I’m vibe coding https://vespera.guide, a travel-planning tool that blends AI-driven suggestions with real-time re-planning—aimed especially at people who want to get inspiration and stay organised in their trip planning. Think of it like a curated jumpstart for itineraries, but still flexible enough to keep spontaneity.

I'm working on a correlation matrix with Svelte 5.

It includes rolling correlation charts, hierarchical clustering, and a terminal-style interface with high data density. It uses a 2D windowing/virtualization approach to render only visible matrix cells to the DOM. It's early WIP. The landing page is particularly bad.

I'm working on a webpage to share my notes from science/engineering classes. It includes a node graph of all the topics in a particular course, and you can click on a node to find what I've written about that topic.

Here's a demo (click on "Limiting Reactant"):

I am working on a battle simulation for the game 'The Bazaar'.

I was quite frustrated with how the original devs handled monetization going into open beta, which sparked my motivation.

Trying out Kotlin for the first time and having a blast so far!

Also using an ECS architecture for the first time. It's quite a different way of reasoning about things, but it definitely helps with the dynamic fights that need to be simulated.

Watch out for DMCAs. They're, ah, not very fond of third-party development.

Best wishes,

Thanks for the heads up! But that's what I figured, based on how they dealt with the other trackers and overlays.

I am planning to open source it (when I am at least somewhat happy with the implementation) but without any references to the bazaar. It just so happens that it uses items with cooldown and similar systems that deal with burn, poison, haste etc. ;)

You can then bring your own items and play out the simulations and maybe your items just so happen to be based on the bazaar or maybe you create your own custom items based on lord of the rings or whatever.

Right now, the project's primary purpose is to be an interesting problem that needs to be solved and helping me learn new things.

Btw. your tool looks great! A shame that team tempo is against these kinds of community driven tools

I'm working on OnlineOrNot (https://onlineornot.com), a tool for getting an alert when your team vibe-codes your product offline. Just hit 4 years of running the business.

Currently adding the ability to pause checks on a schedule (for when you have scheduled maintenance on your DB and don't want alerts during that time).

I'm working on a drop-in replacement for Django admin with better UI/UX and useful features like custom forms that Django Admin lacks.

I'm working on https://ad-si.github.io/LuaCAD/

LuaCAD is a scripting library which uses OpenSCAD as engine to create 2D and 3D models. The OpenSCAD language itself is quite limited and has several issues and Lua is much better suited for the job!

So if you're interested in programmatic CAD, please check it out!

Working on some starter templates for going from plain English requirements to a ready-to-use applications in a few minutes. Are you a small team looking to go from Excel to something a bit more streamlined but would like to avoid a time-consuming and costly process? Schedule a live demo today. https://genatron.ai

I had an idea to screen the YouTube videos that kids watch through a suitable LLM to assess whether the content was child friendly. There’s an emerging issue with insidious messaging / themes creeping into child-focused content that looks completely innocent on the surface, and I wondered if the current generation of LLMs can pick up on this. (Initial tests seem encouraging.)

An app called Reflect to run self experiments, to prove your new habit or supplement is doing what you want, or to get to the bottom of what relationship your mood has with your lifestyle changes:
