During my 8 years of professional SWE career (mostly startups), I've never worked in a company that did not suffer data breach / was hacked. It was always dumb stuff like admin:admin or deploying vulnerable things and forgetting on them.

After last one, I was done, left my job and started building Recon Wave [0]. I want to build tooling that will monitor your infra for you and find vulnerable / misconfigured / forgotten things that can be easily exploited.

I believe that security is best applied in layers and we're building one of them. We can not protect you from everything, but we can protect you from shooting yourself in the leg.

Me & my co-founder decided to take a bit different approach from other attack surface management companies and we try to find patterns in the whole OSINT world (aka most misconfigurations, domain correlations and others). Among others, we scrapped most of DNS and now have pretty cool reverse DNS dataset [1].

I'm working on a project to help people find the best place for them to live or move to (USA right now). You can filter based on 50+ metrics, compare side by side, and just look up random facts about all US counties and states currently.

There are already zizillion projects (usually Nomad or simply Expat) - and NONE of them suggest moving to Slavery countries like US etc ;) So please - do you homework & don't be 'THE WEIRD' and help people - Freedom is the ONLY option & we HAVE TO support it.

Hi, many, many thanks!!! You are absolutely right, I need a prper QA person.

This is a one person band ATM. So it's not QA, its technical writing, it's marketing, dev ops, search for funding, design, you name it.

I am in conversations with a couple of professional folks I work with in the past to do proper QA.

Also, this is not a realesed product yet. I'm just working on it.

A native MacOS menu bar app that gives you a deep breathing reminder every hour: https://github.com/p44v9n/deepbreath/releases/tag/v0.0.4

Functional but a few small bugs to iron out, then want to get a nicer welcome screen up and submit to the Apple App Store. Would love any feedback!

Didn't try yet - however did you consider ppl are working / having meetings / etc - simply don't want to see anything on their screen they don't expect? What about proper notification & maybe 'blinking' icon in appropriate area? Setting could contain even sound and/or small menu appears similar to Battery status..

I'm working on https://www.ironcalc.com as a side project.

A spreadsheet engine with an open source permissive license. I have high hopes for it but I'm still in early stages of the project.

nice one.. few 'tests': - probably menu with save/export is still under development

- in FF when typing quickly - latest 'char' is not displayed, although 'sometimes' is there (and visible when hit <enter> ) ; in Safari behaves correctly; TorBrowser last 'char' not visible/nor there even after <enter>

- when speaking about <enter>ing data - I am used to moving by 'arrows' keys to right/down..

- when speaking about 'jumps' over the blocks - I didn't figure it out at all eg(Ctrl+arrow)

- why repetitive '€' formatting is not doing also unformatting?

- 123 menu is still 'active' after choosing some format (should disappear)

Well well.. classic DEVs - 'I am doing QA for myself..' or even worse: 'There is Jon' - another DEV who's checking after me.. Find proper QA - it's worth - ALWAYS.

I'm working on a to-do list and time management application that I prefer to keep secret for now. If anyone here is using an app like this, I would love to know what you would like to improve. And if you're not using an app like this, I would love to know why not?
promoterr · a year ago
Well, we can share, but wait - we decided to keep it as secret for now... Oh and not to be seen as rude - check CS50 @harvard uni - there's one exercise you can check.

Building an electric 1973 Ferrari Dino to compete in the battle of the builders at SEMA in November. Lots of fun electronics and software, as well as mechanical challenges to overcome.
