I started developing a city builder called Metropolis 1998 [1], but wanted to take the genre in new directions, building on top of what modern games have to offer:

- Watch what's happening inside buildings and design your own (optional)

- Change demand to a per-business level

- Bring the pixel art 3D render aesthetic back from the dead (e.g RollerCoaster Tycoon) [2]

I just updated my Steam page with some recent snapshots from my game. Im really happy with how the game is turning out!

Also working on a language for embedded bare-metal devices with built-in cooperative multitasking.

A lot of embedded projects introduce an RTOS and then end up inheriting the complexity that comes with it. The idea here is to keep the mental model simple: every `[]` block runs independently and automatically yields after each logical line of code.

There is also an event/messaging system:

- Blocks can be triggered by events: `[>event params ...]`

- Blocks can wait for events internally

- Events can also be injected from interrupts

This makes it easy to model embedded systems as independent state machines while still monitoring device state.

Right now it’s mostly an interpreter written in Rust, but it can also emit C code. I’m still experimenting with syntax.

Example:

    module WaterTank {
      type Direction = UP|DOWN
      let direction = UP
      let current = 0

      [>open_valve direction |> direction]
      [>update level |> current]

      [
        for 0..30 |> iteration {
          when direction {
            UP   -> !update level=current + 1 |> min(100)
            DOWN -> !update level=current - 1 |> max(0)
          } ~
          %'{iteration} {current}'
        }
      ]

      [>update level |> when {
          0..10  -> %'shallow'
          11..15 -> %'good'
          16..   -> %'too much!' then !open_valve direction=DOWN
        }
      ]
    }

I'm building a lightweight screen recorder for macOS. It supports lots of features you'd expect from a professional screen recorder such as ProRes 422/4444, HEVC/H.265, and H.264, capturing alpha channels and supports HDR. Frame rates from 24 to 120fps. Can capture system audio and mic simultaneously. You can also exclude specific things from recordings, like the menu bar, dock, or wallpaper.

No tracking, no analytics, no cloud uploads, no account. MIT licensed. Everything stays on your Mac. Still early, but happy to hear feedback!

Pipeline so far has gone like this:

* Use the search engine's API to query a bunch of depravity

* Use qwen3.5 to label the search results and generate training data

* Try to use fasttext to create a fast model

* Get good results in theory but awful results in practice because it picks up weird features

* Yolo implement a small neural net using hand selected input features instead

* Train using fasttext training data

* Do a pretty good job

* for (;;) Apply the model to real a world link database and relabel positive findings with qwen to provide more training data

Currently this is where I'm at

  Accuracy:   90.90%
  True  Positive: 1021
  False Positive: 154
  True  Negative: 2816
  False Negative: 230
  Precision:  0.8689

We’ve continued to get some paid customers and have exited beta last week, given everyone seemed to be quite satisfied and there hadn't been requests for changes, only some specific search providers.

Because of bots there isn’t a free trial easily available, but if you’re a human and you’d like to try it for a couple of days for free, reach out with your account number and we’ll set that up!

Thanks.

P.S.: Because people have asked before, our tech stack is intentionally very "boring" (as in, it generates and serves the HTML + bits of JS to enhance settings and such — search can be done without JS), using Deno in the backend (for easier TypeScript), PostgreSQL for the DB, and Docker for easier deploying.

It's an addictive slot machine where I pull the lever and the dials spin as I hope for the sound of a jackpot. 999 out of 1000 winning models do so because of look-ahead bias, which makes them look great but are actually bad models. For example, one didn't convert the time zone from UTC to EST, so five hours of future knowledge got baked into the model. Another used `SELECT DISTINCT`, which chose a value at random during a 0–5 hour window — meaning 0–5 hours of future knowledge got baked in. That one was somehow related to Timescale hypertables.

Now I'm applying the VIX formula to TSLA options trades to see if I can take research papers about trading with VIX and apply them to TSLA.

Whatever the case, I've learned a lot about working with LLM agents and time-series data, and very little about actually trading equities and derivatives.

(I did 100% beat SPY with a train/out-of-sample test, though not by much. I'll likely share it here in a couple weeks. It automates trading on Robinhood, which is pretty cool.)

It feels like a small change, but it really makes sense in my brain and I'm glad I finally made it happen. My services feel properly positioned under these distinct brands. Now of course when I get time I need to redesign both of my own websites.

Ideas wise... I like the static website world. I use 11ty, but there are others moving in this direction. Clean, performant, simple html / css / js websites that should last for decades. I like the idea of publishing them to IPFS, creating an indie web with some permanence to it.

We just launched a portfolio for Director of Photography Joel Honeywell: https://joelhoneywell.com/

This is a simple static site, no CMS, built with 11ty.

So you can use it to write UIs in web and use them either as regular Qt widgets or as stand-alone webapps with regular node backend.

It's really the wrong way around if you think about it.. using an inferior technology (web) for the UI part.. But somehow people prefer typing CSS and downloading gigabytes of boilerplate instead of just using a WYSIWYG designer.. I don't get that part..

The front bump out leaks when we get driving rain. I installed some flashing but that wasn't enough, it's still leaking. So I'm working on that so I can close up the big hole in the ceiling some day.

The prior owners filled in the old coal chute with literal bags of cement sort of artistically placed in the hole in the brick foundation. So I'm trying to figure out what masonry tools and skills I'll need to close it up proper.

It worked well enough that the novels were better than the median novel aimed at my son's age group, but I'm pretty sure we can do better.

There are web-based tools to help fiction authors to keep their stories straight: they use some data structures to store details about the world, the characters, the plot, the subplots etc., and how they change during each chapter.

I am trying to make an agent skill that has two parts:

- the SKILL.md that defines the goal (what criteria the novel must satisfy to be complete and good) and the general method

- some other md files that describe different roles (planner, author, editor, lore keeper, plot consistency checker etc.)

- a python file which the agent uses as the interface into the data structure (I want it to have a strong structure, and I don't like the idea of the agent just editing a bunch of json files directly)

For the first few iterations, I'm using cheap models (Gemini Flash ones) to generate the stories, and Opus 4.6 to provide feedback. Once I think the skill is described sufficiently well, I'll use a more powerful model for generation and read the resulting novel myself.

She sells a product with 16 different printed parts, and she prints the parts in bulk batches across 7 different pause points, some of which have pause points for embedding magnets.

The idea is to integrate inventory management and print scheduling into the tool, which will be nice.

I have working so far: * Pulling camera images * Pulling the currently printing file, including the preview image (rendered in bambu studio and bundled with the print; standard for bambu studio), and the pause points * A dashboard with projected timing information * Notifications about jobs starting, stopping & pausing * Remote printer control

Next on the list: * Delayed printing - schedule a print to start in the night. Mostly useful so that if there's a pause point we don't leave a print paused for hours on end. * Print queueing - manually build a list of prints so that after switching plates we can just "next print" for a printer * Print scheduling - select a quantity of print files or groups of files to print, and have it schedule the prints, including projected switch times, to maximize printer utilization by avoiding jobs ending at night * Tracking magnet & filament usage, and integrating BoM and production quantity tracking.

I've been mostly AI coding this, but I've go in to make it extract out components, etc. And I lay down and enforce the DB schema. I've had to ask it to back out a few things entirely. And I've had to give it the Bambu API docs I found github. But it's been going pretty well.

Opus has been amazingly useful at answering various statistics question that I had for it, and my current idea is a nested auction market theory inspired model. My biggest discovery is that replacing time with volume on the x axis (on a chart) and putting the bar duration on the bottom panel instead of volume normalizes the price movements and makes some of the profitable setups I've seen described in tape reading/price ladder trading courses actually visible on naked charts. A great insight I've gleamed is that variance should be proportional to volume instead of time or trade count. When plotted, it has the effect of expanding high volume areas, and compressing low volatility ones, which exposes trending price action much more readily. It honestly amazing, it's making me think that I could actually win at the trading game.

The stock firmware is horrible but the community has this firmware called CrossPoint. I wanted to be able to upload, manage files etc. from my iPhone on the go and also send over web articles. So I build this app CrossPoint Sync https://crosspointsync.com to do just that.

I've already published it on App Store and pending publishing on Android. The community is niche and has also been using the app, so its been fun building for my use and in turn also getting good feedback from community.

If you are using the Xteink and CrossPoint firmware, then give the app a try.

I’m working on CodeYam. We just recently released a lightweight CLI and a feature called CodeYam Memory. The immediate motivation was that when using Claude Code, the AI would repeat the same mistakes and our claude.md files would get stale too quickly to manually maintain. The existing options, including Anthropic’s built-in memory features, didn’t really solve the memory challenge sufficiently for us.

CodeYam Memory runs a background agent that reviews coding session transcripts, looks for patterns of confusion, and generates targeted rules with proper scoping.

It’s a small first step toward the longer-term idea I'm exploring: what an AI-native development experience should actually look like. For now, it’s packaged as a lightweight CLI you can use anywhere you’re running Claude Code.

How to try it:

Install: npm install -g @codeyam/codeyam-cli@latest

Then, from your project root run: codeyam

This will launch a dashboard with further instructions for initializing CodeYam Memory.

Free, runs locally, no login required, and language agnostic. Would love feedback.

I also intend to dig into how to integrate Emacs with tools such as yt-dlp and patreon-dl to grab Latin-language audio content from the Internet, transcode the audio with ffmpeg, load it into the LLM's context window, and send it off for transcription. If the essay isn't already too long, I'll demonstrate how to gather forced-alignment data using local models such as wav2vec2-latin so I can play audio snippets of Latin texts directly from a transcription buffer in Emacs. Lastly, I want show how to leverage Gemini to automatically create multimedia flash cards in Org mode using the anki-editor Emacs minor mode for sentence mining.

