Wave (gowave.at), a simple landing page for local businesses. Rather than spinning up a fully functioning website, Wave will allow businesses to set up their own page, receive messages from customers, show services and allow services to be ordered.

After buying my own house here in the UK (scary that I own something worth a hell of a lot of money 😱) and meeting lots of local businesses like window cleaners, decorators, electricians, they say websites are expensive and never do the simple.

Wave is all about “send a wave 👋” simply.

Bruce

That's a nice idea and a great name, there must be a huge market for that.

Here is an idea in which you might expand those landing pages: Offering restaurants to easily upload there menu into the web, it's really useful for potential customers searching for one.

PS: Your domain is not resolving, is that intended?

@bcye Thanks Bruce! Great idea!! I've had similar suggestions from local businesses who sell fruit/veg and diary products so going to work on this.

Arcade Hub - My very first and simple project. I want to create an updatable collection of Apple Arcade games which allow you to choose the game by different filters and sort by the review scores. Apple interface is a bit messy in terms of choosing the right game. I'm planning to launch it this month.

In parallel, I write for my Telegram channel (almost reached 250 subscribers! 🎉) and trying to write more in my blog in English.

I'm building a website- StudentQ for students in education to post questions within subject areas for other students/teachers to answer. The idea came from feeling as though there's no one education-centred place for these kind of questions that arise from being stuck on homework/understanding a concept. It's currently centred on education in the UK but will be going international soon.

Still in quite an early stage at the moment, no active users, and open to ideas for future direction/features! Check it out if you want: StudentQ

TurnShift, whole-company support scheduling application.

This tool allows companies to easily distribute daily support slots across all their employees. The idea comes from my own experience as a support leader at algolia.com where 50 engineers were on support every month.

To schedule 50 engineers, we built an internal tool that was a scheduling web application with a Slack bot attached. Before the start of the month, you would get a Slack notification reminding you to book a support slot for next month. Then you could easily book the days you want and see who else booked support. You would then get various notifications reminding you of the start of your slot.

Discussing with other companies, it seems many tech companies are building their own small tools or using calendars to solve this need. Automaticc (WordPress) went very far with it and created https://happy.tools/.

The underlying need is: how do you share a recurring task automatically in your company. If you're still manually asking in Slack: "Who's doing support today?" "Who's sending the newsletter today?" then you'll like this tool!

TurnShift is an Algolia internal tool, rebuilt as a SAAS app.

Started recently with omnited.com (don't roast the "lp" yet :-) )

Problem to be solved by omnited… Imagine you work as Sales Guy or Help Desk Agent or even as a private person. On how much "channels" you get into conversations? Let's say…. Telegram, Twitter DM, Whatsapp, SMS, Phone Calls, Email…Webchat… etc.

Solution: Omnited handles a conversation with the same contact over different channels, so you must not search and switch over x channels to find out, where you talked with that person. Plus some other stuff… later on ;-)

https://MeetFriends.app an iOS app to easily create reminders for staying in touch with friends and your professional network. It makes mindful social relationships easier.

Goals:

  • Improve the product by adding some requested features
  • Fix all bugs in the backlog
  • Change the landing page to address some issues with people misunderstanding it as another social network
  • learn more about growth
  • figure out where I can find the two personas (people who care about mindfulness, people who are actively pursuing a professional network)

Will see how much I can get done while doing a vacation with my mother during a pandemic. 🤔

I'm doing my best to open Focus Nation in beta before march 22nd.

It's a virtual coworking space with always-open rooms where you share your webcam or your screen, with/without sound with people you know or don't. You enter the room, say hi, tell what you want to work on "today i'd like to finish my landing page and I give myself 1h". When you leave : "I was able to complete my task, have a great day".

On-demand productivity is the idea (you have a "focus playlist" and a pomodoro timer ready to use).

Slack/discord didn't work for me because people used it as a way to connect, chat, etc… which is not what I needed. I wanted to feel like in a coffee shop surrounded by people with goals. I needed to be productive wherever I am (I lived in Japan a few years and want to travel more and more with my 4yo), without the loneliness. I'm not a coder, I had to learn on the way. I wanted to explore Makerlog's API to send those tasks to Makerlog but that'll be for later!

This is the first time I leave a message here. Happy I found this community, thanks for building it @Sergio!
