143 | Working on my game Sandustry, a mining and automation sandbox with pixel-based physics (think Noita meets Factorio).I released the first playtest of the alpha a few days ago, which you can try directly in your browser:https://lanttogames.itch.io/sandustry |
629 | Getting a date with your mom.(ha ha) no really, an app that aims to help out older, lonely, but good people. It's a desperately underserved market. These people are often overlooked and we're trying to empathize with them via software. |
125 | I'm working on my tech interview platform: https://onlineinterview.io/
It is a free platform that allows people to develop on the browser using multiple programming languages, draw on a shared board and talk over video. |
99 | Helping others with their mental health (after my own struggles).Worked as a software dev/manager for a decade, went through workaholism, burnout, then alcoholism, depression, all that. Doing a ton better now, and taking some time off to write about what I went through and hopefully help out others going through the same thing some: https://depthsofrepair.com/ |
130 | I am currently working on a custom markup language called atex. It's syntax reminds of latex syntax, but with @ instead \ as a special character (very similar to the Lout language, if anyone remembers it). Also, the atex language hasn't any predefined commands. Instead, all commands are defined via schema specified in a separate YAML file. Schema defines commands that can be used and means of "rendering" those commands to different targets (HTML, Tex, Typst, whatever...)Just today, I finished first working version of the new compiler (https://github.com/ubavic/mint). It is written in Go, and there are lot of things on the TODO list, but it works :)This is actually the second compiler for the atex. The first one was written in Haskell and compiled fixed document schema. I used it for writing a book on Haskell (https://github.com/ubavic/programming-in-haskell). |
141 | I’m working on a self-hostable, open-source collaborative bookmark manager:

49 | I've been building a web extension for an Inuit language (ᐃᓄᒃᑎᑐᑦ ᖃᓂᐅᔮᖅᐸᐃᑦ).Most Inuit in Canada speak Inuktitut, which is a language with long words and two different writing systems: the latin alphabet, and syllabics. Syllabics are specially adapted for Inuktitut and well-loved by the Inuit, but unfortunately can be a pain to input on a computer, so often times the more cumbersome latin alphabet is used in casual writing.Tom Scott has an awesome video about how syllabics work[1], but breifly, the shape of the character determined its inital consonant spund, and the rotation determines its vowel sound. So ᐱ = pi, ᐳ = pu, ᐸ = pa, ᑎ = ti, ᑐ = tu, ᑕ = ta, etc. The word "Inuktitut" becomes ᐃᓄᒃᑎᑐᑦ in syllabics.Transliterating between the two is fairly simple, but there are edge-cases around dialects and whatnot. The more interesting problem from a technical perspective is having a web extension that can detect Inuktitut on a web page (in wither writing system), and transliterate that into whatever writing system the user desires, whilst never accidentally transliterating the other text on the page ("inhabitants" could be picked up and transliterated as "ᐃᓐᕼᐊᖯᐃᑕᓐᑦᔅ", for example, even though that makes no sense).The project is mostly using Rust via WebAssembly, which has been a lot of fun to work with and has let me do some awesome things, like avoiding heap allocation and using compile-time hashmaps to do conversions on the text. The build system has to do a lot and I eventually settled on python. Right now I'm trying to wrangle JS and the DOM (there's a lot of edge cases to deal with), and that's been difficult as it's not my wheelhouse.1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW4hI_METac&t=15s |
616 | An integrated Palantir-like system for political campaigning, oppo research, narrative management etc. |
510 | I'm working on a cross-platform file search utility: https://ksylvestre.itch.io/mightygrepI based it off of an old win32 application that is no longer receiving updates. Release cadence has been about once per month. |
243 | I'm working on Xona AI (https://xona.ai). I want to democratize the generation of 3D visualizations for interior and exterior design. We will launch next week on ProductHunt :)Very excited. |
44 | I've been working on https://65words.com by myself for 6 months.65 Words is an anonymous challenge to write 65+ words daily in the language you're learning.The real focus isn't just on improving your writing but on having the opportunity to think about how you'd express something without the pressure of the moment.There's no hidden science behind choosing 65 words. I found it’s achievable even on a very busy day.The goal is to help learners practice daily and build confidence through consistent effort. |
229 | Parallel streaming video ingestion of live events, chunking up the video, sending it to Gemini Pro to get get the context/narrative/transcription/sentiment, and alerting for various things. |
483 | Working on building the largest database of LEGO minifigure user ratings at https://brickelo.com/ |
