norsak··on Show HN: GPT-3-based cocktail recipe generation app
This weekend I had a 24-hour hackathon on Twitter and built BoozyBlend

Basically, I wanted a cocktail with the ingredients at home and came up with the idea to build an AI bartender that could give you suggestions on what cocktail to make based on your preferences.

I'm using GPT-3 to generate cocktail recipes and cocktail names. Let me know what cocktails you get!

What if we could make marketing more like a game?

Imagine being rewarded for your creativity and hard work.

norsak··on I built an app that generates printable habit trackers for your daily routines
I like writing my daily habits down on paper.

It makes it more real and tangible.

I'm excited to relaunch the app I built during the first lockdown in San Francisco with new features (save, edit, duplicate your custom trackers).

Would love your feedback on this new take

norsak··on Product ideas with expired .com domains
Every Monday, I write a newsletter with 3 product ideas with expired .com domains.

Most domains get taken, but here are a few favorites that are still expired and ready to get scooped up.

norsak··on How do you teach an algorithm what a good .com domain is?
𝐓𝐋𝐃𝐑; I trained a LinearSVC to predict good .com domains with 0.74 accuracy.

See for yourself how the model performs in action at https://DailyDomainIdeas.com or @DomainIdeaDaily on Twitter, or feel free to read the medium post for more details on the process I used.

𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚 𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭?

I love product ideas (shiny object syndrome), and I'm coming up with new ideas almost daily.

So 1 month ago, I decided to daily publish 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 single idea that popped up as a side project.

As I started to publish all the domain ideas, I thought that "this would definitely be possible to automate with machine learning."

So I did.

norsak··on Show HN: I built Daily Domain Ideas to get inspiration for your next business
I love ideas, and I always felt that a domain could be your business inspiration.

Do you need inspiration for your next business or side project?

I built DailyDomainIdeas.com, where I daily share one new idea for an available .com domain.

norsak··on Show HN: Develop self-discipline and daily habits. Without using an app. 🧘 ️
How do you develop self-discipline and track daily routines without using an app?

I wanted an offline habit-building tracker, so I built one - meet Youtine /juˈtin/

Make yourself accountable, without using an app.

norsak··on Ask HN: What did you make during lockdown?
Never miss an important email ever again. I needed an app that would trigger a phone call whenever I received an important email, but without giving the app full access to my mailbox.

So I built one myself, meet Wakingg; https://wakingg.com

norsak··on Show HN: Never miss an important email ever again
Stop checking your email. We'll call you when you receive an important one.

Ever wanted an important email to trigger a phone call to alert you? Most services need full access to your mailbox to trigger a call. My solution is to instead set up automatic email forwards to an app that will trigger a call according to your call criteria and schedule.

Let's say you'd like a call on weekends after 5 pm if you receive an email from your manager, just simply set up forwarding rules in your email provider, and we'll give you a call once you receive an email.

norsak··on Show HN: Simple event code of conduct generator and violation report tool
A high school student pitching her startup on stage at a conference received this text from a middle-aged event attendee; "Hey! Nice to meet you at Demo Day today. It was fun to see how creative you were with your concept. You were really sexy in your apron ;) I will try to remember some tips and info to tomorrow. Complain if I happen to forget :P Talk later!" [https://link.medium.com/iRiWIGl16Z]

This keeps happening because

1) Conferences rarely have a stated code of conduct and

2) Even when they do, they rarely have a process for filing or receiving reports on event policy violations; I felt that something had to be done - so I built Konduct.

Konduct is a platform where event/conference/meetup/workshop/you name it-organizers easily can

1) generate a thoughtful and well-prepared code of conduct and hosted policy site, and at the same time

2) generate a website report widget that can be used anywhere on the organizer's event site where attendees quickly can report any event policy violations

It's simple, event organizers get

1) a site (konduct.co/my-event-name) and

2) a code snippet for the Konduct widget, which is a floating "Report incident"-button ready to embed on their own event site

All (eventual) event policy violation reports are saved and visible on the event organizers dashboard, ready for follow-up according to the reporters choice.

Want to test out the service? File a (test) report on https://konduct.co with your email and receive an example of how the report looks like for both the event organizer and the event attendee.

Want to see an example of how a code of conduct might look like? Visit https://konduct.co/my-test-event-2020

I built Konduct because I genuinely believe that there has to be a change, all events should;

1) Have an explicit code of conduct 2) Upon eventual event policy violations, event attendees need a clear and easy way to create a report for the incident

This is a soft launch and we'd love your feedback!
