You Can't Keep Giving Away What You Were Given to Earn From - At Some Point, “Thank You” Isn't Enough

·1 views

This might sound like a write-up to moan, but honestly, I don't think it is. It is something I have come to realise, and I think a lot of developers, designers, and people with valuable skills eventually come to the same realisation. For most of us, we have always wanted to sit in front of our computers and build things. We wanted to design, develop, experiment, break things, fix them, and start another fun project the moment we finished the last one. We also wanted to help.

Polymarket Trading Bot: I Overengineered My Polymarket Sniper — Then Cut It Down to One Entry Strategy

Touch Grass, a website that Touch Grass, a website that runs an open-weight model on your phone to get you outside

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass What I Built Tap 📍 Use my location. You get the best 2-hour window before sunset (scored from the hourly forecast), real parks, gardens, trails and viewpoints nearby on a map, and a short plan with a mini mission ("spot a crow and three kinds of leaves"). It's for anyone who opens their phone "for a minute" and looks up two hours later. The screen part takes about a minute. The rest happens outside.
