      <title>I built RateFilter: PASS/FAIL restaurants by YOUR taste, not star averages</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Star ratings average the person who loved the lighting with the person who found a hair in the soup.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I built &lt;a href="https://ratefilter.top" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;RateFilter&lt;/a&gt; so you can set personal red lines (no smoking, pests, food poisoning, kid-friendly). It reads existing reviews for evidence and answers PASS, WARNING, or FAIL.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Filters are shareable (like &lt;a class="mentioned-user" href="https://dev.to/kang"&gt;@kang&lt;/a&gt;/family-restaurant). You can like/save other people's filters and browse public boards — show your taste, borrow someone else's.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Demo: Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof area. Feedback welcome — especially if your taste is weirder than mine.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>RateFilter: your own Red Line on reviews, not star averages</title>
      <dc:creator>boringhusband</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 09:01:36 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/firstsignal/ratefilter-your-own-red-line-on-reviews-not-star-averages-5ffb</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/firstsignal/ratefilter-your-own-red-line-on-reviews-not-star-averages-5ffb</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;RateFilter (&lt;a href="https://ratefilter.top" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://ratefilter.top&lt;/a&gt;) lets you define personal Red Line filters, then scores a business PASS / WARNING / FAIL from review evidence — not from the star average.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Star averages hide the one thing you actually care about. A 4.6 restaurant can still fail your filter if reviews mention the thing you will not accept.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Try it: &lt;a href="https://ratefilter.top" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://ratefilter.top&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Bibla: private AI multi-party mediation without an AI verdict</title>
      <dc:creator>boringhusband</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 09:00:11 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/firstsignal/bibla-private-ai-multi-party-mediation-without-an-ai-verdict-50am</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/firstsignal/bibla-private-ai-multi-party-mediation-without-an-ai-verdict-50am</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Bibla (&lt;a href="https://bibla.top" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://bibla.top&lt;/a&gt;) is a private AI mediation product for multi-party disputes. Each person is interviewed separately. The AI does not issue a verdict. Optional de-identified public stories are published only with unanimous consent.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is built for people who need a structured conversation, not a public courtroom and not a chatbot that picks a winner.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Try it: &lt;a href="https://bibla.top" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://bibla.top&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>0Chat: timed 1-on-1 language exchange, not random chat roulette</title>
      <dc:creator>boringhusband</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 08:40:36 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/firstsignal/0chat-timed-1-on-1-language-exchange-not-random-chat-roulette-4fnd</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/firstsignal/0chat-timed-1-on-1-language-exchange-not-random-chat-roulette-4fnd</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;0Chat (&lt;a href="https://0chat.online" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://0chat.online&lt;/a&gt;) is a free timed 1-on-1 language-exchange session. You match with one partner who shares a language you want to practise (up to 3 of 12 languages), then you talk until the timer runs out. You can extend only if both of you ask.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What the other person sees: gender only. Not your display name, not your email, no profile to browse, no feed, no swipe deck. The session is supposed to be about actually speaking the language.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What it is not:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Not Omegle / cam roulette. Sessions are timed and built for language practice with a single partner.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Not a social network. There is nothing to scroll.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want a low-friction way to practise a language with a stranger who actually opted into the same language, try it: &lt;a href="https://0chat.online" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://0chat.online&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>How I score AI company growth momentum 0–100 from public information</title>
      <dc:creator>boringhusband</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 08:36:15 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/firstsignal/how-i-score-ai-company-growth-momentum-0-100-from-public-information-2b53</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/firstsignal/how-i-score-ai-company-growth-momentum-0-100-from-public-information-2b53</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;FirstSignal (&lt;a href="https://firstsignal.top" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://firstsignal.top&lt;/a&gt;) publishes one number per company per day: a 0–100&lt;br&gt;
growth-momentum score built only from official public information.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The five components and their weights
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Component&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Weight&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;What it captures&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;AI demand&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;30%&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;disclosed demand signals: bookings, backlog, sold-out capacity language&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Capacity&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;20%&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;announced buildout: data centers, supply agreements, deployed capacity&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;R&amp;amp;D&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;20%&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;disclosed R&amp;amp;D spend and shipped technical milestones&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Sales&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;15%&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;reported revenue trajectory and sales-motion disclosures&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Expansion&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;15%&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;new markets, new segments, partnerships and geographic expansion&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why weight it this way
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Demand is the earliest and least ambiguous signal that an AI business is compounding, so it&lt;br&gt;
gets the largest share. Capacity and R&amp;amp;D are the commitments a company makes when it believes&lt;br&gt;
its own demand. Sales confirms it more slowly, and expansion is real but noisiest.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Pipeline
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pull official public sources only: company press releases, filings, official announcements.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Extract component-level evidence per company per day.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Normalize each component to 0–100, apply the weights above, publish the blended score.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What it is not
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Not a price forecast, not investment advice. It measures operating momentum, not the stock.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Not a fitted model — the weights are explicit judgement calls, published so you can disagree.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Not broad coverage yet: live for ABBV, CRWV and ALAB while the pipeline is validated.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Live scores: &lt;a href="https://firstsignal.top" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://firstsignal.top&lt;/a&gt; (the site is .top — firstsignal.work is not mine)&lt;/p&gt;
