Hi folks,

Ive written a simple app [1] that crawls tech corporate sites daily looking for job postings, and sends you an email with the new jobs that match your profile.

The profile matching is currently very basic - just job title category and location(s). There is also a recommendation agent that is yet to be released (WIP).

I would be grateful for feedback and thoughts. So far I have personally (and others) found this to be very helpful in allowing me automate the daily checking of hundreds of sites.

You can also add specific companies to the crawler, which is nice if you are passively looking at specific companies. A possible feature addition might be to limit the search to only pre-defined companies that interest you.

I would appreciate any thoughts and feedback.

I am writing a newsletter, https://www.clientserver.dev, which started with the writing prompt “what if someone tried to make Money Stuff for software engineering?” I’m still iterating on the format a bit, but I just crossed 100 subscribers and made the Hacker News front page, so I feel like I’m on the right track.

I had a daughter almost 2 years ago, and for a while I didn’t have any free time. But once I started getting a few hours in the evening, I wanted to start up side projects again. I found it frustrating to work on coding projects in 1-2 hour windows. But writing is a little easier; I feel like progress is a little more linear with writing, and having the Monday/Thursday deadline has helped me just ship.

I'm making a log search engine that fits in your pocket: https://humanlog.io/

The idea is to be able to ingest your logs locally and run queries against them without having to resort to a hosted prod-like environment. It's all focused on localdev-first experience. I use it when the o11y tools at work don't do what I need: I can just pull the raw logs locally and run my queries there.

It's still very rough around the edges but it gets better day by day. I want to add features like alerts and monitoring, metrics and tracing. A full o11y platform in a single binary with zero config. I would love any feedback.

(Also please excuse the poor onboarding experience, I haven't polished it as this is a side project and I have a day job)

For the past six months, our team has been working on https://revopush.org/ – The Ultimate Alternative to CodePush.

On March 31, 2025, Microsoft is officially shutting down the CodePush project, leaving thousands of teams without an alternative for OTA updates.

We took the open-source version of the SDK as our foundation and created a managed cloud solution. This allows both small teams and large enterprises to retain the functionality of CodePush with minimal migration effort.

Our roadmap includes further development of the project, launching a CodePush 2.0 version. In it, we'll deliver features that the community has long requested, remove legacy accumulated over the years, and adapt the SDK to modern development standards.

I'm building v2 of MyNixOS, which is an experimental platform to help users navigate, create, and run software configurations using Nix/NixOS.

Just shipped the first phase of v2 which lets you navigate Nix store objects.

Give it a spin here: https://v2.mynixos.com/nix/store/16s8kjwv6zz7xyv3hjr890n7v0d...

(Adjust settings in the upper right corner menu to control what is streamed).

I've been building https://notionbackups.com for almost 4 years now.

It's mostly feature complete at this point, but there are still some rough edges.

Notion's API is far from complete, and updates are few and far between. This has led me to work around some of its limitations in creative ways. For example, there is still no way to create top-level pages in Notion, which makes restores impossible. Instead, I ask customers to create a top-level page themselves and write backups there.

Personally, the hardest part of working on a project for an extended period is not getting burnt out repeteadly. Sometimes it helps to work on something else, and other times you just need to step away from the game entirely for a while

I'm working on Torch Lens Maker [1], an open-source Python library for differential geometric optics. The goal of this project is to design optical systems with modern numerical optimization (PyTorch autograd). The website has a detailed roadmap of what I have planned.

I also had a recent blog post [2] do fairly well on HN, and now I'm kinda thinking about a new design for version 2 of that project because I can't help it I guess.

I'm building an AI DJ for Spotify called Listen to Luther. It's open source here: https://github.com/jacobheric/luther. Currently it responds to prompts with a list of songs that can be queued, played or added to playlists on Spotify. Next I'll give it proper memory and the ability to adjust and remix on the fly. I built it because I was frustrated by the mostly passive experience of Spotify's own AI DJ. There is no path to commercialization here as Spotify's TOS does not permit it (I asked them). So I host it for myself and a few friends and made it open source for anyone who's handy enough to run it themselves.
