What it does

Star Chart turns chores and daily routines into a game kids actually want to play. Children earn stars for brushing their teeth, finishing homework, tidying up, and other real-life tasks, then use those stars to unlock and customize 3D pets, avatars, and worlds. Parents create the tasks and approve every reward. Unlike most chore apps, Star Chart is completely free, with no ads, subscriptions, loot boxes, or pay-to-win mechanics.

100% free chore app for kids that turns routines into a game: kids earn stars and unlock 3D pets, parents approve every reward. No ads, no loot boxes.

Kids finish chores, earn stars, and unlock adorable 3D pets and rewards. Parents set the tasks, prices and approvals, so the app does the nagging, and you get the hugs. Star Chart runs free in any browser and installs straight to your home screen like a native app. Set up your first child, pick a buddy pet, and add starter quests in a few taps. Install tip: open the app in your phone's browser Share Add to Home Screen . It opens like an app from then on. Every child creates their own 3D character before their first chore. Tap the options and watch the buddy change. This is a tiny preview of the customization kids get in the app. In the full app there's way more: 16 part groups, skin tones,…from starchartkids.com

    I replaced a $120k bowling center system with $1,600 in ESP32s▲2,935

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)▲1,033

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer▲937

    A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

  • OpenSEO▲928

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
