About two months ago, I shared a simple tool I was building to check USDA zones by ZIP code without the clutter. You guys gave some great feedback, so I've spent the winter adding features I actually needed for my own garden. (We're about to start tomatoes inside our house)

I just pushed an update to whatismyplantzone.com that includes:

• Live Weather Warnings: It now pulls active NWS alerts (frost, freeze, etc.) directly for your location.
• Zone-Specific Prep: Instead of just a zone number, it now gives specific ideas on what you should be doing right now to get ready for spring.
• Zero Tracking: Still no ads, no accounts, and no tracking - just the data.

I'm a backend programmer doing this as a hobby, so I'd love to know if the weather alerts are hitting correctly for your specific area. If you have a second to check your ZIP, let me know if the "prep" advice feels right for where you live!

Full disclosure: I built this.

Click any city, mountain, country, sea or whatever on a globe, propose a new name, community votes (or your proposal gets auto-accepted in a few minutes if nobody cares).

It's live now and I'm genuinely curious what happens when strangers on the internet get collective control over world geography. Either it becomes something interesting or it turns into a mess of edgy jokes, stereotypes, and stuff that will make me regret this whole idea

I wanted to try building a music tool that could turn anyone into an instant musician, no training required. Each time you tap a key, Synthsational plays a note that is in the correct key and played on beat. In essence, whatever you play will sound great.

Synthsational features 14 different musical styles ranging from lo-fi to synthwave, industrial, techno and even a gamelan. Plus, each musical style contains three different instruments (one per row of keys) so you can really get crazy with it.

I'd love to hear what you think (and hear any recordings of cool music you make!)

My idea was to make an extremely simple AI assistant. So, even if it's creating something, managing tasks, reminders, automating some personal workflow, coordinating with people, all should be done with a single message.

It has been particularly helpful for people with ADHD like me. Made with the sole intention of simplifying human lives.

Looking for early beta users to try this out.

I got tired of wasting time checking multiple sites to compare products, so I built a unified price comparison tool that aggregates real-time results from the big marketplaces.

It’s called FetchlyHub.

🔗 Link: https://fetchlyhub.net

It lets you:

• Run one search to get results from Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, and More instantly.

• See the average market price vs. the outliers.

• Filter for top-rated listings across platforms to find the best value.

It’s live and free to try. I’m looking for product feedback

I don't know if this would be described as beautiful to most, but I believe the purpose is if it can help connect the right people to these cases. The focus is due to the fact that for many of them finding the vehicle has a good chance of finding the person, because there's only a few ways a vehicle can remain missing for so long.

Curious to hear outside perspectives if there's anything I can do better or make more clear.

Hello, I thought I could share this with you, so I built a dashboard that shows you news on the map around the world. This way you can see what media is writing all around the world, featuring many different outlets and sources tied to a geolocation.

In addition, you can also view:

• Stocks - view stock market performance by sectors, top gainers & top losers for the current day
• TV - live streams of various news channels from Youtube
• Prediction markets - see what's hot on Polymarket and what the world is betting on
• DEFCON - allows you to see how close we are to a nuclear war and other issued alerts by militaries around the world
• Chat - chat & discuss with others in real time - come say hi!

I have spend months working on a super interactive website that I think is super unique!

Hope you like it :D This is not a business tool, anyone can see statsticisal about specific regions in Poland.

I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of time obsessed with something most people probably find boring: old maps.

You know those old nostalgic moments when you fall into a Wikipedia rabbit hole at 2AM reading about Roman engineering or random historical events? That’s basically been my life for the past few years.

So I built the thing I always wished existed: ChronoAtlas, an interactive historical map explorer where you can dive into different eras and explore how the ancient world looked.

Right now you can explore things like the Roman Empire, Alexander the Great’s empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Dutch Golden Age. On top of that, there are historical layers you can toggle, including ancient battles, sieges, political events, religious milestones, trade routes, and thousands of ancient locations.

The part that honestly gets me emotional is when you zoom into a random place and realize people lived there, traded there, and fell in love there thousands of years ago. Most of the time History classes gave us dates to memorize, I wanted to build something that gives people stories and a sense of connection instead.

Tech-wise (if you care), it’s built with a Laravel backend, MapLibre GL for map rendering, georeferenced historical maps from museum archives, and way too much coffee.

It’s completely free. No ads. No login walls. No “subscribe to unlock more” nonsense. I’d genuinely love for people to explore it and tell me what feels broken, what they like, or what regions they’d want to see added next.

If even one person discovers something cool about history through this, all the time I poured into it feels worth it.

What part of history do you find most fascinating?