Targeted towards music producers and AI (there's one collection of snippets that starts an MCP server and exposes some basic functionality) in the beginning.

by merlindru

The result is an experiment called fesh. It works strictly as a deterministic pre-processor pipeline wrapping LZMA (xz). The AI kept identifying "structural entropy boundaries" and instructed me to extract near-branches, normalize jump tables, rewrite .eh_frame DWARF pointers to absolute image bases, delta-encode ELF .rela structs with ZigZag mappings, and force column transpositions before compressing them in separated LZMA channels.

Surprisingly, it actually works. The CI strictly verifies that compression is perfectly reversible (bit-for-bit identity match) across 103 Alpine Linux x86_64 packages. According to the benchmarks, it consistently produces smaller payloads than xz -9e --x86 (XZ BCJ), ZSTD, and Brotli across the board—averaging around 6% smaller than maximum XZ BCJ limits.

I honestly have no idea how much of this is genuinely novel versus standard practices in extreme binary packing (like Crinkler/UPX).

Repo: https://github.com/mohsen1/fesh

For those who know this stuff:

Does this architecture have any actual merits for standard distribution formats, or is this just overfitting the LZMA dictionary to Alpine's compiler outputs? I'd love to hear from people who actually understand compression math.

by mohsen1

One of the issues I encountered initially was that the LLMs were repeating a small set of actions and never trying some of the more experimental actions. With a bit of prompt tweaking I was able to get them to branch out a bit, but it still feels like there's a lot of room for improvement on that front. I still haven't figured out how to instill a creative spark for exploration through my prompting skills.

It has been quite exciting to see how quickly a few simple rules can lead to emergent storytelling. One of the actions I added was the ability for the agents to pray to the creator of their world (i.e. me) along with the ability for me to respond in a separate cycle. The first prayer I received was from an agent that decided to wade into a river and kneel, just to offer a moment in stillness. Imagining it is still making me smile.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to enough compute to run a bigger experiment, but I think it would be really interesting to create lots of seed worlds / codebases which exist in a loop. With the twist being that after each cycle the agents can all suggest changes to their world. This would've previously been quite difficult, but I think it could be viable with current agentic programming capabilities. I wonder what a world with different LLM distributions would look like after a few iterations. What kind of worlds would Gemini, Claude, Grok, or ChatGPT create? And what if they're all put in the same world, which ones become the dominant force?

Basically an API wrapping a cyclic graph where rules govern the state transitions / graph traversal (i.e. rules around handing off work between agents and the associated review, rollback and human intervention escalation logic).

It's mostly just to teach myself about multiagent patterns and what blend of "agentic autonomy" and deterministic / human governance gets the best results with the current set of (Anthropic) tools available.

I don't really know what I'm doing w.r.t AI, but having 15 years of industry SWE experience (high-availability distributed systems and full-stack web dev) on top of a fairly-solid CS education I feel like I know what the results of a working system should be and I'm learning a lot about the AI pieces as I go through trial and error.

Generally it feels like there are lots of ways the next generation of AI-assisted coding workflows could work best (beyond just "AI helps write code", I mean) and the results will be as much about the tooling built around the AI bits as it will be the improvements in models / AI bits themselves (barring a theoretical breakthrough in the space).

Trying to figure out what my personal dev workflow will look like in the middle of this evolving landscape is what led to this project, very much a scratch my own itch thing.

The most fun is a simple Claude Code in a loop, Boucle, which builds and iterates on its own framework[0][1].

The first thing it built was a persistent memory. Now it has finally built itself a "self-observation engine" after countless nudging attempts. Exploring, probing, and trying to push back the limits of these models is pure chaos, immensely frustrating, but also fun.

Aside from that, some sort of agent harness I guess we call them? Putting together a "system" / "process" with automated reviews to both steer agents, ground them (drift is a huge pain), and somehow ensure consistency while giving them enough leeway to exploit their full capabilities. Nothing ready to share yet, but I feel that without it I’ll just keep teetering on the edge of burnout.

I have a fairly novel approach to operating it, and in the case of one time theft prevention security through obscurity is actually a great approach. The assailant only has a short time to pull the car apart and solve the puzzle, couple that with genuine security techniques, a physical aspect, and it should be pretty foolproof.

It can still be towed away, etc, not much to be done there except brute force physical blocks. Most cars get stolen here to do crime in that night so it's not as common.

Models are the new software. And just like software, three general-purpose ones won't be enough. Why specialized models are inevitable https://mixtrain.ai/blog/special-models

Here's how Mixtrain can help:

  - Multimodal dataset management: version, query, inspect, and curate image/video/3D datasets
  - Workflows & models: train and run your models on serverless GPUs. Run experiments rapidly and ship to production. Access 100s of external models through the same API.
  - Live eval: create instant evals from your datasets with side-by-side comparison of anything — images, time-synced video, 3D/4D visualizations, masks, and more. Here's an example video eval https://app.mixtrain.ai/s/eVRwOcb7KhUZOb9xbFFgfHIuF0jyJUaBT6TKNg19OfU. Evals stay current as your datasets evolve.

I've wanted this for a long time, so I finally started building it. I've had a lot fun!

- Graph-based signal flow: Products become nodes, connections are edges inferred from port compatibility (digital, analog, phono, speaker-level domains)

- Port profile system: Standardized port definitions (direction, domain, connector, channel mode) enable automatic connection inference

- Rule engine: Pluggable rules check completeness, power matching, phono stage requirements, DAC needs, and more

It’s like netflix for language, where users can select/create their personal bilangual stories.

I had quite a lot of feedback from HN, friends, random people on the internet and trying to solve the common pain points and find my way around to make it geniunely useful.

- Most people said it’s hard to come up with a story, so I added url grounding. Also added buttons (including HN :)) so people can just click click and get their stories at their level with their interests.

- Made sure people can generate stories without ever signing up

- Each word is highlighted while being read, and the meanings can be checked with a tap. I also added an option for users to read the sentence for being checked how good their pronounciation is.

- Benchmarked 7 different models to get the fastest & highest quality story generation (it’s gemini now) and it’s insanely fast. I might share more about it on the webpage because I am an engineer and I enjoy this stuff lol.

- Added CSV import in Use my words so Anki users can just import their words to study.

- Also people can download their stories as pdf so they can send it to their kindles.

- I am working on a ChatGPT app, so people can just say “@DuoBook give me a Dutch/English story on latest Iranian events” within ChatGPT, but I am a bit afraid that it might be costly lol.

KPT is a language app specifically targeted at explainable verb conjugation for highly inflected/agglutinative languages. Currently works for Finnish, Ukrainian, Welsh, Turkish and Tamil.

These are really hard languages to learn for most speakers of European languages, particularly English - we're not used to complex verb conjugations, they're hard to memorise and the rules often feel quite arbitrary. Every other conjugation practice app just tells you right/wrong with no explanation, which doesn't really help you learn when there are literally hundreds of rules to get right.

The interesting part was using an LLM to create a complete machine-executable set of conjugation rules, which are optimized for human explainability, and an engine to diagnose which rule is at fault when you get it wrong. There's several hundred rules needed for each language in order to cover all exceptions.

NB as a bonus it also works fully offline because my best practice hours are when I'm travelling and have poor connectivity.

OH and it works on both Windows and MacOS! Fully open source too!

Separately I've been dipping my toes in to hosting things on the Scary Public Internet with an IRC server (as a backup/replacement for a personal Discord server) and a static Hugo website (for hosting fanfiction; there've been a few AO3 outages lately and I thought it would be fun to experiment with things like audio embeds). I'm a roboticist so my experience with webdev is pretty minimal, but I managed to figure out nginx eventually. I'm actually kind of frustrated with Hugo as an SSG because it really doesn't want you to run pandoc with custom arguments for markdown -> html conversion, and pandoc doesn't want to generate ToC on my markdown files, but the default markdown converter (goldmark) doesn't correctly process markdown italics inside of html tags (e.g. `<center>`), so my current compromise is to use pandoc on almost everything and goldmark anywhere I care about having a ToC.

Why? Many yarncrafters painstakingly build spreadsheets, or try to bend existing general purpose pixel editors to their will. It's time consuming & frustrating.

Along the way, I've solved a bunch of problems:

  - Automatic decreases (shapes the hat) / overstitching markers (shows when multiple colors are used in the same row)
  - Parameterized designs, like waves, trees, geometric shapes. No more manually moving an object by a couple of pixels, it's a simple click & drag.
  - Color palette merging (can't delete a color if you already use it in a pattern!)
  - Export to PDF (so you can print it or stick it on a tablet)
  - Repeat previews (visualize the pattern as it repeats horizontally)

If you drag a shape near the right edge of the canvas, you'll see it "wrapping around" onto the right edge.

This reflects the 3D reality of a hat!

I have some barebones content at https://struggle-meals.wonger.dev/ and will be working on the design over the next few weeks. Some decisions I'm thinking about:

- balancing between personal convenience and brevity vs being potentially useful for other people. E.g. should I tag everything that's vegan/vegetarian/GF/dairyfree/halal/etc? Should I take pictures of everything? (I'd rather not)

- how simple can I make a recipe without ruining it? E.g. can I omit every measurement? should I separate nice-to-have ingredients from critical ingredients? how do I make that look uncomplicated? (Sometimes the worst thing is having too many options)

- if/how to price things? Depends on region, season, discounts, etc

I tried quite a few finance apps over the years, but they all felt too heavy for what I needed. I mainly wanted the fastest possible way to record a transaction before I forget it.

The core interaction is basically:

enter amount → tap category → saved

No save button, no forms, no subscriptions. Just quick manual entry, a simple overview, and a ledger. Data syncs via iCloud so it’s backed up automatically.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ledgee/id6759487219

I’m curious whether other people also prefer manual entry over bank integrations.

