PiBox: a tiny personal server for self-hosting
Heya HN! We've built a Raspberry PI CM4 based SSD NAS for home hosting. We built it as a part of KubeSail.com - which is a platform aimed at making self-hosting easy and at making the technical bits (tunneling, backups, updates, etc) as easy as possible.<p>You may have seen plans for this about 9 months ago on HN, but we're finally in full production! I'll be booking tickets to fly out and help assemble the 2nd batch in a few days - we're effectively a two person computer company, which is a lot of fun and a crazy amount of work. Our mission is to make home-hosting a website, an app, or just personal photos a reasonable alternative to SaaS products.
Show HN: International Legal Dictionary
I'm a pro bono attorney, and have been really interested in making the law easier to understand. I also see a ton of government resources online in varying degrees of usability. And for sure, there's no interoperability between them.<p>This is an international legal dictionary, an experiment in improving the situation: glossaries are scraped and parses from official sources: <a href="https://github.com/public-law/open-gov-crawlers" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/public-law/open-gov-crawlers</a>. The results are saved as datasets in well formed JSON with Dublin Core metadata: <a href="https://github.com/public-law/datasets" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/public-law/datasets</a><p>I add Library of Congress subject headings to the sources, to enable filtering (still to come).<p>The web app is basically an old-school mashup, which I've always liked.<p>Another experiment is using the Dale-Chall readability formula to improve the reader's experience. Here's an example of it at work:<p><a href="https://www.public.law/dictionary/entries/amicus-curiae" rel="nofollow">https://www.public.law/dictionary/entries/amicus-curiae</a><p>This is an experiment, using readability as a <i>relative</i> metric. I.e., not extracing an absolute grade-level score as its normaly used. Instead, using it to compare different definitions of the same phrase. My theory is, there's strong scientific validity for this use, even when applied to very short passages: All I simply want is to figure out, "Which is more readable? Passage A or B?" And then, my code sorts the definitions in order of readability to (theoretically) produce a newspaper-article-like effect: A reader can read the first couple of sentences to get an overview of the story.

Show HN: Emery – Personal productivity workspace
We're building an app that helps people manage their schedule, tasks and notes all in one place.<p>The goal is to create a workspace, where people can manage their various priorities, both personal and professional, see a single schedule combined of all their calendars and manage their days without switching between multiple apps.<p>At the moment we've implemented Google calendar synchronisation, basic tasks and notes. Also Emery has some things we really wanted to see in other apps – private notes for meetings, categories that can be used to group tasks/notes/meetings together, weekly productivity reports.<p>Happy to hear any feedback and answer any questions!