15 | Making fingerboards. Little skateboards you can do tricks with. I'm always fingerboarding at work when I take a break from programming.It's a ton of fun, especially writing Fusion 360 scripts to do all the parametric modeling of decks and molds. Then 3D printing molds with different parameters, pressing decks with veneer, making art for the decks, packaging, etc. It's an incredibly niche hobby but I've always found fingerboarding and making fingerboards to be infinitely creative. |
529 | I'm actually creating a new web framework/library. I know. I know. Yet another one. I got sufficiently excited about the technology recently that I've dived head first into making one. Stay tuned. |
443 | I'm working on a side project which is a Python library that provides of an abstraction layer to manage infrastructure in cloud providers by interacting with their APIs. This is something I've been developing every now and then for the last months after years of working with Terraform and getting tired of the limitations of it's DSL (yeah, Pullumi is better but I just simply want a generic library with classes representing services in the cloud I can call natively in Python without having to deal with a 3rd party application like Pullumi is!). |
504 | I am working on an agent cognitive architecture based around LLMs. Been working on it for a while. The main difference from all the dozens out of agentic systems out there is that has been designed so that it can introspect fully and it has a machine ethics layer based on the work a modern Stoic philosopher. I am trying to build a system that I would like to exist. |
168 | https://gpt.franzai.comAI over email.Had some vacation. Now lots of new ideas. Think I will enable email forwarding (not yet possible)Mailto:gpt@franzai.comHey, please send example@example.com a friendly email inviting them to a google meeting next Thursday. Keep me cc.Will only implement minimal spam protection and a simple opt out and see what happens. |
42 | Though I am not actually _working_ on anything concrete(facing analysis paralysis. Also, as a coder, I have no idea how to deal with the sales site) this should turn to a monthly post |
636 | For my startup, a way to debug code errors with LLMs: https://codecomet.io - please let us know if you're interested and we can show you a demo.On the side (with very little spare time), a set of Scrabble-related apps: for studying, AI, and playing. (See https://github.com/domino14 for more info)I just love code too much. |
208 | A drag and drop hosting solution for .NET projects - Like tiiny.host but for .NET.Should be ready for early adoption in a month or so.It was one of those shower thoughts along the lines of "I wonder if it's possible to drag and drop host .net projects..." :) |
407 | I've been working on 2 projects:Insnare: https://www.insnare.net/A head-hunting/recruitment application to search companies and people based on their skills and experience. Currently focused on Australian market.It's also for people who are looking for jobs. The goal there is to help to find good companies which have high (or low) concentrations of people with certain skills/attributes.Saasufy: https://saasufy.com/A no-code/low-code platform for building apps without code. Insnare is built with and runs on Saasufy. This freed me up from having to write back end code for Insnare and made the front end code very small. |
491 | I'm working on a single-file executable version of Fivetran you can run wherever you like, for free, without needing an account. It may or may not be OSS, we'll see. |
325 | A text-yourself productivity app called tetr. I have always been messaging myself notes and thoughts on Signal and wanted something that would extend this habit to a funky productivity app and also do more advanced stuff like reminders, habits, mood tracking, etc.Been working on this for nearly 2 years now and it’s been cool seeing people use it daily, some definitely a lot more than I do. I still feel like it’s not even close to its full potential; infinite more things to add but most often a joy for me to work on.https://tetr.app/ |
71 | Secondary applications for med school - once your initial single app gets processed, every school (out of the 20+ you apply to) wants multiple essays from you. The process of preparing for and applying to med school is a nightmare and consumed the last two years of my life. I've had a lot of really cool life experiences because of it though, learned so much about medicine, and done some actual good. But I just want to get in this cycle and be done with endless essay writing.I've been working on and off on building an app for learning chest x-ray interpretation, but that's shelved until I finish applications. |
619 | I'm working on a trip planner for vegans. This is designed to solve my particular problem as a full time (vegan) nomad who likes to stay in walkable cities.I noticed that sometimes, I book accommodations in a new city without realizing I'm very far from the nearest vegan restaurant, having to walk for a really long time to get food, and sometimes getting there after the kitchen is already closed.The planner helps me find hotels/airbnbs that are within 15 minute walk of at least 3 different vegan restaurants - makes my life so much easier! |