Applications on the public cloud raise strong concerns about data protection. As an architect, I spend a meaningful part of my time ensuring the security of customers’ data in the cloud.

Bao introduces an innovative approach where data remains on local devices while the cloud provides encrypted storage for synchronization and peer exchange. Because cloud providers cannot access the data, the need for due diligence is reduced.

Any feedback is welcome.

It's like a carfax but for your home, although the intention is more to create an interesting historical narrative that inspires people to care about the history of their home rather than as a tool for inspecting home issues before buying.

My target customer is realtors who want to inspire buyers to take on historic homes that may need a lot of work. Also home owners themselves of course.

A 2D game programming language with automatic multiplayer. Normally when you make a multiplayer game, you have to constantly think about how every bit of state is going to be synchronized. Easel bakes the multiplayer into the programming language itself, underneath all your code, so you can just code as if all players are in one shared world, like a singleplayer game, and Easel just makes your game multiplayer completely automatically. It’s intended as a fun way for beginners to learn to code - like a combination of Scratch and Roblox.

I've given myself 6 months

It's a bit scary basically 180ing like this but I figure if I don't try it now I never will

I've already started prototyping various ideas, and to be honest just sitting down and spending time doing this has been really quite lovely

One thing I'm finding fun is slowly unearthing what I actually find interesting

I started with messing around in minecraft and tinkering with rimworld-like game ideas, but I'm slowly moving away from them as I've been tinkering more and more

Don't get me wrong, I do want to revisit them at some point in the future, but I do find myself circling more around narrative, simulations and zachlikes

It's a bit of an odd mix and in some ways they look like paradox style games, but I'm well aware that taking one of those behemoths on is going to be a bit silly, so I'm trying to slim down until I get to a kernel that I actually find enjoyable tinkering with

A toy if you will

Currently I'm trying to work out if there's anything interesting in custom unit design, basically unpicking how games like rollercoaster tycoon's coaster design maps to stats like excitement ratings and seeing how that might mix with old school point buy systems

It feels like it might be small enough to be a good toy and I'm having fun tinkering with it, but I have no idea whether other people will xD

It might honestly be too niche for anyone and I've successfully optimised for an audience of one :shrug:

Currently my mini-projects includes:

* 0% USA dependency, aim is 100% EU. Currently still using AWS SES for email-sending and GCP KMS for customer data key encryption for envelope encryption.

* Tool output compression, inspired by https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47193064 Added semantic search on top of this using a local model running on Hetzner. Next phase is making the entire chain envelop encrypted.

* "Firewall" for tool calls

* AI Sandboxes ("OpenClaw but secure") with the credential integration mentiond above

The hypothesis is that llms are better off getting the "big picture" by reading local files. They can then spend tokens to edit the document as per the business needs rather than spending tokens to figure out how to edit the document.

Another aspect is the security model. Extrasuite assigns a permission-less service account per employee. The agent gets this service account to make API calls. This means the agent only gets access to documents explicitly shared with it, and any changes it makes show up in version history separate from the user's changes.

Early release can be found over here - https://github.com/think41/extrasuite.

In the past month, as suggested by the previous user, I have added support for kicad schematic libraries. The kicad schematic libraries files are converted into circuitscript format and can be directly imported into circuitscript code. To support the large number of components in the kicad libraries, I had to improve the import functionality and also implement some caching to speed up the imports. With the kicad schematic libraries available now, it provides a larger library of components that can be used in circuitscript projects. The converted libraries can be found here: https://gitlab.com/circuitscript/kicad-libraries

The motivation for creating Circuitscript is to describe schematics in terms of code rather than graphical UIs after using different CAD packages extensively (Allegro, Altium, KiCAD) for work in the past. I wanted to spend more time thinking about the schematic design itself rather than fiddling around with GUIs.

Please check it out and I look forward to your feedback, especially if you are also exploring alternative ways to create schematics. Thanks!

- chef personalities generating interesting recipes every couple days

- the ability to save and edit these recipes to suit your needs/ingredients

- the ability to schedule weekly meal plan generations that take the inspiration content and give you a plan and shopping list for the week.

We had our first kid this year and I've been having more trouble getting things together for home cooked meals. This is my attempt to make it is frictionless as possible. I'm working on getting instacart API access so I can build out the cart for the meal plan automatically, at which point I'm hoping this is a one click confirmation a week to keep interesting food flowing. Works great for scheduling baby meals as well!

A browsable map of internet infrastructure. Not just a collection of lookup tools, but it also interlinks results, so you can navigate linked assets as well. Think: DNS lookup -> SPF record -> mail provider's SPF record -> IP address details.

Right now, actively building and growing https://OpenScout.so which is a tool for tracking mentions on Reddit, Linkedin, Twitter and HN. This is primarily made for early stage SaaS founders to help them with brand visibility problem.

Also, I don't support bots so we will never built bot solutions. This is against most of the ToS of platforms. I started this because I truly realised that building has commoditised and the go to market is the real deal. This tool helps with that. I'm going to add more features and I would love for you to try it.

For all the places it's bad at, AI has been fantastic for making targeted data experiences a lot more accessible to build (see MotherDuck and dives, etc), as long as you can keep the actual data access grounded. Years of tableau/looker have atrophied my creativity a bit, trying to get back to having more fun.

The problem was the ML dependencies. The backend uses BGE-small-en-v1.5 for embeddings and FAISS for vector search. Both are C++/Python. Using them from Go means CGO, which means a C toolchain in your build, platform-specific binaries, and the end of go get && go build.

So I wrote both from scratch in pure Go.

goformer (https://www.mikeayles.com/blog/goformer/) loads HuggingFace safetensors directly and runs BERT inference. No ONNX export step, no Python in the build pipeline. It produces embeddings that match the Python reference to cosine similarity > 0.9999. It's 10-50x slower than ONNX Runtime, but for my workload (embed one short query at search time, batch ingest at deploy time) 154ms per embedding is noise.

goformersearch (https://www.mikeayles.com/blog/goformersearch/) is the vector index. Brute-force and HNSW, same interface, swap with one line. I couldn't justify pulling in FAISS for the index sizes I'm dealing with (10k-50k vectors), and the pure Go HNSW searches in under 0.5ms at 50k vectors. Had to settle for HNSW over FAISS's IVF-PQ, but at this scale the recall tradeoff is fine.

The interesting bit was finding the crossover point where HNSW beats brute-force. At 384 dimensions it's around 2,400 vectors. Below that, just scan everything, the graph overhead isn't worth it. I wrote it up with benchmarks against FAISS for reference.

Together they're a zero-dependency semantic search stack. go get both libraries, download a model from HuggingFace, and you have embedding generation + vector search in a single static binary. No Python, no Docker, no CGO.

Is it better than ONNX/FAISS? Heck no. I just did it because I wanted to try out Go.

The basic idea is daters "teach" an algorithm what they like and then the algorithm uses the collective set of preferences to match everybody (or as many as possible) for single in-app "get to know you" chats. Everything is one-on-one to avoid overload and dead-end chats.

I now have working versions in the app stores and I'm currently testing in Seattle.

I was sick of getting cross-eyed when looking at tables in raw markdown and was just running it locally. This weekend I realized it might be useful for others.

The goal was simple as possible UX. Open url, drag and drop or paste into wysiwyg -> very readable and editable markdown. No sign up, no tracking, no fuss.

Of note, if you copy from the richtext mode, it copies raw markdown. The inverse is done with paste.

Based on feedback, I am working on very optional cloud-sync for as cheap as I can make it.

The filtering was easy, but RSS doesn't do "from the beginning" (RFC 5005 exists, but is mostly unused), so scope crept into a webpage-to-RSS tool that lets me convert favorite.site/s/archive - autodetection of the article structure was a fun side quest.

The whole thing is a little function engine (Yahoo Pipes called), so the final goal is `merge(archive, live_feed) | drip(N items per D days)` to have the archive transition seamlessly into current content. I expect I can push that live tomorrow or so.

And of course Podcasts are just RSS, so hey, let's skip reruns. That's doable with filters on the episode description, but with history in place I'll add title similarity checking. I'm trying to think how to recognize cross-promoted episodes too, without having to crawl every podcast.

Importantly, Sponder's _not_ a client. There are enough clients, any many are great. Each implements some subset of features, so Sponder's an intermediary that consumes and publishes pure RSS for us to use anywhere we want.

Project two started over the weekend and is the NYTimes' Pips, but colors. You're building a stained glass window with regional constraints, and the big difference from using dominos is colors can mix. Also, triangles! The engine works, and I'm designing the tutorial and first handful of puzzles now.

Free Math Sheets is a tool to generate math worksheet PDFs (and the answer keys if required). Currently it supports K-5 but I want to expand it to higher levels of math (Calculus, Physics, you name it!). You select a bunch of different options and then generate it. All in the front-end. No back-end or login in required. https://www.freemathsheets.com

If you are interested in helping out or forking it, here is the github repo github.com/sophikos/free-math-sheets

The paid project is Numerikos. I am going for something in between Khan Academy and Math Academy. I like the playfulness and answer input methods from Khan Academy (but it is linear, doesn't have a good way to go back and practice, etc.). I like Math Academy's algorithm (but it has multiple choice answers, yuck! and is easy to get stuck and doesn't have a good way to explore on your own). Currently Numerikos supports 4th and 5th grade math lessons and practice. The algorithm is based on mastery learning like Numerikos, but you can also see a list of all the skills and practice whatever you want. I am also working on a dashboard system where you can build your own daily/weekly practices for the skills you care about. Next up is 6th grade math and placement tests.

So I started by adding the ability to define syllable structure in the rules file, then I tried running the syllable rule through the same compiler I used for the regular sound change rules. It ended up being even slower than I was anticipating, so I decided to skip the NFA to DFA conversion step and wrote a backtracking NFA runner. This worked _okay_, but if the syllable rule isn't able to fully match a word it ends up backtracking forever, and I never managed to figure out how to fix that.

