. It compiles to JavaScript and its main goal is to make web developers more productive. I just launched a major overhaul of Imba, so I wanted to share it here on HN, in case anyone are interested in learning more about it. It is very opinionated, so some of you might not like it, but I would love to hear anyones feedback regardless. Constructive criticism appreciated! The backstory: Imba initially started in 2012 as an effort…

  We built an end-to-end encrypted alternative to Google Photos▲1,180

  Hello HN, Over the last year we've been building ente[1], a privacy-friendly, easy-to-use alternative to Google Photos. We've so far built Android[2][3], iOS[4], web[5] apps that encrypt your files and back them up in the background. You can access these across your devices, and share them with other ente users, end-to-end encrypted. You can also use our electron app[6] to maintain a local copy of your backed up files. We've built a fault-tolerant data replication layer that replicates your data to two different storage providers in the EU. We will be providing additional replicas as an…
