    Jig – a tool to define, compute and monitor metrics2021 · jigdev.com · ▲74

    Hi HN, 8 months ago, I posted “Ask HN: I built it nobody came, what now?” and got a ton of (not very optimistic) feedback [1]. I took away 3 things: 1. The message wasn’t properly targeted 2. The onboarding experience was terrible. 3. Someone posted some advice to find leads which actually worked, yeah! So here we are. 8 months later. I unfortunately didn’t have a lot of time to put in the tool itself. But I improved the website, improved the onboarding, and got a paying customer who seems to really like the software. So here it is in its current form. Let me know what you think would make…

    Lurnby, a tool for better learning, is now open source2022 · github.com · ▲162

    I've been working on Lurnby for 2 years. It's kind of like a mix of pocket + kindle + anki. It lets you => add add epubs, pdfs, and web articles to the app => highlight and add comments => tag and organize highlights => review them with a spaced repetition system Today I made the decision to open source the project. I'm passionate about helping other people learn to learn better and hope that this will allow a lot more innovation in the tool and the space. I'm very new to open source and development in general really, but looking forward to receiving the guidance of the community.

    597 days ago, I posted about the project our team was developing - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3183322 - here on HN, and today we're finally taking the wraps off what we've been working on since then. At it's core, what we've been building is an end-to-end solution for creating, storing, and working with structured content in a way that's accessible to anyone. You can check out an introduction - http://team.marquee.by/introducing-marquee/ and dig into the technical/philosophical details of our approach -…

    Update on my startup - very overdue.2011 · ▲13

    When I see what some HN members have done in a weekend on their projects, it makes it hard to confess that it has taken us 1 year to get to this stage. I kept trying to make things perfect, but finally I have seen the light - it will never be perfect and even in its current state, I see so much we need to improve, but it's something. Instead of delaying even more, I thought I would release it to the best critics out there - HN say hello to MyProperty.com Hope to hear your feedback, criticism, thoughts.

    Bx - Slick invoicing, expenses, time tracking & projects2017 · ▲13

    Hi HN! After a few months of developing a product on the side, I've decided to post it to HN. I'll be honest, I am a bit nervous about it as I know how discerning the audience here can be, but I guess constructive criticism can't be a bad thing! My project is a progressive web app called Bx (pronounced "Books"). It's a tool to help you run your business and includes: > Invoicing and payments (via stripe) > Expenses > Time tracking > Project management > Inventory management > Slick, interactive dashboards It's nothing new or radical, but many of the existing tools I tried in my own business…