64 | I built a simple teleprompter web app to help record talking head videos with the front camera of my MacBook this week.Link: https://camprompter.appThe insight is that if you read text from a tiny enough box right below the front camera on the MacBook, it appears as if you're talking to the camera.Boom! Easy Eye Contact With Camera.I scrunched up the Notion app and placed it as well as I could in the safe area to test it out for a couple of videos, but then I just wrote a web app because it seemed like the next logical step.Once you paste the script and hit play... you can only see the text in the safe area so your eyes don't wander.Fire up PhotoBooth and try it out!PS: Press F for fullscreen. |
447 | I am working on a git merge conflict resolution tool. If this is a problem you have, feel free to shot me an email. Still very early stages. |
634 | I'm working on a project to find the best places for you to live (in the US).Right now, people are deciding where to move based on gut feels, spreadsheets, and wikipedia pages. There needs to be a better way to enter personal preferences and come out with enough data that ensures the place you're in is the best fit for you.Enter your preferences, narrow down locations, and compare them:https://exoroad.com |
94 | We are working on https://aide.dev/ an editor forked from VSCode which allows you to utilize LLMs to speed up coding.Our approach is a bit different since unlike making a better copilot or a chat experience we are building workflows which encourage engineers to work alongside AI and not just offload tasks to AI. |
349 | We’re working on our contract management system for dev and design agencies. Been in beta for a couple months, working as always on that elusive product-market fit.Besides that our team is always working on cool stuff for our clients. Lots of interesting work these days “in” AI, plenty of cool stuff going on in health tech.Got something cool you need devs for? Always happy to talk shop — wyatt at apsis dot io. |
40 | I wanted to learn more about htmx so I created a very dumb project https://mettag.ulry.app that fetches meta tags of passed urls and displays them nicely in the UI (also provides APIs because why not?). Still have to finish it, especially the err handling part, but it turns out I quite like htmx! |
283 | I've been working on a pretty basic who's that pokemon game for a little while. There's quite a few online but none quite scratched the itch for me.Still got a big list of improvements to make but I'm quite happy with how it's coming together.https://whos-that-pokemon.gicelascona.org/ |
37 | I'm trying up standup comedy this summer -- open mics for now.I thought it would be absolutely terrifying to be in front of a bunch of strangers and try to make them laugh, but it turns out if you're prepared, it's not that hard. Open mic crowds are benevolent and don't expect you to be the next Richard Pryor or George Carlin anyway, and I don't "engage" the public at all; I just tell my jokes.I try to come up with new material each time so there's some work to do, but it's fun. |
81 | I have been making YouTube videos about a project I built a couple of years ago. It took a while to find the time and the right approach to documenting it, but I'm finally happy with the results.The first video is here: https://youtu.be/W0_3rzvq9Ks (the second is coming out tomorrow)And it's on GitHub here: https://github.com/masto/LED-MarqueeI also recently left the Big Tech world after 11 years at Google, so I'm trying to figure out what comes next. (I don't think I can make professional YouTuber pay the bills). If it's not inappropriate to mention here, my resume is at https://hire.masto.me/ |
134 | I'm working on a metadata catalog aimed towards scientific data. After standing up an enterprise data platform/lakehouse for science and laboratories, I've been really depressed by the current offerings and the massive oversight they have when dealing with scientific data. So I thought I'd change that. We're targeting not only the right kinds of data, but also connectors/integrations that reflect where most science data lives at these labs. |
34 | I'm finally frustrated enough by the state of coding that I'm developing my own coding environment and language. The leading question is: What if UI was first-class while programming?Happy to elaborate if anyone is interested, I will also write about it on my blog (https://watwa.re) at some point |
280 | I have been working on a little price tracker for the Hetzner Dedicated Server auction (https://radar.iodev.org/). Using Sveltekit for the first time, and decided to go frontend only with duckdb-wasm.I pull the data every hour with a GitHub action and redeploy the site nightly. The duckdb is regenerated every time and I can flexibly change its structure as required. So far I didn’t change much (eg. no normalization) since it’s not really needed. It also turns out to be surprisingly small, with compression a few megabytes. I haven’t written much SQL in some time and duckdb is very powerful.Most of the texts are AI generated as I’m usually very bad coming up with this. I really gotta learn that one day. Webdesign is the other weakness, but with all these UI libraries these days it’s less of a problem.I guess it’s pretty niche, but maybe interesting for some.It’s a fun little project. |
386 | Essentially paying down (with time and money) maintenance debt on house and property after semi-retiring. I'll get back into doing some "real" work in the fall. Seems to be a pretty common pattern.I got lazy during COVID but stuff seemed hard to get done and I wasn't really in the mood to try harder. |
