Project mention: Ask HN: Safest place for young kids to chat to friends online? | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-01-11
At one point I seriously considered self-hosting a Rocket Chat [1] instance for very similar reasons. It seems to have a good balance of features, moderation controls, and polish while still being pretty straight-forward to host.
The main challenge I ran into was, of course, convincing folks to use it (instead of the "easier" forms of communication that they already had....).

Super handy library. I used it for a real-time collaborative map tool [1], it's especially useful when it comes to customization, plus it has many plugins which add a lot of functionality. Leaflet Geoman [2] for instance is great for creating all sorts of geometries on the map, I've personally used it for my tool so users can designate areas and paths. So good.

Any of the open-source MQTT brokers out there should do the job. I personally use Mosquitto for most of my projects, but RabbitMQ, Aedes or any other broker should all just work.

Project mention: Cannot read property 'children' of undefined with using Tensorflow Object Detection API model in tfjs | reddit.com/r/tensorflow | 2021-05-28
Describe the current behavior I used transfer learning using a pretrained model from the Tensorflow Object Detection API, which i converted to tensorflow-js using the tensorflow-converter API in python. View the ipynb notebook HERE. I then followed @hugozanini's REPO which had a template for using your tensorflow object detection models in javascript; I copied the index.json file and put it into a sandbox, replacing his model.json file with mine. The repo which contains it can be found here
