About a year ago, my grandpa showed me a note on his phone called "WHEN I DIE" with banking, insurance, property, investment, and other information in it. It really didn't sit right with me.

The past couple months I've been working on a more comprehensive, easy-to-use guide to document our (for better or worse) complicated lives and I'm just starting to show people.

It's free. It's anonymous. There's no tracking. Download the document if you want to work offline.

It's just something I think should existing in the world.

Maybe I'll put it on Gumroad or something. Maybe I'll make some kind of hosted version one day... idk, shrug.

Feel free to check it out, lmk if it's helpful to you or you think there's anything I should add: https://deathdocument.com

We tried a bunch of apps, which were good, but overkill for what we needed.

I spent the last few weeks building Poopyfeed to scratch our own itch – and I'm pretty proud of it.

It's made our lives a lot easier and helped my wife, grandparents, and I stay in sync.

It's very important to my wife and I that this project doesn't require people create an account, and stays completely free. It's a little attempt to put something good and helpful into the world.

I built this using a React Native (Expo) mobile app (iOS only for now) and Elixir + Phoenix backend. I use Phoenix Channels heavily for real-time sync of breastfeeding, pumping, and napping timers (backed by GenServers + a DynamicSupervisor).

This is just a beta build so you have to download it via TestFlight, but I'd love any feedback from the community to make improvements before submitting it to the App Store.

I'm just glad to share this site with the community and hope people get some value from it!

I really just built it to get acquainted with Elixir + Phoenix, and wanted to share it with the community :)

I appreciate that info on LiveView, I plan on digging into it!

The public-facing pages of this site aren't currently using LiveView, but I see it on the horizon.

For speed considerations, I'm actually caching news stories in memory using the excellent Cachex (https://github.com/whitfin/cachex) library.

I honestly just built this project as a tool to aggregate market news for myself and build something simple with Elixir + Phoenix.

I don't have any plans to add commentary – but I do intend to keep it running and building things that are helpful to myself and the community!

I've been using them for about 2 years and they have an awesome team and service.

Honestly, it was super simple to put together; I pull data from https://stocknewsapi.com, which I've found to be very high quality and reliable (I'm using their sentiment classifications as well, so not exactly sure what model is behind that).

The project isn't currently open source, but I'm definitely considering it. I built it with Elixir + Phoenix, with a couple main objectives:

- Familiarize myself with Tailwind - Set up a really smooth developer experience - Learn about deploying Elixir + Phoneix apps - Build something of some use!

I'd love to see your project as well – happy to discuss more!

DM me if you want my sensei's contact details, she's joyful and makes the sessions great.

Seamless dev experience, great docs, and pleased with performance. Highly recommend if you're looking to build a React app.

We started building the tool we'd want to use, and it spiraled into a pretty sophisticated iOS app. We launched it 2 weeks ago and are feeling pretty good! I'd love to get HN's thoughts on it too.

Postgres + Redis + Node + GraphQL (Apollo) + React Native + Expo