13 | I am working on improving a system to inform citizens about the public benefits for which they are eligible [0]. It's hold by Barcelona City Council.It analyzes the social situation of a person, or group of people that live together, and forecasts those benefits that they could access. It is an old base code that uses OpenFisca for the back, and React for the front. However, it's quite fun though. Currently I'm working on make it more stable as there are still some parts that could break the process.[0] https://lesmevesajudes.barcelona.cat/ |
188 | I made a personal, self-hostable read-it-later service that fits my needs. Just for fun I gave myself the constraint that I couldn’t use any JS, so it’s all done with static html templates in Django. It also archives all articles so you never have to worry about link rot. https://github.com/brendanv/lynxAnd now, because I have a problem, I’ve completely pivoted and I’m rewriting it from scratch as a SPA because I wanted to try using Pocketbase for the backend and extend it so I could learn Go. https://github.com/brendanv/lynx-v2 |
165 | Hi, I am Software Engineer from India, I am working on https://shoutmemo.com to collect, manage and showcase customers testimonials using embed widget on website. It can also import testimonials from socials like twitter. This is my first side hustle. It is still in beta stage. |
105 | I am currently working on developing a procedural, interpreted language that is amenable to genetic (evolutionary) programming.I have decided to shelve my work on architectures that are biologically inspired for now. I was getting reasonable results with spiking neural networks and evolutionary training, but there are so many hyper parameters to think about and how they behave over time is really hard to predict. I was also struggling deeply with how to manage topological concerns like network growth over time.With interpreted evolutionary programs, the memory access patterns are so much more ideal with the program counter stepping through (mostly) contiguous bytes vs totally insane recurrent spiking neural access patterns. You get so many more generations & candidates evaluated per unit time that it can make previously apparent "dead ends" viable, simply because you don't need to have extreme patience to find out anymore. I am discovering that iteration speed is the most important thing in this arena. The faster you find out how bad a certain parameter adjustment is, the sooner you can get to the good ones.I am also working on an unrelated contract to integrate some back office banking systems. Not much worth discussing there. |
516 | I've been working a lot of some games in Python and Panda3D. I want to make somethingusing the joy cons as motion controls. Also been looking into stackless Python for a text based multiplayer game I'm working on.I need to update my website at some point its been a while. |
60 | I am working on a SaaS for real estate agents. Customers get their own tenanted database and web front-end with some fancy front-end tools like geospatial searching to keep customers attracted to said customer's portfolio. I have a paying customer who's been using a 1.0 version for more than a decade now. I don't know whether I got lucky or there's a legitimate market for v2.0 out there. I am building it with boring tech as it's a boring product. I guess I should get back to building it. |
1 | I've been working on a kind of strategy game called Fall of an Empire (https://fallofanempiregame.com), it's a bit like a mix between Crusader Kings, Total War, Mount and Blade type games (just the overworld, not the battles), but rather than expanding you're trying to prevent an empire from collapsing.It's a ton of work, especially with the number of systems - you've got combat, resource management, settlement development, food managment, espionage, diplomacy etc - these all need to play together well. And then you've got to add in the storyline, graphics, marketing -but I think I'm making pretty good progress.I'm still using Unreal Engine 4 because I started work on that version and I haven't needed to upgrade to 5 since it's been released.
I've got a free prologue that I'm releasing on October 1, so now until then is a lot of polishing to make it work well. |
368 | LPI/LPD/LPJ video codec/modems that can operate in the UHF band. |
554 | I am working on turning my theory into a code. I have a theory on how the brain works. Do not criticize me, even i know how it sounds. |
309 | Hello! This year I've been working on building an integrated registration and live timing platform [0] for my local organizers in CA, but it is spreading. Very fun/rewarding project. I hope to launch my own cellular-based timing hardware this year which will integrate into the timing platform (right now I've reverse engineered and now support 5 different chronometers, I never knew cross platform serial port comms was such a PITA). Getting cellular based timers synchronized should be fun, although I'll probably opt for some super simple solution, we'll see...Also continuing to build FastComments [1] and hoping to continue to grow that.[0] https://sidewaysdata.com[1] https://fastcomments.com |
530 | Work in regulated manufacturing industry, deploying off-the-shelf operational technology systems (think Siemens, Emerson, Rockwell, Honeywell, Aveva, etc.).
