So this week I got (was given) the opportunity to write our weekly round up email because team is busy with our upcoming Peerlist x Roadmap.sh AI Hackathon prep. It's a week long online hackathon where you can build AI tools for job hunt, social media, productivity, and dev tools.

Registrations are starting tomorrow 7th June (12:00 am UTC)!

Let's get back to our Peerlist weekly round up where we look at some really cool side projects launched on Spotlight, new job opportunities, and one of the most awaited feature we shipped this week. It could be dark mode 😉.


So, how fast can you type? To find the answer check out

minitype

This sleek, user-friendly app lets you measure your typing speed real-time in your browser. Simply start typing and track your progress as you improve. I personally love such simple and fun side projects.

Why don't you do a quick TGIF challenge tomorrow — send the minitype link to your colleagues to see who's the fastest typer aka the typing ninja 🥷. Also, if you have some feedback or appreciation, then share it with Aakash B on his launch page.

Happy typing!

Let's see some more launched side projects from this week.

Empaithy

Empaithy by Harshdeep Anand aims to address the growing mental health crisis by providing AI-driven tools for self-reflection, emotional mapping, and stigma-free support. The platform empowers users to track their mental well-being, understand their emotions, and access guidance anytime, anywhere.

Add to Calendar PRO

With Add to Calendar PRO by Jens Kuerschner, you can effortlessly embed Add to Calendar buttons, manage RSVPs, create custom landing pages, and generate ics files, ensuring your audience stays informed and engaged.

Codeshare

A distraction free and open-source pastebin alternative by Fayaz Ahmed. With support for over 100 programming languages, syntax highlighting, and zero friction—no signup needed, just paste your code and you're good to go!

Receipt AI

I so wanted a tool like this. As a founder, I have two primary jobs, sharing OTP and submitting receipts to accounts. Many times I forget or misplace those.

Receipt AI solves this problem. Simply take a picture of receipt and send it using SMS. Retrieve information, rename and upload the receipt file to your Xero or QuickBooks in 5 seconds. Queenie Peng, you're a savior, you have my blessings!