Last year I read a post about parser combinators and I decided to rewrite the syllable detector. I finished the rewrite and then ran into an error and gave up. This last weekend I revisited it and it turned out it was just user error again; my syllable definition rule had a mistake, but thankfully the error was a lot easier to fix with the new design. Now it emits a warning, and I'm rewriting my sample sound changes rules to use the new boundary markers and hammering out any issues, which are a lot less than I was afraid of.

I'm thinking about rewriting the sound change rule compiler to use the same combinators I did for the syllable rules, but it would be kind of a shame after all the work I put into the DFA compiler lol

The current web tool lets you export to CSS, Tailwind and Figma, and uses HSLuv for the color picker. HSL color pickers that most design tools like Figma use have the very counterintuitive property that the hue and saturation sliders will change the lightness of a color (which then impacts its WCAG contrast), which HSLuv fixes to make it much easier to find accessible color combinations.

I'm working on a Figma plugin version so you can preview colors directly on a Figma design as you make changes. It's tricky shrinking the UI to work inside a small plugin window!

Each game adds more building blocks to the editor: multiplayer, event systems, NPC behaviors, pathfinding, etc. I build a system once, and then anyone using the editor can use it in a click.

Since my last month, I shipped the asset marketplace and the LLM builder. Artists can now upload tilesets and characters, and unlike itch.io, assets drop directly into the editor. You can preview how they'll actually look in-game before using them [1].

An other problem I kept running into: even with a no-code editor, users don't know where to start. So now I'm extending it with a coding agent. Describe the game you want, and it assembles it — pulling assets from the marketplace, wiring up the event system, and using all the building blocks I've spent the past year extracting. Multiplayer, mobile controls, pathfinding, NPC behaviors — the agent doesn't build any of it, just reaches for what's already there.

Once the LLM assembles it, users will have a game ready to work on, and will still be able jump into the editor and tweak everything [2]. Here's an example of what it can already make [3] (after a lot of prompting), and the goal is to reach games like this one I built with the manual editor[4].

Hoping to release the AI mode in a week or two. The manual editor is live at https://craftmygame.com in the meantime.

An important feature for me was improving the recipe discovery experience, you can build a cookbook from chefs you follow on socials (youtube for now), or import from any source (Web, or take pic of cookbook etc) - it then has tight / easy integration into recipe lists.

Each word needs to map to a physical action that actually reinforces the meaning. Solo dev, live in German app stores now.

Built it because I wanted to read more, but most reading apps either feel too passive or turn everything into social noise. What worked better for me was making reading easy to start: short 5–10 min sessions, pick up where you left off, minimal friction.

So the app is basically centered around habit formation, with stuff like notes, progress tracking, session extension, shelves, and simple organization.

I care a lot about keeping it quiet: no ads, no feed, no unnecessary clutter.

Still early. Mostly trying to understand what actually helps people read more consistently.

The first thing I cleaned up was TCL-Edit <https://gitlab.com/siddfinch/tcl-editor>, a small Tcl/Tk text editor I wrote a long time ago. After seeing the Rust clone of Microsoft EDIT, I realized the obvious next step was to build a Tcl/Tk clone of the Rust clone of Microsoft Edit. Recursion shouldn't be limited to code.

I also built a tiny URL system in Perl <https://gitlab.com/siddfinch/perl-tiny-url>, meant to run locally. The idea is simple: short URLs for internal/VPN resources per client. I usually spin up a small daemon (or container) per client and get a dashboard of links I use frequently or recently.

Security is intentionally minimal since it's local, which conveniently lets me ignore authentication and other responsible behavior.

Goal for the year: Continue to open stuff42.tar.gz, pick something, clean it up just enough, and release it, and not have it by the end of the year.

Might even choose a language that might even be described as "modern."

Most monitoring tools alert every time anything changes. That usually ends up being navigation tweaks or small copy edits. After a while the alerts just get ignored.

Adversa focuses on meaningful updates instead. It detects changes across competitor pages and uses AI to summarise what changed and why it might matter.

I originally built it because I was manually checking competitor pricing pages and changelogs. I also wanted something practical for smaller SaaS teams. A lot of existing tools are either enterprise-priced or the free tiers are too limited to be useful.

Still early and trying to learn what people actually want from this kind of tool.

1. Live Kaiwa — real-time Japanese conversation support

I live in a rural farming neighborhood in Japan. Day-to-day Japanese is fine for me, but neighborhood meetings were a completely different level. Fast speech, local dialect, references to people and events from decades ago. I'd leave feeling like I understood maybe 5% of what happened.

So I built a tool for myself to help follow those conversations.

Live Kaiwa transcribes Japanese speech in real time and gives English translations, summaries, and suggested responses while the conversation is happening.

Some technical details:

* Browser microphone streams audio via WebRTC to a server with Kotoba Whisper * Multi-pass transcription: quick first pass, then higher-accuracy re-transcription that replaces earlier text * Each batch of transcript is sent to an LLM that generates translations, summary bullets, and response suggestions * Everything is streamed back to the UI live * Session data stays entirely in the browser — nothing stored server-side

2. Cooperation Cube — a board game that rotates the playing field

Years ago I built a physical board game where players place sticks into a wooden cube to complete patterns on the faces.

The twist: the cube rotates 90° every round, so patterns you're building suddenly become part of someone else's board. It creates a mix of strategy, memory, and semi-cooperative play.

I recently built a digital version.

Game mechanics:

* 4 players drafting cards and placing colored sticks on cube faces * The cube rotates every 4 actions * Players must remember what exists on other faces * Cooperation cards allow two players to coordinate for shared bonuses * Game ends when someone runs out of short sticks

Both projects mostly started as things I wanted to exist for myself. Curious what people think.

I posted about it recently on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47199062):

It is at a fairly early stage of development, so it's quite rough around the edges. It is developed and hosted in EU.

I have started developing it as a slim wrapper around Git to serve my own code, but it grew to such extent that I decided to give it a try and offer it as a service. It doesn't have much at the moment, but it already has basic pull requests. Accessibility is high priority.

It will be a paid service, (free for contributors) but since it's an early start, an "early adopter discount" is applied – 6 months for free. No card details required.

I would be happy if you give it a try and let me know what do you think, and perhaps share what you lack in existing solutions that you would like to see implemented here.

I started it because I wanted a CAD I would actually enjoy using myself. The idea is a simpler, assembly-first workflow instead of a full engineering CAD.

It’s still very early and rough, but I recently got the first real loop working: model → export STL/STEP → slicer → 3D print.

The goal is something between Tinkercad and the big CAD tools - simple, local-first, and not locked behind subscriptions or cloud accounts.

The system allows users to submit a JSON payload containing geocoordinates and mission requirements (e.g., capture_type: "4K_video" | "IR_photo"), the backend then handles the fleet logistics, selecting the optimal VTOL units from distributed sub-stations based on battery state-of-charge and proximity.

After adding a couple of extra features and having a "finished" tracker, I will try re-implementing this tracker in React, Svelte, Vue, Preact and some others.

My goal for this project is twofold: to get familiar with these frameworks and to practice using AI as a personal tutor (leading my way and answering my questions).

I've tried learning React, Laravel, etc before, but I've used them to build a fresh project from scratch and I've always got stuck early on due to the lack of knowledge/understanding.

I hope that re-implementing something that I already know and understand fairly well would make my learning process much more effective.

i don't have much free time, but it's important to me to have healthy side projects, so here's what i'm working on:

- rsyncthing: A command-line CLI that lets users quickly bootstrap Syncthing fileshares to new hosts over SSH. No more "introduce devices to each other" song-and-dance.

- stringlines: i'm working on a small app for my own personal use that will help me plan transit in the NYC area better. A lot of map apps (Apple, Google, Transit, Citymapper) don't show recently-departed trips, making them much less useful for judging the feasibility of tight connections on the NJTransit rail lines. So I'm building out some infrastructure to record the GTFS-RT feeds and display them in a mobile-friendly format.

- slowly playing through all 70 the quake brutalist jam III maps to learn more about level design.

Most of these side projects are claude-free for now, mostly because I want to build domain expertise for myself before involving the agent tooling.

Most productivity apps make you do the organizing — projects, tags, priorities, fields. That's fine when you're calm. It's impossible when you're overwhelmed.

I'm building for the moment when your brain is full and you just need to dump everything out. You throw in voice, text, images, links — Ordr calls an LLM to parse intent, extract tasks vs. events, assign order, and surface one clear next action. No tagging, no sorting, no deciding. Just: here's what to do next.

Built with Flutter + Supabase + Groq/Cerebras. Still early.

Curious if anyone here has hit this wall — tried every app, built their own system, still feels broken. What did you actually need that nothing gave you?

We're constantly pulling info from official sources, and using AI to group and summarize into stories, and continue to share reporting from trusted, vetted journalists.

The result is news with the speed and breadth of getting updates straight from the source, and the perspective and context that reporting provides.

Still ramping up, but I'd love to hear feedback:

The problem: every agent (Cline, Aider, Codex, Claude Code) has unrestricted access to your filesystem, shell, and network. When they process untrusted content — a cloned repo, a dependency README — they’re prompt injection vectors with full machine access. No existing tool evaluates what the agent actually does at the syscall level.

grith wraps any CLI agent without modification. OS-level interception captures every file open, network call, and process spawn, then runs it through 17 independent security filters in parallel across three phases (~15ms total). Composite score routes each call: auto-allow, auto-deny, or queue for async review. Most will auto approve - which eliminates approval fatigue.

Also does per-session cost tracking and audit trails as a side effect of intercepting everything.

1 - actual css static analysis -- consume html + css, and provide tooling to preview what properties are inherited given the context you're in -- what you're overwriting, what display mode you're in. If there's inconsistent display modes depending on where in the html you are.

