I was bored with frontend coding and decided to make this calendar, where all numbers are hexadecimal and developer-friendly.

Hexadecimal Hacker's Calendar
2021 calendar for real hackers

A hexadecimal calendar for 2021. Year, months and dates are all in hexadecimal notation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal) while day numbers (Mon, Tue, ...) are binary.
Archive contains 4 colors schemes, landscape/portrait variants and the beginning of the week can be chosen as Monday or Sunday.

Government? I got a monthly subscription with my taxes.

4 weeks is probably a too short of a period. Of course it depends on the product. I had a product that got some traction only after 2 years. In this time I wasn't actively working on it, but when there was an opportunity to recommend/promote/improve it - I did. I can say the time was worth waiting.
As a developer, what do you do with faltering projects?

Hey! Here's one lousy attempt:
* "Links, meant to be shared!"
* "There are never enough bookmarks"
* "Bookmarks are a uniquely portable magic." -- Stephen King (well, almost)
I need to come up with a good slogan for my app.

Hey Makers! I was building a minimal casual chess app, and finally launched it: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/e4e5
if there are any chess players among you - what do you think? What do you think could be improved? Or maybe any ideas for further development? Any feedback and especially criticism is welcome :)
Share your product here to get support, feedback, users (w/c 1st of June)

e4e5 is a minimal, casual chess app. It is based on Stockfish, a strong, powerful chess engine, compiled to webassembly. The UI is deliberately minimal and clear. The app works in offline mode and can be installed on iOS/Android as a progressive web app.

O!
Tiny and utterly useless ReactJS clone

A very small (<1KB) library to explain how React-like libraries work. Never meant to be used in any of the serious projects. But, hey, it has a JSX-like language and even Hooks! How cool is that? It's really an exercise in minimalism, and nothing more.

I made this to quickly visualize my ideas. It helps when you work remotely and need to explain something complex during the voice call - sharing a link to the board and quickly sketching the idea or a mindmap helps a lot. I also use it for brainstorming, making quick notes and simple diagrams.

Blank canvas for clear thinking

On The Same Page is the most minimal collaborative whiteboard to start sketching the ideas right away. An infinite canvas for free-hand drawing, limited only by your imagination. If you ever seen a whiteboard or a blackboard - you already know what to do!

Worth mentioning, that unlike Electron it only consumes ~5-10MB of RAM. As a downside, it uses good old MSHTML (aka IE8..IE11) on Windows.

Just a simple Tcl interpreter I've made some time ago over the weekend. Recently I used it in one of our embedded projects, and it worked good, so I'm sharing it with the community.
All code is in one file, with good test coverage, and every part of the interpreter can be easily rewritten or optimized (e.g. lexer, memory manager, lists handing, custom commands etc).

Hi hunters!
We created Slide to help developers and other people make their presentations quickly. It's not aimed at big serious talks, but more for lighting talks at local meetups or internal company meetings.
Plain text approach is how we tried to keep it simple yet flexible. Surprisingly on Android it feels even more natural than complex WYSIWYG interfaces.
Android version is for...