Been building a software stack to automate building the custom documentation / validation the businesses who buy and deploy that software. Excited about its potential to cut down and the least favorite part of the job that engineers and those businesses have, when trying to improve things by deploying software or making changes |
312 | I've been learning io_uring for fun and 0 profit by building a web-based game using only the Rust standard library. I create a simple WebSocket server and am now creating async from the ground up. I'm documenting it all: https://github.com/kilroyjones/series_game_from_scratch |
53 | A small tool to align two versions of a video with each other, that have the same video (e.g same cut of a show or movie), but different audio tracks, so that the audio track from one can be merged into the other. The primary use case is to merge native BluRay rips that only have native language audio with dubbed audio from DVD or VHS rips. Should help simplify my media collection and cut down on storage.Uses the scenedetect Python library to locate scene breaks and then uses perceptual hashing to find points for alignment. Also will include a small webapp to debug and adjust things manually in difficult cases. |
271 | I am working alone on MyApps [1], an app of apps where you can spawn any number of pre-defined "app windows" into a zoomable, pannable infinite 2D space. Currently it only features a clone of PureRef.
It runs Gundb in the backend, providing a privacy friendly, p2p syncing organization tools.[1] https://github.com/hrkck/MyApps/wiki |
373 | I’ve been working on (with a couple of friends) a one-click observability solution for Supabase: https://supafana.comThis our first experience in infrastructure SaaS (we opted for Azure) - way harder than we planned for, but seems to work! |

263 | I am trying to get better at trading so I thought it would be nice chance to work on my coding skills. I wondered if financial indicators actually makes money for a given period.https://indicatorinsights.coMade it with React, Vite, firebase via Typescript. It’s a really different world for sure. |

428 | A companion that you chat with to keep track of your health symptoms. I was inspired by seeing family members go to their doctors appointments and not knowing the important symptoms to report in their short appointments.Right now, it's Ruth, a companion you can WhatsApp with. She will take your history and record your symptoms, then you can ask her to summarise it before your appointment.Try out the prototype on WhatsApp: +1 (516) 734-6593(It's not HIPAA compliant and shares data with LLM providers currently, so best to use a fake patient profile if you're interested) |
155 | I'm tinkering away on a turn-based web game that will ideally mix Counter-Strike with something like Door Kickers / Frozen Synapse etc.Ideally a way to let people lay out strategies and see them executed by a team, go on - prove you're the best IGL!It's slow going between a full time job and family life but really great to expand my mind into something that isn't "web dev". |
128 | I'm a tech exec who misses their physics roots. In my spare time I'm interviewing "materials manufacturers" to come up with a viable startup idea. I'm hoping to build a company that leverages simulation and ML to accelerate material discovery.Keeping key bits of the idea to myself. If this admittedly vague idea excites you let's find some time to talk. |
563 | Currently studying the segment anything model family (1 and 2 & everything in-between).I read the abstract a while ago and I was fascinated by the methodology. |
542 | I'm working on a tool directory that lets you run then directly without multiple subscriptions.https://www.arible.co |
397 | I've been messing around with an e-ink Spectra 6 full colour display. Colours are so much better than Gallery, but the contrast isn't as good. Still makes for better looking photos. I'm merging support in my DIY smart picture frame project this weekend (https://github.com/DDoS/Cadre).I'm trying to get my hands on a larger display, but man does the e-ink public documentation suck. Still looking for some actual complete documentation and sample driver schematics for the 13" and larger models. |

126 | I've been working on an iOS app called snapmail: lets you take any photo on your phone, filter / sticker it, and send it as a 4x6 postcard anywhere in the U.S. for $2.99. Fun way to stay in touch with friends & fam. One of a few no-account-needed, single use iOS apps I've been working on.TestFlight for now - try it out here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/wKY4eYV8 |
272 | I’ve been realizing that while I’ve found an incredibly effective solution to a problem I keep having, it does not automatically lend itself to becoming a wildly thriving business. If the problem that is being solved is a somewhat infrequent one (once a year or less), and not applicable to a super-wide audience (think Facebook), then it simply won’t result in enough business to commit to fully.I built a domain hunter (with availability checks) for .com domains based on idea prompts and while I see people purchase domains all the time through it, they won’t even shell out $3 to get any extras or a list of more than three domain ideas or so. Zero willingness to pay anything, but high success rates on search and result conversion. |
625 | Analyzing data to assess Frontoparietal - default mode network interactions in intellectual disability in autism. |
214 | I am trying to build a algotrading system for myself.