2 - a reactive html scripting language which using html as the source of truth, and synchronizes html elements through their relationships to each other

I have worked with data for a while. I feel like our tools could be much better when it comes to "flow". I want an experience where you don't need to alt+tab to slack/images/another query. What if we put it all on a canvas? That's what Kavla is all about!

Since last month I've done a lot of improvements to the editor to make the "flow" better.

I've also read up on HMAC, Nonces and fun encryption stuff to create read only boards.

The idea is: you join a meeting, hit start on the app, minimize, and go do actual work (or go make a coffee). When someone says your name or any keyword(s) you set, you get a native macOS notification with enough context to jump back in without looking lost. It uses whisper and is 100% local and doesnt leave traces, also very OE friendly.

Basically OpenClaw but with investing dashboards for my portfolio, additional tools specifically for investing, and exploring an AI-Human collaboration on researching economics (check the 'community' tab).

The data models are all in markdown and Excel so that there's no lockin and you can manually edit positions, personalities, etc.

This comes from frustration around most investing tools basically scraping your personal data + forcing you to lock into subscriptions. I think it's now possible to just vibe code most of what one needs, aside form raw data subscriptions.

It's all open source, too: https://github.com/wgryc/athena-os

A lot of existing databases are storage first, with everything else built around them. I have been exploring what it looks like if the database is closer to the application runtime itself, where state is live, queryable, and easier to reason about directly.

One thing I am prototyping right now is database-native tests.

Basically: what if integration tests were a database primitive?

CREATE TEST test::insert { INSERT test::users [{ id: 99, name: "Ghost" }]; FROM test::users | FILTER id == 99 | ASSERT { name == "Ghost" }; };

So not a wrapper, not a framework, not an external test runner.

A real test object inside the database.

The idea is that you could run these before schema changes, and make stored procedures or other database logic much easier to test without leaving the database model.

Still early, but it feels like one of those things that should just exist, especially for databases built around live application state.

We got tired of bouncing between a note-taking app and a task tracker. Notion combines them but it's slow and its offline capabilities are limited. Linear is fast but tasks-only. Obsidian is local-first and e2ee but single-player. So we're building Notello - notes and tasks in one deeply nestable tree, real-time multiplayer, works offline, e2e encrypted.

Reads/writes hit local SQLite first, sync happens in the background. That way everything is instant, you don't notice the network except in some very special use cases. Runs on web and desktop with shared core logic.

We're building it for powerusers like us who want IDE-like navigation, block editor, control over their data, granular sharing down to individual entries and more. Your work workspace and personal workspace live side by side, no switching workplaces.

Old website that needs refreshing (we failed to build it beyond an MVP a decade ago but armed with more experience, we're giving it our best this time): https://notello.com . Launching within the next few months!

I wrote a CLI utility last year to control my SoundBlasterx G6 DAC (can only control LED colour and EQ bands) without needing to use Creative's windows only program (I am mostly a Mac + occasional Linux) user.

Recently downloaded Qwen3-coder-next 80b model and been vibing with it to introduce Qt6 and write a dead simple (aka ugly) crossplatform GUI to it so that other people can use it on their Macs and Linux machines. Letting a LLM wreak havoc on your project feels bad, I constantly have to reign it in and rollback the repo once it starts looping due to writing something that doesn't compile, making it going back and forth between doing and undoing changes.

As many here, I've found that a single text file is all that I really need, but found that it makes it difficult to keep track of a variety of things. I was also trying to use the file as a simple project tracker, adding some tags like [BUG-N], and updating them by hand. Eventually, it became difficult to track the progress of things, since I had to jump around the file to look for updates.. or use grep.

I condensed the idea to just that - a very simple tool which manages "trackers", and has a simple filtering built in to "trace" the updates. I've been using it, since I've added the BE, and dogfooding it a bunch. Would love for fellow note takers to take a look. It's not perfect, but I'm keeping it around for myself :)

https://github.com/RedbackThomson/nix-tasks

I started this project because at my company, we're still relying on ancient Makefiles as our build system and build tool versioning. I initially looked at using other task runners but they all use some sort of DSL that I think limits their functionality and/or doesn't allow for sharing and extending templates across repos. Nix-tasks lets you use Nix flakes to share common configuration - like your company-wide build scripts - and then import it and add repo specific tasks on top of them.

The project is still very much in alpha but I am using it every day and trying to find any annoyances or bugs before I share it further.

Also wrote a small clone in Rust, just to try the language: https://github.com/epogrebnyak/justpath.rs

So far Python is easier for me, but I transferred some code organisation ideas from Rust to Python.

Extra benefit of Rust is that you can get a runnable binary, in Python, well there is a lot you are installing even for a simple utility.

Someone made a PR on brew installer for the Python utility, but it seems fully claude code and I'm not sure it is the best way to package brew.

Since then, I configured all the hardware (switches, router, server, bastion host, etc), put it in a real colo, and am doing BGP with one upstream (with a second upstream and some peers on the way). This means I'm officially part of the internet! E.g. https://bgp.tools/as/55078

I'm just working on some BGP and network hardening stuff, then I'll start putting real live services on the server. And in parallel, I'm working on getting the link from my home to the colo active, so I can be my own home internet provider.

I'm also using this as an experiment to see how to use AI tools to build a maintainable project of medium complexity. Too big to do in "one shot", but doable if decomposed into a few dozen tasks.

It's going well! I think I only started Saturday morning and put in maybe 4-5 hours on it, and it's in pretty decent shape. Not ready for prime time yet, but only a few hours away from replacing Cal.com for my own use. The slowest part is that I'm manually reviewing the code, but that's part of the deal for this experiment.

= Proofreading =

https://github.com/adhyeta-org-in/adhyeta-tools

provides image extraction from PDF, OCR as well as a basic but nice proofreading web-ui.

Qwen 3/3.5 is good enough for OCR on books in Indic scripts. So that is what I am using. But you can configure the model that you want to use.

I may add a tesseract back end as well if necessary.

= Language Learning =

I have tried a few parallel text readers and was not satisfied by any of them. My website (https://www.adhyeta.org.in/) had a simple baked-in interface that I deleted soon after I developed it. However, this weekend, I sat down with Claude and designed one to my liking. I also ported the theming and other goodies from the website to this local reader. This will serve as a test bed for the Reader on the website itself.

LLMs now produce wonderful translations for most works. You can take an old Bengali book, have Claude/Gemini OCR a few pages and then also have it translate the content to English/Sanskrit. Then load it into the Reader and you are good to go!

The Reader, I will release this month. Claude is nice, but I do not like the way it writes code. It often misses edge cases and even some basic things and I have to remind it to do that. So I want to refactor/rearrange some stuff and test the functionality end-to end before I put it online.

What it does: every location in your article/blog becomes clickable/hoverable and spawns an interactive pop-up map, with zero manual work on the author.

You add it to your articles with a single <script> tag.

Our value proposition is: higher engagement and on-page time, fewer readers wander off to look up places and never come back.

As to the nitty-gritty: place names are disambiguated using wiki and we match coordinates from google places; LLMs are used in multiple spots. The js code is lightweight and framework-free.

Our current target population are bloggers of any extraction, plus we've started exploring the professional publishing world - reach out if interested!

With nao we are exploring the fact that agents are good to work with filesystems, so we help people getting the context into the filesystem and then you can plug our agent loop on top (on anything else).

The most exciting part is working with sandboxes and emulating filesystems. So at the moment the filesystem is local, but it could be a bucket or a database that we emulate as real filesystem for the agentic loop, all of this can also be mounted to sandboxes, and in the end you can do data transformations all in isolation with control on the context.

I have been using online courses and youtube forever and they all have converged on a similar format. Basically, adapt a textbook to slides and add voiceover. Sometimes they'll be animated. Not for everyone but I like it for passive learning.

Being a web developer I always thought video was a strange way to deliver this information - you can't even copy the text! Videos are also hard to make and heavy on bandwidth. So after iterating on different approaches to this over the last few years, I finally started on a new iteration called useful.

Currently on rev1, so early days: https://github.com/ohmstone/useful/tree/rev-1

There are a few more things I want to add to it but I want to get back to what I was doing (the bass guitar stuff). So I will make few of these website-as-video courses based on my projects to try and prove the concept.

Some of the nerdier features useful has:

- Uses state of the art CPU-based TTS with voice cloning, realistic enough to not be distracting

- Very simple markup language to create the visuals

- Extensible slide content with simple plugin system

- Full website export with complete SEO/social metadata

- Export is a PWA, so it caches nicely and can work offline

- Self-hostable

- Export is optimized for low bandwidth, so it loads way faster than a video and uses <1/10th of the data when served with brotli

- Minimal dependencies

Beyond my own use-case I figured it might be useful for others creating courses. One stretch-goal would be for people to turn what they are learning via LLMs into low-bandwidth courses like this so we don't have people burning energy asking the same questions and watching the same 4K videos.

It sits on top of what I already use and gives me a unified "What do I need to do (now/today)?" view.

Trying to auto-capture action items from meeting transcriptions and other inbound, and routing quick thoughts to the right tool with a couple of keystrokes, helping me prioritise my day so I'm not spending energy on too much organising (or through lack of organising getting distracted).

I wanted something that watched my inputs and keep my GTD loop running, especially when back-to-back meetings and context-switching make it really hard (or impossible) to stay on top of things I need to do!

Might also augment it with LLM for some support of task breakdown, but only as human-in-loop assistance.

Not thinking this could ever turn into a product since it's so custom.

by dmacedo

The idea is pretty simple: SQLite is amazing, but once it’s running in production you basically have zero observability. If something weird happens (unexpected writes, schema changes, background jobs touching tables, etc.) you only find out after the fact. It tries to solve that without touching application code. It's a Rust agent that runs next to your sqlite file, and connects to the server where everything is logged in. My current challenge right now is encryption and trust, mostly.

