We are building local (Baltics) marketplace for teambuilding events.

Ever since I took on teamlead responsibilities in my daily job, it's been a recurring challenge to organize fun and engaging activities for a team. Providers are usually small businesses, so they all handle enquires, booking and payments to the best of their ability. That usually means exhausting back and forth to get and compare multiple offers.

Instead, we provide curated list of activity providers to choose from, and then handle communication, invoicing and disputes\returns, if needed.

We have got overwhelmingly good feedback from HRs, responsible for team event bookings, and now trying to grow vendors to launch publicly.

24kW solar "to keep lights on" is a funny way to underplay it. My house "summer" electricity usage is 60kWh per month, including water pump, DHW, septic and work from home for 2 adults. So 3h of your PV production would power my house for a month!

Regarding heating - I live in cold climate. We had average daily temperature of -10c this january, with multiple lows at -25c, and most nights at -15c. The house is 116sqm. Our heatpump COP for that month was above 2, and we used 787kWh total to heat the house, which is not a lot, actually. At 15 cents per kWh it is 118 euros for heating, for the coldest month in a decade! Considering also that we do not pay for electricity since april until october (solar panels).

We also paid less than those houses which use natural gas, wood pellets, etc. We also do not need to do anything to keep house warm. Also, during summer months we could "drive for free" in EV due to free solar electricity.

All that just to counter your take on "major quality of life and activity time shifting trade-offs".

I am working on an https://evy.app/

Evy is an app for collectors, both professional and casual, to help them keep track of their items and share it with the world. Currently there are either overly complex inventory management systems, which are overkill for casual collectors, or generic social platforms, which are "fine" for everything, but great for nothing. My goal with Evy is to fill this gap by offering an easy way for any collector to manage their items.

In short, it is an asset management system tailored specifically for collectors.

Same. Applied to dozens of positions, and only got rejects. Not even a screening interview... Weirdest reject was when I applied to a position where I had 100% match with all the tech requirements (including niche ones), had relevant soft skills and had an industry experience. I highlited all of it in my cover letter, and still got a rejection.

I am working on a free app to host, manage and share your hobbies or collections.

I have an extensive collection of mechanichal keyboards, and I often struggle to find photos when talking about it, to keep track of pending orders and keeping a stock of stuff. So this is app comes from my own necessity :)

I had exactly the same experience with Render. I was researching where it would be cheaper and easier to setup my infrastructure. So, I deployed bunch of services to Render, and boom, "Unauthorized" and "This service has been suspended by its owner". Sent an email to support, got first reply after 4 days, and then silence for a month, until I angrily asked them what's up. No need to say that I will probably never go with Render.

Library author decisions aside, the implications for the .NET ecosystem are insane.

.NET Analyzers spawning processes, especially in an elevated environment. Pausing builds for 100ms for non-paying users. Silently leaking millions of user emails.

That all seems much dirtier than core-js drama.
