Show HN: Performant intracontinental public transport routing in Rust (Score: 150+ in 1 day)

Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6jwHi
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6jwHi

I made a public transport route planning program that's capable of planning journeys across Europe or North America! There's only one other FOSS project I know of (MOTIS/Transitous) that can do transit routing at this scale, and in the testing I've performed mine is about 50x faster. I've spent a few weeks on this project now and it's getting to the point where I can show it off, but the API responses need a lot of work before they're usable for any downstream application.
Example query (Berlin to Barcelona): https://farebox.airmail.rs/plan/52.5176122,13.4180261/41.380...
There are some bugs still. Notably, it's not capable of planning the return trip for this route, nor the reverse of the trip from Seattle to NYC that I gave in the blog post.

Side-note but in the past some have criticized my writing style and it's been a bit hurtful at times but if you have constructive feedback on the blog post I'd appreciate it. I'm trying to get better at writing. :)

Show HN: Open-sourcing my failed startup Buzee – A file search application (Score: 150+ in 18 hours)

Buzee is a file search application that helps you find your files effortlessly.
As a modern-day knowledge worker, I have several thousand documents, presentations and other files on my computer. I built Buzee in my free time to help me weave my way through this maze. I have been using it pretty much everyday since the day I built it - and I love it!
I thought I could turn Buzee into a startup. I reached out to offices and helped set it up for them. But it didn't pan out.
I am now letting go of this project because I have other priorities in life.
Please feel free to do with this project as you wish. I am happy to help you get started with the codebase.
Do share what you build. I would love to see it!
Cheers

SmartHome is a free, browser-based game written in vanilla JavaScript and no libraries. I don't want to spoil anything about the gameplay, but if you like text adventures, point-and-click adventure games, puzzle games, escape room games, art games, incremental games, cozy games, and/or RPGs, then this might be your speed.

Ask HN: How do you find part time work? (Score: 150+ in 4 hours)

Link: https://readhacker.news/c/6jAvm

I have a project that I'm working on turning into a small business. I've done some part-time work (retainers and project-based) over the past year and it's gone well. It's relatively high pay for part-time work, leaving me time and flexibility to work on my own project.
The thing, I haven't really put much work into finding this kind of work. I've had a few opportunities land in my lap pretty nicely. Now, I need to seek out more work like this. I have ideas, but I'm curious to see how others are finding part-time work. Ideally, I would get 10-15/hr a week retainers, but project-based work is ok too. The key is that I can keep getting the work with consistency.
My corporate career was a cross between engineering and product management. I truly believe my best utility is the cross-over of the two. I'd be happy to do part-time leadership for small teams, take on independent projects, do things like build and maintain small apps/integrations, etc.
So:
1) How are you finding part-time work?
2) How do you sell yourself if you're more of a generalist like me?