Curious if others here are running SQLite in production and if you would be interested in something like this.

This is a "full rewrite," because I need to migrate away from my previous server, which was developed as a high-security, general-purpose application server, and is way overkill for this app.

Migration is likely to take a couple more years, but this is a big first step.

I've rewritten the server, to present a much smaller API. Unfortunately, I'm not yet ready to change the server SQL schema yet, so "behind the curtain" is still pretty hairy. Once the new API and client app are stable, I'll look at the SQL schema. The whole deal is to not interfere with the many users of the app.

I should note that I never would have tried this, without the help of an LLM. It has been invaluable. The development speed is pretty crazy.

Still a lot of work ahead, but the server is done, and I'm a good part of the way through the client communication SDK.

Shopify integration is almost out the door too, which opens up a lot of interesting abandoned cart and win-back use cases for stores whose customers have opted out of email.

by nicbarth

Because source isn’t always available, it scans the bytecode of an application and the new library, building a full graph of each component in Neo4j to determine what breaking changes impact the target application. This is then translated into tickets and prompts to drive an LLM to make the appropriate changes.

Handling library upgrades is rarely interesting and just adds to our overall technical debt, so it has been nice to automate it away so that we can focus on features and functionality. It supports Java and .Net currently and we’re actively adding support for other languages.

No Python. No Docker. No dependency hell. Just one binary.

What makes it different:

- Soul System: define your agent's identity, persona, and behavior in a plain .soul.md file. Swap souls to get completely different agents from the same binary. - Self-Forging: the agent can write its own skills and load them at runtime. It literally extends itself. - Voice Mode: offline JARVIS-style voice interface, no cloud required. - Works with Ollama (local) or Claude (cloud) — same binary, same config. - Pioneer Edition (29MB, $9.99 one-time): adds robotics/voice/advanced features, runs on Raspberry Pi with GPIO control.

I built this because I was tired of Python dependency hell every time I wanted a local agent. The entire runtime is a single Go binary with zero external dependencies.

Core is completely free and open source. No license key, no account, just download and run.

If you’ve used H3 the semantics should be familiar. The biggest differentiator is the fact that cells have exactly the same area globally, for why this matters see: https://a5geo.org/docs/recipes/a5-vs-h3

I built a service that lets developers bundle remote files into a ZIP with a single POST request. You send a list of URLs, we fetch, package, and return a signed download link.

The problem: creating ZIPs from remote files (S3, R2, CDN) usually means downloading to a server, zipping locally, managing temp storage, and cleaning up. It's surprisingly painful at scale — especially with large files or thousands of items.

Eazip handles all of that. ZIP64 support for files over 4GB, up to 5,000 files per job, zero egress fees on downloads, and no infrastructure to manage.

Use cases so far: e-commerce photo bundles, document delivery (invoices/contracts), creative asset distribution, and backup/export tooling.

Free tier available, no credit card required. Would love feedback from the HN community.

Mission: get startups access to senior & principal big-tech engineers at a 90% discount and without hemorrhaging equity.

The hack is that I'm tapping into a hidden supply of people hiding in plain sight: top engineers that are already full-time employed in big-tech with benefits who enjoy helping smaller startups, and, recently retired people who want something to do.

The name I'm using is Low Touch Advisor because we are selling what I call "low touch" help in the form of async Slack based guidance. By having access to senior people perfectly matched to your team's needs, you can use your actual engineers to do the hands on and majorly reduce the likelihood that a major rewrite is needed after 6 months of effort on new projects.

Basic model: - Our customer (an early stage company) pays $1,500 / month with no long term commitments to get async Slack help from a vetted senior/principal engineer perfectly matched to their needs - Of that, we ACH $1k / month to the engineer who provided the Slack-based help

Within the first 3 months of operating, I have $27k of monthly revenue booked in my sales pipeline.

So far I've done everything by hand but once I'm a bit further ahead, I'm going to look to begin automating this.

Today, if you search for "what size should I get in Nike Air Max 90" you'll find size charts. We have it, and for 200+ brands across 70+ retailers. When users tell us which shoes they own and what size fits them we’re slowly building crowdsourced fit recommendations which are personal and more accurate compared to size charts.

We're two coders who've built an almost fully autonomous platform. AI agents build, debug and deploy crawlers on their own. We went from 4 crawlers to 280+ in about a month, and the whole thing runs on a home server. When new shoes are discovered, the platform publishes new pages with relevant info automatically. Agents get access to platform metrics and SEO data via custom MCPs to identify the right opportunities on their own. Currently at about 3000 MAU and about 100 size recommendations/day.

I first used DynamoDB 8 years ago and have been designing single-table schemas heavily since. For me, the best way to create drafts was always pen and paper (and then excel/confluence tables), but in reality it's a process (based on The DynamoDB Book) that can be automated to an extent.

Decided to build an app while on paternity leave. You define entities and access patterns, create (or get suggested) key and GSI design, and generate code for access patterns (TypeScript and Python), infrastructure (CDK, CloudFormation, Terraform), and documentation you can share with stakeholders.

There's more I want to build beyond the MVP - things around understanding and validating designs that you can't get from a chatbot - but for now focusing on the core.

If anyone wants to try it out, sign up for the waitlist on the landing page. MVP should be ready in the next few weeks.

It's designed to integrate with Maven projects, to bring in the benefits of tools like Gradle and Bazel, where local and remote builds and tests share the same cache, and builds and tests are distributed over many machines. Cache hits greatly speed up large project builds, while also making it more reliable, since you're not potentially getting flaky test failures in your otherwise identical builds.

It turns your Google Sheet into a live API.

We know the "Sheet to API" space is a little crowded, but we've always wanted to get better at distribution, marketing, and growth hacking. We needed a real product as a sandbox to learn, so we built a tool that we'd use ourselves.

There's a free tier. I'd love to hear any feedback on the product (or our marketing efforts!). Thank you!

I've been building a collaborative docs tool called Docules. The short version: it's a team documentation tool that doesn't have any embedded AI features. I use Claude Code daily, but putting LLMs into every workflow and charging for it is kinda insane. Every docs tool is adding AI auto-complete, AI summaries, "generate a page" buttons. Docules has an API and an MCP server instead, so you connect whatever AI tools you actually want to use. The core product focuses on being a fast, solid docs tool. Real-time collab, fast — no embedded databases or heavy view abstractions, hierarchical docs, drag-and-drop, semantic search, comments, version history, public sharing, SSO, RBAC, audit logs, webhooks, etc. The stack is React, Hono, PostgreSQL, WebSockets. The MCP server is a separate package that exposes search, document CRUD, and comments — so Claude/ChatGPT can work with your docs without us reimplementing a worse version of what they already do. Happy to talk architecture or the MCP integration.

Put One In for Johnny Minn (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3802120/Put_One_In_for_Jo...) - A small soccer game all about scoring nice goals. While I don’t expect it to do well, I’m very happy with how it came out, and it’s the first game I’ve made that I’ll release on Steam! Comes out on Thursday (March 12th).

HeartRoutine (https://www.heartroutine.com/) - I built this a few months ago to help me stay on top of my heart health. I enter my numbers on the (offline) app, and then configure my goals (like “lower Apo B through diet and exercise”), and then the server emails me every morning asking me what I ate yesterday, how I exercised, etc. The goal is to stay on track, and to be able to bring a cardiologist a very detailed report.

even with everyone and their mother shipping a workout app (accelerated by the vibecoding surge), nothing quite hit the bar i was looking for. everything seemed to be built in react native, flutter, or another cross-platform framework, meaning it never truly felt at home on the device.

beyond just wanting something fully native, i felt there was a real gap in the prosumer market. i wanted to build something for people who already know what they're doing in the gym, have their program, and just want a solid tool they can actually own (it's a one-time purchase of $12.99) that at the same time gives them all the insights they'd reasonably want (muscle heatmap, 1rm breakdowns with different formulas, working volume, best volume, etc.).

Check it out, would love your thoughts!

If you use Stripe Billing for subscriptions, your customers can specify reasons why they cancelled (e.g. too expensive, not using it, switched to competitor, etc.). However, to access those, you either have to use Stripe Sigma or pull them from the API. I wanted to build a more convenient way to access those (and also act upon them).

I've submitted the app to Stripe's App Marketplace, but I have a limited number of test invites to send out if you're interested (I will happily waive your subscription for 3 months).

There are some good tools out there for automating pr review; IMO, they don't catch enough, and they catch it too late.

What is the audience? People into new apps? It all feels a bit desperate to be honest and this app is just a hobby side project, I am not.

So if anyone knows of a good way to get some attention to my useful fun tool, please let me know.

It was inspired by tamagotchis of yesteryear (and my two cats). It uses a small common monochrome SSD1306 display with 128x64 pixels of resolution.

All of the pixel art is my own. And the cat features a bunch of different animated poses and behaviors, as well as different environments. And there are minigames (a chrome dino clone - but with a cat!, a breakout clone, a random maze generator, a tic-tac-toe game, and I plan to add more.)

I'm currently working on tweaking the stats so that they go up and down over time in a realistic way and encourage the player to feed and interact with the pet to keep stats from going too low. Then I plan on adding some wireless features, like having the pet scan WiFi names to determine if its home or traveling, or using ESP-NOW to let pets communicate with each other when they're nearby.

I made a reddit post with a video of it a few weeks ago [1] and have various prototypes of artwork for these little screens on my blog [2].

- CO2. Side note: I was surprised to find that most (all?) CO2 sensors used in closed plant production setups are not meant to operate below 400 ppm.

