Store Locator Tool

Hey folks, I've been reflecting a lot on how modern life makes it hard to form real, value-aligned friendships – work, distance, anxiety etc. As a solo builder, I wanted to experiment with something practical: Created Unity Gate, a small HealthTech app that helps people discover digital/physical "Interest Rooms" (books, music, chess, deep talks) and meet others with similar values in a moderated, safe environment. There's also an AI Coach for 24/7 ethical guidance – not therapy, just thoughtful prompts to practice social scenarios or reflect on interactions (Unity Compass gibi). Built it from scratch in Flutter, with zero budget. It's early days, but the core ...

I’ve been working on startups and AI related projects for about four years now, and to tell you guys the truth, I’ve worked on *so many* projects so many that GoDaddy actually reminded me when I saw the number of domain names I own. It’s ridiculous. I went from building an app for entrepreneurs to working on kitchen related products, and every time I would work extremely hard on them, use AI tools to build projects, spend my own money, stay focused, and do everything those YouTubers tell us to do. And yet, I never published any of my work, not a single one because I’ve been scared of rejection since I was a child. Long story short: when I was a kid, one of my friends stole a phone ...

Hello. I’d like honest feedback from business owners on an idea. This is not advertising, but a way to check whether the model makes sense. The idea is a service that aggregates up-to-date product catalogs (name, price, availability) from independent stores within a region. Unlike large marketplaces, which keep this data closed, there is currently no neutral service that provides structured, current catalogs of independent shops. Stores would share their catalogs and receive a free additional distribution channel. The platform would aggregate this data and make it available to third parties (developers or services) under strict contracts, enabling price comparison tools, local marketplac...

My earlier post might not have been clear about the point of the mod, and thats my bad. I was attempting to demonstrate one aspect of the mod - complete customisation of not just the player, not just the origins, but everyone in the game. Rather than let myself be pulled into the muck, if you bring up politics Ill just block you. If you have questions or comments about the mod, by all means ask away :) --- For those of you who are interested in the update of my tool, "Any Way You Want It", Ive done a detailed breakdown of the current features and how the whole tool works. The tool will enable you to play and replay cutscenes, give you full control over dialog outcomes, transform ...

Introduction to the Four Key Corrections In ancient and medieval Indian astronomy, the accurate determination of time formed the cornerstone of both scientific inquiry and religious practice. Astronomers developed a highly refined system of corrections to reconcile theoretical calculations with observable reality, ensuring precision in predicting celestial events such as sunrise, planetary positions, eclipses, and auspicious moments for rituals. Among these, four key time adjustments—Deśāntara, Cara, Bhujāntara, and Udayāntara—addressed distinct sources of discrepancy between mean and apparent solar time. Deśāntara compensated for longitudinal differences across the Earth’s sur...

Alright, MaximizeMe crew! Been lurking and learning here for a while, and finally feel like I've got something solid enough to share that *isn't* just rehashing the same old stuff. You know how we're all on the hunt for those gems, right? The deals that make you do a double-take and wonder if the cashier accidentally hit the wrong button? Well, I stumbled onto something that's been quietly printing money for me, and it’s all about **Target clearance**. Hear me out. Most people see "clearance" and think "meh, maybe 30% off if I'm lucky." But I'm talking about digging *deep*. Like, **95% off deep**. It sounds almost impossible, doesn't ...

What I mean by this is, would it be more fitting for this story to be called the "The Red Ghost Tunnel" or simply "James"? The story is about a Railway Engineer that's involved in two accidents, the first being head-on, and the second involving FIVE tar wagons. Obviously they'll associate his name with the Thomas character, but it's more than just that... James Jeffrey Wilson was born on August 10, 1995 in St Joseph Missouri USA. He is the protagonist in the story, a Railway Engineer surviving two serious collisions, but then dies under mysterious circumstances. Jesse James was a criminal in his 30s, who was murdered on April 3, 1882 in no city but ...

**Hello everyone, and all full respect to you Japanese citizens - please feel free to add to my information if you feel like it.** I just returned from a Takanaka vinyl hunting trip which was also me any my girlfriends proposal trip but that another story for another time. I wanted to do this post as a laidback guide from a japan visitor on what to expect at different stores and locations in Japan regarding both re-releases and vintage Takanaka records - I visited several cities from Osaka, Yokohama, Tokyo to Kyoto and I visited over 28 record stores... ***Firstly just to be bold as of the beginning of January - almost no big chain shops - HMV, Tower Records or Disk Union have stock of the...