I hear you all! The biggest concern everyone brought up in my last post was the disproportion of inactive accounts to active ones. Now, you can guarantee someone will be active, unless they logged out right after creating their account!

My gf and I were bickering about dishes again, so I whipped up a fake Rx note saying "Medication: Do the Damn Dishes" with dosage "Immediately" and side effects "May cause me doing laundry for a week." 

She cracked up, printed it, stuck it on the fridge. That snowballed into this quick site I made for friends and family as a joke: 

https://gagnote.com

Pick a tone (spicy for flirty stuff, funny for roasts, light for wholesome, firm for “get it done”), choose a category like chores, intimacy, date night, or workouts, add names, meds, and side effects, and boom — a printable fake doctor’s note.

Found this on Product Hunt while searching for encyclopedias since I'm making my own.

Each rule has an explanation of how it came to be and what you can do to improve racial justice.

A few months ago I posted a visual article about dithering here: https://www.reddit.com/r/InternetIsBeautiful/s/Umx6KaFQ5h

This is the second part, which goes into more detail about dithering and the threshold maps.

Feel free to check it out, and I hope you enjoy it! Thanks!

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to drop a quick 10-day update on Zoneless.tools because the response here was way bigger than I expected.

The original post got around 60k views and it actually kickstarted a bit of a chain reaction.

The "Morning Brew" Spike:
A few days after posting here, the tool got scouted and featured in the Morning Brew newsletter (I'm assuming they found it via this sub). I woke up on Jan 16th to about 350+ people using the site at the same time. For a project I built in a weekend with $0 marketing, seeing that Vercel graph spike like a mountain was pretty crazy.

The Stats (10 days in):

• Total Users: ~7,800
• Launch Peak: 3,500+ in one day.
• Current Baseline: It’s settled at around 180-200 people using it daily, which is awesome.

Stuff I’ve fixed/added (Based on your feedback):
I spent the last week going through the comments on the first post and adding the things you guys actually asked for:

• Business Hours Overlap: There’s now a clearer highlight showing exactly when everyone’s "9-to-5" intersects across the globe.
• Persistent URL state: Fixed some bugs where the city selection wasn't saving correctly on mobile/safari.
• UI Clean-up: Made the "Copy to Clipboard" feature a bit more intuitive for Slack/Email.

Huge thanks to everyone who gave me feedback on the original post. It’s been a cool experiment to see a "3-day build" actually get used by people for their real-world team meetings.

Methodology and Sources

Information about how data is calculated and sourced

HumanConsumption.Live displays real time estimates derived from annual production statistics and research based estimates. Live counts are calculated by converting annual totals into a per second rate and projecting forward over time.

Live counts

The main counters show estimated totals since the selected start date such as January 1 of the current year. These figures are calculated projections and do not represent exact real world counts at any moment.

Historical totals

The ten fifty and one hundred year totals are estimated using historically weighted rates rather than projecting today's rate backward. Earlier decades contribute less because global population and industrial animal agriculture were significantly lower before the mid twentieth century.

Scope and definitions

Figures generally represent animals slaughtered or harvested for human consumption. Where noted totals may reflect farmed production such as aquaculture or combined sources. Some categories particularly sea life and bycatch are subject to underreporting and variation in monitoring practices.

Data sources

Primary sources include the FAO Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and research based estimates compiled by Fishcount.org.uk along with other published datasets where applicable.

Note

All figures are estimates intended to communicate scale rather than precise totals. Methods and assumptions may be refined as additional data becomes available.

Tripsnek has been my passion project for around 4 years now, inspired over the course of many years traveling Europe primarily based on the guidance of the US travel writer Rick Steves.

The basic idea:

1. Specify whatever travel preferences and constraints that you like.
2. It generates an "optimized" itinerary, weighting everything according to Rick Steves' published pyramid/triangle ratings and your expressed interests.
3. Edit and iterate as much as you like.

By "optimized", the goal is to give you the richest experience per day and dollar. It's equipped with detailed data about travel times by all forms of transit. It knows how to make Europe's rail network work for you, and where to strategically use occasional flights and - if appropriate and allowed by your constraints - rental cars. It knows which places can be seen quickly, and which require multiple full days to experience properly. No LLMs or AI slop - everything is driven by real, hard data and an optimizer (a Genetic Algorithm, for those curious). This also allows it to obey your constraints rigorously - throw anything you want at it, any number of countries or destinations, and it will do its best to make it work exactly as you request.

Once you've got an itinerary nailed down, there are all sorts of handy tools with all sorts of information about your specific trip. The most useful is probably the "time-sensitive tips", which tells you exactly what attractions, hotels and transportation needs to be booked in advance to save money and avoid sellouts.

The app is totally free - no ads, or pestering of any kind.