- Air temperature, pressure, relative humidity

- Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR)

- Addons like: wind speed, wind direction, soil moisture and Electrical Conductivity (EC)

- The coolest and most challenging: pH, EC, and flow rate

The hardest part has been running everything on battery while maintaining accuracy and using LTE (2–4G) and not common LPWAN options like LoRa. I'm primarily a software guy, so the learning curve has been huge.

An all-in-one tool for structured data extraction with LLMs.

$ struktur extract —input doc.pdf —schema schema.json —model openai/gpt-5

- can prepare documents (PDF->text etc.) - run multiple different extraction strategies - runs a full agent loop for data extraction in-process using Pi agent and just-bash.dev. It can grep through large files for example.

by capevace

We use landing.ai to parse the PDF, as well as useworkflow.dev to durably perform other work such as rendering PDF pages for citations, and coordinating a few lightweight agents and deterministic checks that flag for inconsistencies, rule violations, bias, verify appraiser credentials, etc. etc. Everything is grounded in the input document so it makes it pretty fast and easy. We’re going to market soon and have an approval sign up gate currently. Plenty of new features and more rigorous checks planned to bring us to and exceed parity with competition and human reviewers.

There’s plenty of margin for cost and latency versus manual human review, which takes an hour or more and costs $100 or more.

The problem: one buggy integration, scraper, or infinite retry loop can suddenly explode your API costs or overload infrastructure before anyone notices.

Fairvisor acts as a guardrail in front of your API:

per-tenant and per-route rate limits

request budgets and soft/hard caps

anomaly alerts for sudden spikes

The edge component is open source (OpenResty / Nginx + Lua) and the SaaS part provides policy management and audit.

Still early, validating whether teams would use something like this instead of building internal scripts.

It's a free USCIS form-filling web-app(no Adobe required). USCIS forms still use XFA PDFs, which don’t let you edit in most browsers. Even with Adobe, fields break, and getting the signature is hard.

So I converted the PDF form into modern, browser-friendly web forms - and kept every field 1:1 with the original. You fill the form, submit it, and get the official USCIS PDF filled.

I found out SimpleCitizen(YC S16) offers a DIY plan for $529 [2]

Instead of building scrips here and there I'm attempting my own everything app. Lets see if that's a good idea :).

Starting with android home screen and widget sync to server/desktop. So e.g. calendar notifications happen desktop first, then escalate to mobile etc. Also phone as mousepad (for using my projector from bed). Just feature creeping it all in without regrets so far.

In general I feel like feature creep needs to be reevaluated. UX must not be destroyed, but features cost less now.

But once all the low level operations are done, my plan is to implement an A2A Agent as the sole Agent listed in the AgentCard at $SERVER_ROOT/.well-known/agent-card.json, which is itself an "AgentListerAgent". So you can send messages to that Agent to receive details about all the registered Agents. Keeps everything pure A2A and works around the point that (at least in the current version) A2A doesn't have any direct support for the notion of putting multiple Agents on the same server (without using different ports). There are proposals out there to modify the spec to support that kind of scenario directly, but for my money, just having an AgentListerAgent as the "root" Agent should work fine.

Next steps will include automatically defining routes in a proxy server (APISIX?) to route traffic to the Agent container. And I think I'll probably add support for Agents beyond just A2A based Agents.

And of course the basic idea could be extended to all sorts of scenarios. Also, right now this is all based on Docker, using the Docker system events mechanism, but I think I'll want to support Kubernetes as well. So plenty of work to do...

My favorite output so far is that I asked it what life was and in a random stroke of genius, it answered plainly: "It is.".

It's able to answer simple questions where the answer is in the question with up to 75% accuracy. Example success: 'The car was red. Q: What was red? ' |> 'the car' - Example failure: 'The stars twinkled at night. Q: What twinkled at night? ' |> 'the night'.

So nothing crazy, but I'm learning and having fun. My current corpus is ~17mb of stories, generated encyclopedia content, json examples, etc. JSON content is new from this weekend and the model is pretty bad at it so far, but I'm curious to see if I can get it somewhere interesting in the next few weeks.

It's gone a long way to solve the "review" bottleneck people have been experiencing (though admittedly it doesn't fix all of it), and I'm in the process of adding support for Mac and Windows (WSL for now, native some other time).

Some of the features I've had for a while, like multi-project agent worktrees, have been added as a part of the Codex App, so it's good to see that this practice is proliferating because it makes it so much easier to manage the clusterf** that is managing 20+ agents at once without it.

I'm feeling the itch to have this working on mobile as well so I might prioritize that, and I'm planning to have a meta-agent that can talk to Tenex over some kind of API via tool calls so you can say things like "In project 2, spawn 5 agents, 2 codex, 2 claude, 1 kimi, use 5.2 and 5.4 for codex, use Opus for the claudes, and once kimi is finished launch 10 review agents on its code".

Coffee Roaster Aggregation ETL using fastapi, nextjs, bs4 etc etc. It's been fun, just finished up the oauth for discord that pairs nicely with the info required to make Discord dm notifications function. attempting to charge 6$ for the instant notifications, but doubt many people will be interested. up to 75 roasters and all of them are checked every 10 mins for new products.

Considering reusing the repo as a framework for other industries if this project ever gains any traction. Also was considering adding a goofy rag discord bot to the server just because i love tossing in a rag layer everywhere lately, and feel like i fall a bit short on my filters for stuff like origin/flavor notes and all that junk. Semantic search with solid chunk strategies might create a better solution than if i did get all the filters working as well as possible.

I needed a way to use and push my own artifacts in Meson projects. WrapDB is fine for upstream deps, but I wanted to publish my packages and depend on them with proper versioning and a lockfile, without hand-editing wrap files.

Collider builds on Meson’s wrap system: you declare deps in collider.json, run collider lock for reproducible installs, and push your projects as wraps to a local or HTTP repo. It’s compatible with WrapDB, so existing workflows still work: you just get a clear way to use and push your own stuff. Apache-2.0.

An LLM observability SDK that let's you store pre and post request metadata with every call in as lightweight an SDK as possible.

Stores to S3 in batched JSON files, so can easily plug into existing tooling like DuckDB for analysis.

It's designed to answer questions like; "how do different user tiers of my services rate this two different models and three different systems prompts?". You can capture all the information required to answer this in the SDK and do some queries over the data to get the answers.

Downloaded and parsed a bunch of the pgsql-hackers mailing list. Right now it’s just a pretty basic alternative display, but I have some ideas I want to explore around hybrid search and a few other things. The official site for the mailing list has a pretty clean thread display but the search features are basic so I’m trying to see how I can improve on that.

The repo is public too: https://github.com/jbonatakis/pginbox

I’ve mostly built it using blackbird [1] which I also built. It’s pretty neat having a tool you built build you something else.

Its been pretty fun cosplaying as an network engineer, and now I'm building out an Anycast network for a few ideas that I'm working on.

Its nothing too revolutionary or new, but I'm proud that I've built them from ground up and all running on my own infrastructure.

- DNS Authoritative Hosting - https://thelittlehost.com/dns/ - Quietnet - A family-focused internet filter - https://quietnet.app

I'm also getting ready to launch https://relaye.io, which was my personal tool I built to support my devops consultancy.

It has a few core libraries built in rust with a web app and a terminal UI. Android app is in the works. The persistence layer is intended to be offline first using a CRDT with an optional sync server. I'm also trying to integrate "bring your own AI" assistants to help tweak recipes or make suggestions.

It's been a fun way to sharpen my claude skills but also to see how feasible it is to maintain multiple frontend applications with a large amount of shared code. Still a lot to do, particularly the core calculations are not yet on par with existing offerings.

It's a collection of 40 (and growing) tools for text processing, data cleaning, conversions, dev utils etc. Everything runs in the browser and is completely free.

Started this partly to learn SEO from scratch on a fresh domain, partly because i am lazy with regards to doing basic data cleaning using pandas and i found myself repeatedly using similar online tools that are completely riddled with ads.

I built this using Flask + Vanilla JS. I don't think there was any need to overcomplicate it. And for fun, i vibe coded a windows 95 desktop mode where all the tools open as draggable windows. https://textkit.dev/desktop

Already launched biz-in-a-box.org and a life-in-a-box.org spinoff as frameworks to replace every entity's QuickBooks. I'm using them myself for every project my agents are spinning up.

Stealth project is related to classpass but for another category of need that won't go away even in the age of AI that really is only possible with critical mass of supply to meet existing demand. Super excited cus there's no better time to build with unlimited agents that scale without people problems.

Lastly, can't wait to run local LLMs so no longer limited by tokens/money.

- Publishing project - I’m also working on a book with Lab of Thought as the publisher, which has been a great opportunity to spend more time working with Typst.

These projects sit at the intersection of technology, cities, and knowledge sharing, exactly where I’m hoping to focus more of my time going forward.

The main thing I'm currently working on is a platform for organizing and discovering in-person events. Still not certain about the boundaries for "Phase 1", but I have a bunch of ideas in that space that I've been incubating for a while. One subset of features will be roughly similar to that app you've probably heard of that starts with 'M' and ends with 'p', but hopefully an improvement, at least for the right audience. But wait, there's more. :)

Currently building it; it's not public yet, so no link. Next month.

Thinking about how to grow the userbase is intimidating, but I think it might end up being fun.

Aside from that, I need to document and properly release one of the pieces that PAPER is relying on (some generic tree-processing code that makes operations on directory trees a lot nicer than with the standard library "walk"s), and work on others (in particular, a "bytecode archive" format for Python that speeds up imports for some projects, mainly by avoiding filesystem work at import time — I want to offer it as an install-time option in PAPER, and later have `bbbb` make wheels with the bytecode precompiled that way).

Phase 1: Download the student's code from their submitted github repo URL and run a series of extractions defined as skills. Did they include a README.md? What few-shot examples they provided in their prompt? Save all of it to a JSON blob.