I have reached the stage where it acts as my co-pilot and I can read graphs and take trade, but I am now stuck to make it fully automated. |
199 | Open source presenter software. The idea is anything you want to show on screen, all can be controlled through a single page. Useful for any events like concert, conference, camps, etc. You can also use it for digital signage.Very early stage right now but I hope to release alpha soon. I'm already using it privately right now but there's a lot to do to make it user friendly.https://github.com/Vija02/TheOpenPresenter |
26 | I'm working on a CI/CD tool that runs scripts in the some of the most popular programming languages rather than YAML.My motivation has been some recent jobs/roles in which no-pipeline-feature-gets-denied YAML scripts have grown unmanageably large.I'd be interested to hear of any pitfalls that any of you might foresee. Other than this is a pretty hefty undertaking - that much I can already see on my own. :-)https://fluenci.co |
162 | Mostly just learning Finnish. I tried to get started on the Georgia Tech online master's in CS, but between that, a quite stressful full-time job, and a happy pregnant wife, I just found it was stretching my nerves too thin.I'll come back to it once I'm farther along in my language learning journey and want to take my foot off the gas pedal a bit. |
303 | I'm tring to write a minimal tool in Go to deploy and manage CD for my self-hosted projects.I've tried many things but still none fit exactly my needs (I deploy many static websites so I want that to be effortless but I still want to be able to do continuous deployment on git+docker based projects). I know about Dokku and is probably what I should have learned to use but this way I can also challenge myself on a medium Go project |
253 | I'm a materials science/engineering critter. I'm working on a new method of making single-crystal diamond slabs up to 300mm diameter. |
473 | I'm making a cyberpunk-like ttrpg system, that should be roughly backwards compatible with the old gear catalogs. But it adds better progressions, some fairly innovative (I think) die rolling systems that make better use of party skills, and a number of ways that roleplay changes the rules, and visa versa. |
290 | Bungee is our audio stretching library. It can change music tempo and pitch effortlessly in real time on all common devices and browsers.Bungee is unique in its quality, performance and controllability.

633 | I’ve built a tool that allows anyone to add an AI chatbot to their website. There are lots of features I would like to add but I’m making the jump into sales and marketing work by starting a youtube channel to promote the product.https://chattysun.com |
561 | I’m working on a pretty cool private equity platform at Pactio.It’s probably the most complicated product I've ever worked on. The team is incredible & I’m lucky to be surrounded by incredibly talented people. Our head of engineering is a fantastic person too, so it makes working here so easy!In my spare time I’m working on an AI assistant. I thought I would try sell it first, but given the ramp uptake I’ll probably open source it. |
161 | I have been recently thinking about the NP-complete class of problems particularly the knapsack problem (it is easy to understand and attack). And I think it is really solvable in polynomial time. I actually tried and posted my solution here.

