Ask HN: What can I build for you?

  • Hello! Thank you so much for your kind offer. I am trying to solve a problem I am experiencing at work (in the restaurant industry). Essentially I need a simple solution that 1. allows for stakeholders (in our case managers/chefs) to place a request for a service such as a broken cabinet or a broken fridge 2. I would then like that service request to get pushed out to a pool of vendors that we've vetted to be able to perform x niche service via a simple Trello like system. There are obviously other logistics such as paying the vendor after etc and on-going booking management but I can't seem to understand why such a product doesn't exist. I've seen things like ShareTribe and Launch27 but nothing that is as simple as this. I almost envision an intake form sheet --> pumped into Trello --> alert pool of people if a card hits within a certain list --> allow the person interested to claim and complete the job --> payment issued.

    Many of the options out there overcomplicate this. Think Handy.com but much less intense.

  • May I suggest at least open source or even some YouTube video telling how to do basic example of using note.

    A Turn based card game one Would be good as most are only 2p. The Clojure thinking YouTube video I learnt from this side have used a 2p javascript (yes javascript not clojure) to demo 3 ways of programming (p, o and f). I am trying to spare some time to convert it to clojure and python as server playable game. Just for learning. If you can help and put a git hub or even a YouTube on this, it would be most grateful.

  • Alibaba clone, most small countries don't have anything like alibaba. Yea I know it's a global but mostly Chinese owned platform.

    I'd personally like such B2B platform to be more available to people like Discourse the forum software is.

  • A command line based countdown timer gui

    (yes, I can slap together something that works, but it's ugly)

    COMMAND: countdown_timer <number> <measure of time>

    ~ countdown_timer 60 m

    ... and a 60 minute timer pops up and counts down. Maybe turns red and flashes 00:00 when done?

    Has sensible defaults (and pref file) and tucks away in a corner always on top. 7 segment LED fonts are awesome.

    All the timers I can find and gui monstrosities with hella parameters and button measles.

  • I have cells in a notebook on Google Colab that I need to run at a given time every day. To do that, I open a web browser and surf to Google Colab and start the cells by clicking the run button on the respective cells. I need a script to automate that process that I can invoke from the command line.

  • An app to scrape reddit subs for stock sentiment allowing users to trade on the retail market sentiment or avoid pump and dumps.