Phase 2: Generate a series of probe queries for their agent based on it's system prompt and run the agent locally testing it with the probes. Save the queries and results to the JSON blob.

Phase 3: For anything subjective, surface the extraction/results to the grader (TA), ask them to grade them 1-5.

The final rubric is 50% objective and 50% subjective but it's all driven by the agent.

by red_hare

The basic idea is that when one failure fans out across 20 services, you often end up with 20 alerts and 20 separate investigations, even though there is really just one root cause. I’m using distributed tracing to build a live model of how errors propagate through the system, and then exposing that context directly at each affected service.

Longer term, I want this to become a very high-precision RCA engine. Right now I’m looking to try it with a few early design partners that already have a lot of tracing data, especially OpenTelemetry or Datadog APM users. I'll love to chat with some folks who would be willing to try it out!

Physical engineering is a huge welcome transition for me from what coding has become in the last couple years.

There’s something nice about the realities of creating a model, then printing it, then seeing that exact is too exact, then reprinting, then eight more times, and then that feeling when it all comes together properly.

A few weeks ago I was working on an adapter for an airbrush to use on a standard pancake air compressor. Learning to create threads in blender was really neat! I learned a lot about the physical construction of threads, something I have never put much thought into before.

I've been building a collaborative docs tool called Docules. The short version: it's a team documentation tool that doesn't have any embedded AI features. I use Claude code daily, but putting LLM’s into every workflow and charging for it is kinda insane. Every docs tool is adding AI auto-complete, AI summaries, "generate a page" buttons. Docules has an open API and ships an MCP server, so it connects to whatever you want to use LLM-wise. They can read, search, create, and edit documents through the API. The core product is just a docs tool that tries to be good at being a docs tool:

  - Real-time collab with live cursors

  - Fast — no embedded databases or heavy view abstractions slowing things down

  - Hierarchical docs, drag-and-drop, semantic search

  - Comments, version history, public sharing

  - SSO, RBAC, audit logs, webhooks

Rendering is done by a go server. I wanted to learn go for quite a while and this is the perfect excuse.

A problem that we had at my last startup was that we got stuck between not wanting to spend too much time on devops, and getting price gouged by Heroku.

We were too big for the deploy to a VPS type options like coolify, but too small to justify hiring a full time Devops.

Eventually a few of us had to just suck it up and learn Kubernetes properly. Was pleasantly surprised how elegant it all was.

I was surprised there wasn’t something that “just worked” and plugged into our Kubernetes cluster, made it user friendly, teams, roles, etc.

It supports advanced joins, CTEs, subqueries, and analytics-friendly patterns, with companion packages for LiveView interfaces (selecto_components) and code generation (selecto_mix). If your app is data-heavy, Selecto gives you SQL-level power without brittle hand-written query strings.

The insight: the friction in getting testimonials isn't that clients don't want to help – it's that a blank "leave a review" box produces mediocre one-liners. SocialProof guides them through structured questions ("what was your situation before?" / "what changed?") so you get a compelling before/after narrative automatically.

Free tier: unlimited testimonials. Just launched and looking for feedback from anyone who deals with client testimonials.

Type "cheapest flight from London to Tokyo, flexible on dates in April" and it returns live results with real pricing. I compared a few against Google Flights and they matched. Not mocked data.

The part I found interesting: it runs on a dedicated VM so it keeps context across the conversation. If you say "actually make that business class" or "what about flying into Osaka instead" it knows what you were looking at. Most chat-based search tools lose that between messages.

I didn't build it from scratch — it's a pre-built app in the SuperNinja App Store that I deployed and have been extending. The deploy itself took about 60 seconds. The extending part is what I've been spending time on: describing changes in plain text and watching them go live without touching a repo.

Still figuring out what the right UX is for flexible-date search. Curious if anyone has opinions on that.

I’m a Senior Full Stack Engineer with over 8 years of experience building and scaling production systems using Node.js, TypeScript, React, and Python. I’ve worked in remote, product-focused environments where I’ve led architectural improvements, including migrating a monolithic system to microservices, reducing deployment time by around 50% and improving scalability and reliability.

I’m comfortable owning features end-to-end — from system design and API development to deployment, performance optimization, and production support. I’ve also implemented CI/CD pipelines, improved database performance (PostgreSQL), and contributed to cloud-native infrastructure on AWS using Docker and Kubernetes. In addition, I’ve worked on AI-driven workflows and LLM integrations for modern product capabilities.

I’m currently exploring new remote opportunities and would love to connect if you’re building or scaling a product where strong backend architecture, clean execution, and ownership matter.

If it makes sense, I’d be happy to schedule a short conversation. Thank you.

I built the tool to check your site as close as possible to what a human would see and then compare it with LLM's.

It was a weird journey trying to tease this info out of the models, they will happily lie, skip checking sites or just make things up.

^^ solo project / code review agents for non-coders / inspired by Compound Engineering plugin’s code review flow

by kamens

So I built a test for the same and its called Orlog. You can check it out here: https://orlog-test.netlify.app/

Looking for your feedback.

Blog, news, chat, video, mail, web. Basically all the daily habits as little micro apps in one thing. I find it quite useful. Not sure anyone else does yet though.

Also separately worked on Reminder.dev which is a Quran app and API that bakes in LLM based search and motivational reminders.

Several readers have asked for an easy way to get recommendations without working through long-form review articles.

Here's the first iteration of a simple recommender: https://bcmullins.github.io/reading/

The goal is to get consistent synthesis to 450MHz such that I can use a narrower 256-bit instead of a 512-bit interface, while maintaining full bandwidth. I've got it working at an FMax ranging 440-490MHz, though there's still some edge cases I need to hammer out.

I had been doing lots of time-based work for a blog post and ended up annoyed that so many clocks around me were visually out of sync. Especially my microwave and oven clocks. Using the tool I got them synced up beyond what I could perceive.

Full encryption for notes (uses local encryption before you even sent the note to the server).

I wanted a mixture of Github Gists (sans Git) and 1Password shares so I've been using it eitj great success at my current company to share snippets and private stuff.

Might open source in the future, just need to gauge interest.

Under the hood it uses a cool legal reasoning agent primarily designed for understanding litigation claims and objectives.

Sometimes I do wish I had a slack channel of like 30 attorneys so I can ask them questions and get feedback.

I originally made it a couple of years ago as a small proof of concept. A couple of weeks ago I started it over and have been using it as a project to work with Claude and learn approaches to coding with AI.

It's been a lot of fun.

Version 3 will add more feed types: Podcasts, Mastodon, Twitter/X, Calendar, Reminders, Weather, Finance tickers and more.

It will have a new UI, new features like notifications and local transcripts and summaries and many quality of life improvements.

So I built YouLingua (https://youlingua.world). Paste any YouTube video and get a word-by-word interactive transcript. Click a word to save it with the exact video moment — "muddy puddles" isn't a flashcard, it's Peppa jumping in one. Saved words then power mini-games: a space shooter, hex puzzles, TikTok-style review shorts...

Browser-based, no install. Login with a Web3 wallet — no grand reason yet, just something I'm interested in. Dream is to eventually make it fully decentralized so you truly own your learning data.

Still early, but my son now asks to "play the word game." That feels like a win.

Agents can search for design inspiration from production websites using semantic search. Since this inspiration comes from live websites, their design tokens; colors, typography usage, layout data are also available.

Had a lot of fun doing it and it's more user friendly than trying to read off lists from stream aggregators online that have a lot of ads etc.

First ever go at something like this so any feedback is appreciated!

by jackdev

For now it uses UX patterns to make it easy to remove uninteresting articles and keeps a record of your read and saved articles. All locally of course.

I’d like to make it into something we can share quality content with one another eventually. For now I’m focusing on making it good enough my entourage will want to use it

Now at 350k lines. Native and wasm binaries (you can try the limited wasm version online). Currently adding a full CPython test suite benchmark.

Just for fun, not trying to replace CPython here. Mainly to test the limits of current coding agents.

The problem I kept seeing: freelancers have happy clients but almost no testimonials on their site. Asking is awkward, clients say "sure!" and then never write anything.

SocialProof gives you one shareable link. Client clicks it, fills a short form (name, text, optional photo), you approve it, it embeds anywhere. No login required for the client.

The interesting technical bit: it's entirely on Cloudflare Workers + D1 + Pages. The collection form and embed widget are edge-served globally with no origin server. Been curious whether anyone else is building purely on Cloudflare's stack and what they've run into.

Still pre-revenue (just launched today). If you're a freelancer or run a small agency and have thoughts on how you currently handle testimonials, I'd genuinely love to hear it.

Not templates with names swapped in. Every story and illustration is made from scratch. You can go from "dinosaurs soccer" or write out a whole storyline. Pick an art style, optionally upload reference photos of your kid, and it builds a 28 page book in a few minutes.

Bilingual in 38 languages. We handle RTL (Arabic, Hebrew), CJK, and less common languages like Estonian, Maltese, Irish where there's not much available for kids.

Tech side for the curious: LangGraph orchestrates the pipeline, Celery workers do image generation and text rendering in parallel, and LLMs critique the illustrations for consistency mistakes and can trigger regenerations automatically.

Printed in Germany, booklet around 20 EUR, hardcover around 40 EUR.

Been learning dance moves from TikTok but hated the pause/rewind loop on my phone. So I built a web app that overlays the original dancer as a translucent ghost directly on your camera feed.

Upload any video → ghost appears → you follow → record yourself → export. No install, works on mobile browser.

Build enterprise grade applications (in Elixir) with AI the right way.

Secure. Scalable. Reliable.

Built based on a senior engineer's experience. Uses 10 years of battle-tested patterns, not just LLMs:

1. Uses algorithms over AI whenever possible.

2. No external library dependencies whenever possible.

3. Old school over shiny new toys. Use the right solution for the problem (Eg. SQL vs NoSQL).