Hey everyone, I’m a developer. I built a tool called **Flaresat**. While ATAK is the gold standard, I saw a need for a lightweight, zero-install alternative for when you need to get people on a map instantly without configuring a server or installing APKs. Also the experience for Tak on IOS is not the best. For now this is a web tool, I am working on getting the app approved for App Store and Google Store. **What it does:** * Real-time location tracking for the group. * Collaborative drawing (Routes, Areas/Polygons, Waypoints). * Markers support descriptions, custom colors, and icons. * Invite Code system. Supports "Public" links for readonly/spectator views (good for TOC/B...

You know the pattern. You launch a retargeting campaign. It performs beautifully for three weeks. Then the CPA creeps up. The frequency metric spikes. The conversion rate drops. Your marketing team calls it "creative fatigue." They suggest refreshing the banners, changing the copy, or expanding the audience lookalike percentage. You spend money on new assets. You reset the campaign. The results improve slightly, then tank again. I have audited dozens of ad accounts for founders facing this exact headache. In 80% of cases, the problem is not the ad creative. The problem is that your marketing engine is completely disconnected from your inventory reality. You are showing ads to pe...

Hey everyone, I’m a hiker and developer. I built a tool called **Flaresat** to solve the problem of losing track of friends on the trail and coordinating meeting points. **What it does:** * **Live Tracking:** Shows your group's location in real-time on a shared map. * **Tactical Tools:** Ability to draw Routes, Areas, and drop Pins. * **Detail:** You can give markers a description, custom color, and specific icons. * **Comms:** Built-in Chat. * **Group Management:** Leader creates a group and shares an Invite Code. You can also make the group Public (view-only) for observers (like family at home). * **Privacy:** You can hide your location from the group in settings. How it...

Hey everyone, I’m a hiker and developer (not an airsoft player), but while building a GPS tracking tool for my hiking needs, I realized it solves a big problem in airsoft: losing track of your teammates, marking areas, routes, and meeting points. I built **Flaresat**. It’s a live map for your squad. **How it works:** It is **web-based**. For now, I am testing an iOS app internally, but the web version works **right now** on PC, Android, and iOS browsers. No installs required for your teammates, just a link. **What it does:** * **Live Tracking:** Shows your team's location in real-time on a shared map. * **Tactical Tools:** Ability to draw Routes, Areas, and drop Pins. * ...

Other than international messaging for relatives, my only take is that WhatsApp feels more “personal” and “private” as if you’re there in the family homes. I’m not sure how’s that any different compare to Google messages or iMessages when breaking the blue and green bubbles barrier. All my family have iPhone but we are transitioning to WhatsApp to feel more connected. People are less aware vs being aware on social media, but yes WhatsApp sort of takes metadata BUT ONLY they know when you send and whom you send the message to, and the location. Meta CANT see what you wrote it’s all a symbol of things if they try to view. how. Honestly, messaging apps should strictly be u...

I built **Zonfig** after getting frustrated with config sprawl across env vars, `.env` files, JSON/YAML configs, and secret managers. The idea is simple: define **one Zod schema** and use it as the single source of truth for your app’s configuration. It gives you: * Full type safety (TypeScript inference from Zod) * Startup validation with clear errors * Config loading from env vars, files, and secret stores * **Encrypted config values**, so sensitive data can safely live in source control (e.g. GitHub) * CLI tooling It’s been working well for my own projects, so I figured I’d share it and get feedback.

Hi all, I'm asking for advice. I got a nuclear family that needs some work around implementing boundaries and corrective action. The children are able to mostly do as they please and the parents are struggling to manage. They leave rubbish wherever they like, do not follow a lot of the things asked of them - ie put washing in washing basket. It's also worth mentioning one child has SEND and struggles to store information long term. I am young and have no children so I have no experience in this area. It feels more difficult in that these behaviors are already there, I have been implementing some MI to little effect. One, I don't know how to correct a child's behavio...

I bought something on e-bay costs 380ish euros. Shipped from USA to me in the Netherlands. Seems like the seller declared value way too high so I got a notification on tracking page that shipment is due 2200 euros invoerrechten and to click there to pay. Contacted dhl customs via phone, explained this cant be right and what can i do. They said to send an e-mail to dhl duty payments email with proof of purchase and request for re-calculation. In the meantime this package was scheduled for delivery last tuesday, 13-1, but i rescheduled it because i wasnt home and because the situation was a little bit confusing. At that moment i chose delivery on friday 16-1, which is tomorrow. I sti...
