Show HN: Rem: Remember Everything (open source)
An open source approach to locally record everything you view on your Apple Silicon computer.<p>Note: Relies on Apple Silicon, and configured to only produce Apple Silicon builds.<p>I think the idea of recording everything you see has the potential to change how we interact with our computers, and believe it should be open source.<p>Also, from a privacy / security perspective, this is like... pretty scary stuff, and I want the code open so we know for certain that nothing is leaving your laptop. Even logging to Sentry has the potential to leak private info.

Show HN: Just.sh – compiler that turns Justfiles into portable shell scripts
Justfiles are like Makefiles, except Just is a command runner, whereas Make is a build system. As I understand it, Just was built to be a less arcane version of Make for collecting commands common to a code repository.<p>When I first learned about Just, I realized that parsing arguments and running commands is exactly what shell scripts do, and there probably isn't much Just does that sh doesn't. This project proves that hypothesis by compiling Justfiles to portable (POSIX-compatible) shell scripts.<p>just.sh is particularly useful for running Justfiles in esoteric environments where Just may not be straightforward to install, such as some CI/CD pipeline environments.

Show HN: Whataaabout.com – unique activity ideas for the holiday break
Hi HN, I’ve been working on whataaabout.com with a friend, while learning to code. It's a fun little website for those short on time but seeking new experiences.
It started from a question, "when was the last time you did an experience you had never done before?". As human beings we need some degree of novelty, to expose ourselves to the unfamiliar and keep learning throughout our lives. So to add a spark to my daily routine and keep novelty coming my way, I started collecting ideas of interesting and unusual activities I’d like to try out sooner or later.
The main selection criteria is things that take a short amount of time and are not too demanding, nor location-specific. I organized them based on categories like uniqueness, humans involved, location, price, time required, and others.<p>I hope you like it, and I’d be happy to hear your thoughts, as well as any cool activity ideas you might have. Cheers!

Show HN: Weeks of Your Life
Hi! I made an interactive visualization of your life in weeks. Inspired by Tim Urban's Your Life in Weeks (Wait But Why) and Buster Benson's Life in Weeks.<p>Hopefully it's a fun thing to do together with family over the holidays.<p>I wrote about it on my digital garden: <a href="https://www.petemillspaugh.com/weeks-of-your-life" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.petemillspaugh.com/weeks-of-your-life</a><p>Any feedback is welcome. Top on my todo list is improving performance (reduce interaction lag).
