BiasScanner - a non-profit project to fight non-neutral news reporting with a special LLM model wrapped in a Firefox plugin (that marks biased sentences yellow when you read your news online). In JavaScript and Python -- see https://biasscanner.org

IdeaFunnel - capturing, tracking and evaluating ideas in organizations; as innovation is topic that I am conducting research in and will be teaching a block course in July on. (Being rapid prototyped in PHP.)

ltools -- a set of command line tools in Rust.

Also starting a new multi-year computer science book project...

Half of a team here of former journalists building a platform for news -- its a news feed, where all posts come from pre-vetted journalists:

I had been wanting to learn Next.js for a long time and loved the idea of telling a story via gifs. I also bought a domain on impulse(like always) a while back and thought id put something there before it expires. I don't see it going anywhere, but already learned a ton about Next and all the things that go with it. Its wonky, so please don't judge too harsh. You can check it out at prelinq.com

I'm building an amateur radio logging tool. Yes, there's a million out there, but I wanted one specifically for hunting Parks on the Air and Summits on the Air activators:

I've also built a tool in Rust for munging ADI (amateur radio contact logging) files:

After being laid off, it's given me lots of time to play on the radio :-/

I'm working on a AI automation tool to updates docs at with every git commit.

The tool just does one thing "Keeps your docs upadated always"

I have dealt with the pain of keeping the docs updated. It is mundane and boring at times. so I wanted to check if the pain is universal.

I need the fourm's help to solve this, please take 30 seconds to fill this survery that will help me with some cricital insights around this problem:

For several years now, my free (programming) time goes into experimenting and making a REBOL based language:

https://ryelang.org

March was quite productive:

* there was major (somewhat breaking) upgrade to the language

* We have a working web (wasm) console again

* full binary builds with some improvements for Windows that before didn't get much attention.

* full function reference with unit tests should arrive soon

I try to post about what I'm working on on Rye's reddit group:

I am currently contributing to [1], a preconfigured *arr stack on NixOS.

I am also working on Plundrio [2], a put.io Download Client for *arr.

My other project Server Radar [3] has been neglected lately, but I wanna move to D1 completely (currently still using DuckDB on the frontend).

I'm working on the next release of Cyphernetes. It's a query language for Kubernetes that allows doing most complex k8s management operations in a much more compact and concise form (compared to writing shell scripts, using jsonpath+jq, nested kubectl, writing API code etc.). Recently merged a visual overhaul to the Cyphernetes web UI and now working on adding support for ORDER BY, LIMIT and SKIP to the language.

A declarative OSINT VM builder utilizing Nix Flakes. The goal is to quickly generate a fresh QCOW2 image with all necessary applications installed and configured, mainly Firefox with numerous settings and extensions.

I think this can be really useful as it allows you to maintain separate QCOW2 files for each investigation, since they can be generated in just a few seconds.

Using a Nix Flake also provides an easy way to add or remove tools, offering extensive customization based on your needs.

I am currently testing the hypothesis that RAG can reduce the likelihood of LLM hallucination when it comes to software architecture (existing or proposed enhancements or tech debt reduction) of complex systems. To that end, I recently launched a web spa https://www.exploravention.com/AskArchitect/ where you can ask the software architect questions about various popular open source projects. I hope that you participate in this experiment.