59 | I’ve been working on robotics for a few months now. I have built an arm, started receiving parts for my quadruped, and have learned enough RL to at least hold opinions on it (my background is ML/LLM training, so a bit different).Eventual goal before I return to work next year is to have a robot I can take on walks with me that will pick up trash. |
154 | I have been working on creating a hosting project where I can provide access to lots of private frontends (invidious, redlib, etc) and different services (vaultwarden, nextcloud, etc), etc. I have been setting up glusterFS (a distributed nfs) which I can use in Docker swarm to share the volumes for different nodes. I would wanna work on writing a distributed nfs once I am done with this small project |
203 | Smart assistant for kids that takes on the personality of their toys. Christmas gift for my nieces and nephews, so I am building four of them.Raspberry Pi5 + RFID reader, touchscreen, and some 3d printed enclosures. Going to get a lightweight LLM to run on the Pi5 and some custom interactive software.I just started this project about two weeks ago, but I've been tinkering with the hardware side of electronics lately and this is the culmination of about 18 months of various hobby projects. |
498 | I quit my job in the spring to work on UI design software where designers visually build real component and design system implementations, and engineers can collaborate by editing the code.The goal is to eliminate the massive chasm that exists in design-to-engineering hand-off by having a single source of truth. |
537 | I dusted off an old project today. It's a browser based CHIP-8 emulator with a built in editor.https://chip8.dotslashdan.com/I added the ability to import/export ROMs and finally added some of documentation....Plenty bugs left to fix |
583 | I am currently working on CyberScraper-2077 its a powerful web scraper powered by LLM.https://github.com/itsOwen/CyberScraper-2077 |
238 | My friends and I are working on https://supermemory.ai, an AI second brain to help you remember content from saved webpages and notes |
287 | https://zimly.app is an open-source S3 media backup app that I've been working on in my free time.The last few months I've been trying to get the real-time upload speed to display nicely, which proved to be harder than anticipated. But I think I've got a good solution now and might roll a new release today.My goal is to have a few thousands downloads by the end of the year. Marketing is hard, also because it's less rewarding than programming features, so I tend to pick a new feature instead of writing a blog post or polishing the website. |
228 | Few recent side projects:- a fact management tool based on a timeline. I have a complex legal situation, so I created a tool to store information about events. I can prioritize and tag the events, attach files to them, and have small workflow on them, and then filter the timeline based on the tags/priorities/workflow states. It is very helpful, because the amount of events and data was too much to handle mentally. I am using Django/HTMX/AlpineJS.- a dance event calendar for dance events in Finland, where both artists and venues can add events. The data is stuctured, which allows me to make views for each performer, venue etc. Mostly Django, but some HTMX/AlpineJS as well for complex screens- for the dance event calendar, I have created a support site that uses ChatGPT to handle two first steps for incoming support emails/questions. First it categorizes the question, and then tries to answer it based on FAQ. If it fails, it summarizes the issue (and possibly asks few basic questions related to it) and forwards it to me. |
123 | I'm one of the people working on Prodigy Reloaded (https://prodigyreloaded.com), recreating the Prodigy server to work with the client software in DOS and Mac. The new server software is written in Elixir.My part has been to generate news headlines and weather maps using current news and weather information. The most interesting part for me has been deciphering the 1980's era graphics format, NAPLPS, which Prodigy uses and making a library to write files in the format. I treat the file format as a data transformation, taking the NAPLPS file generated so far and appending more commands to the end of it. The commands naturally pipe into each other in an idiomatic way in Elixir. |
217 | Working on an audio watermarking system.I've got the API ready, which requires 2 main values:
- The original file ( which can be sent as a file, or hosted internally and requested using an ID )
- The data that needs to be printed into the audio file.The API will return a watermarked version of the audio file that you can use later to extract the same data you sent before.It's currently being tested on a production website, will wait for feedback, improve, and create an actual service out of the API. |
527 | I made https://rascalhq.com, just to experiment with embeddings and because I wanted to see what kind of “advice” Shakespeare and Warren Buffet would give me for various queries. |
124 | I have been reading the Reinforcement Learning textbook for the past three years religiously- didn’t get the concepts clear until this week, made it past Chapter 3 finally. The excellent YT lectures by David Silver and Emma Brunskill have been helpful but it took me a long time to ‘get it’.Next, I will try to build something using RL next but try not to use the Gym/Farama stuff to force myself to learn this from scratch. |
354 | I built a chrome plugin to scrape data.It's pretty good for List and Lead extraction.

506 | Myself.More specifically, my mental health. I'm a bit of a mess, and I'm not sure I'll be able to properly commit to any external endeavors until I'm feeling better inside. |
462 | Exploring adding the (novel?) concept of forward and backward packet loss heuristics to Trippy [1] as discussed here [2].[1] https://github.com/fujiapple852/trippy/issues/860[2] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38591945 |
167 | I am working on an open book Library and a "new" D-Licence.It is an experiment for the exploration of the free aspect of blockchain storage, where the book library is now permanently hosted on the blockchain, and it's content voted upon by its members.The licence is based on creative commons, and enforces that the data is decentralized and doesn't need any account, or wallet, to use.There is also the creation of a new label, the D-Safe label, for a safe experience across generations.A fun side project - which I have been working on for several years now - rewriting it fully already 10 times - and been restructuring my mental health around it. |
295 | Working on a game that parents of young gamers can play together without the child being frustrated or the parent being bored :) |
