I'm making makerlog meet up in India in real life 🇮🇳Makerlog India Meetup - https://getmakerlog.com/events/makerlog-india-meetup/
@fajarsiddiq Hey Thanks! but I'm based out of Bangalore, not sure if ill be traveling to HYD any time soon, will hit you up if I find myself there for sure
You did it just in time because I read you are starting battle with coronavirus.🤷♂️
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.
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?
Career Cards
Flashcards to help you crush it at your next job interview.
Also taking better name suggestions :)
Working on a lot of things: https://www.krazier.com/ but focusing on rebuilding https://selldom.io from the ground up at the moment and also growing my house painting business.
I've watched your journey building Wild Fox and it is absolutely awesome.
CastSpot, a platform designed to help Podcasters crossfeature on each other's shows.
🗃️ CodeKeep - Google Keep but for code snippets.
Organize your Code Snippets by assigning 🔖labels or grouping into folders. Generate Code Screenshots, Share and Discover reusable snippets.
🚀 #codekeep ✅ Checkout: https://codekeep.io
@sergio With codekeep you can tag snippets by project name/ use case, also snippets can be organised into folders for easier access, which gists doesn't have. and with codekeep extension, you can import snippets from stackoverflow/medium etc.. There are other features like integration with vscode and one click code-screenshot generation.

I'm trying to write consistently on my new blogs teedrop.co and makeandgraft.com.
I'm also finishing off my first two Ghost themes which I hope will be on sale in March or April.
My third project is exploring and researching all the essential backend stuff for a clothing (t-shirts first) company for a potential launch later in the year.
[Update on my March post]
✔ Published 1 post to Make & Graft (and started ~10 drafts)
✔ Published 9 posts to Tee Drop
✔ Did some research for my t-shirt company but putting this project on hold for now.
ⓧ Did not finish my Ghost themes but one is almost ready! (already in use on Tee Drop)
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.
Currently launching my first productized service. Unlimited Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat Filters for a flat month price. https://flamingofilter.co
The goal is to help agencies to create and integrate augmented reality filters inside their panel of digital marketing tools. We are like web integrator but for augmented reality into social medias.

Hey!! I am building www.zelf.co with a wonderful team.
We are on the last mile before the launch and preparing for PH (in 2 weeks or so)! Really would like to hear your thoughts about the project.
Whoa, looks cool. What's the use case? Will this be like a Venmo or CashApp for Europe?
I'm building a website analytics & uptime monitoring tool 📈
👷 Working on launching a beta version soon
🚚 Attlaz Route Planner Android and iOS app
🗺 Attlaz API for Directions and Route Optimization (TSP, VRP and CVRP)
And some side projects:
✏️ Keeper - Note taking app for Android
💬 typr. - Chat-like note taking app for Android
And i'm searching for another side project idea to keep my one app/month goal. There are many concepts I want to try both Android and iOS.
I'm building Divjoy, a React codebase and UI generator. It gives you everything you need like authentication, database, analytics, serverless functions, and a fully functioning UI. It's helped over 8,000 people start their next React project.
Here's a 50% off deal for the Makerlog community: https://divjoy.com/?promo=makerlog
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
Any feedback welcomed!
I am working on my upcoming book Efficient developer (https://efficientdeveloper.com/). It is a slow progress. I am also looking for some beta readers if anyone is interested https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1a_tPmbiAvoHvR1rpHK2WuDgFwCfc2kYdyjCr8pj11AE/edit.
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.
I'm making Android apps with Kotlin. Right now I'm working on a postpartum tracking app for one of my friends that just had a baby.
Entrylevel.io - Job board for entry-level positions targeting students, recent grads, career changers, and individuals with less than 3 years of experience. We want to help people land their first job.
Recently launched our beta and hopefully, in 3 weeks, we launch MVP!! 🚀
I'm building QuickTake, a pre-screening app that can determine if a candidate is familiar with one of the major programming languages in under 10 minutes. It's tough to get a feel for someone with just a resume and a quick phone call. QuickTake is designed to help you get a better feel for a candidate before proceeding with an interview.
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 ;-)
I am working on launching skill building groups as a side project — chats in Slack where people from tech space can work together and support each other in building the same habit or skill. I am trying to collect the first 100 leads in the waitlist now and launch chats in two weeks or so.
If you are interested, fill in this 3 min form, pick habits from the list and I will invite you to the group for the habit, that you are interested in: https://evgenynikiforov0.typeform.com/to/v2TzIs.

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. 🤔

Goal & Habit tracking app.
https://goalmap.life
It took me about 60 hours to build and just released as a beta version a few days ago . Right now, continuously improving based on user feedbacks.
This looks great! I am thinking about making something similar. The closest to what I was imagining was the Remente app. I love the clean UI, and the prompt to add a photo to the goal. How are you getting user feedback, by the way? I don't see an obvious way to do it. Other than Makerlog :)

Social network to crowdsource teaching. I believe everyone can teach something in 5 minutes or less. Collectively we can build enough material to make any sort of education free.
Any sort of feedback is appreciated. :)
Thank you
Working on finishing up an update for the hyper-local social network I've been working on, Clava. We provide users with location-based chatrooms that are pinned on our map, which allows you to connect with others in that specific location. Users will also collect "real-time" promotions from local businesses in their surrounding area these promotions can be discounts, happy hours and more.
I'm currently looking for users to test this product out, you can sign up on our website: www.Clava.xyz!

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!
A lot of time was saved because of no commute this week. So I built a India Covid19 tracker using official data from ministry of health and family welfare. https://coronavirustrack.now.sh/India
