I'm working on a hidden puzzle for the 40th anniversary phrack edition which is scheduled for release this summer. If you're a reader of it be on the lookout for curiosities and scrutinize everything. There is a prize at the end and it's going to be fun. :)

Building a tiny ~€50k mountain cabin in the mountains of Cyprus that I hope to Airbnb to then get a retired visa and move to Cape Town.

But pouring my soul into building Afterhours (afths.com); Duolingo for life skills (financial independence, building muscle, writing well, parenting etc)

I'm working on https://inboto.com, an AI agent for email support. I'm tried out sending receptive emails, or switching between different platforms to find unified information about the customer.

I threw together a UI for sending & receiving Twilio SMS messages. Was surprised by the lack of free options, FOSS or otherwise.

A Lottie animation generator that allows to create a Lottie animation from an image and text input.

That sounds really cool. How would you create such a thing?

The current workflow is create an image with stable diffusion, vectorize it, convert it to Lottie format, and than use a function that can create the Lottie animation keyframes.

How would you rig whatever is in the stable diffusion generated image automatically? You'd have to find a way to identify the objects in the image, segment them into their individual limbs/pieces and rig and animate them.

Maybe Meta's open source segmentation tool would be handy. Maybe you can rig the person/animal/object in the image using one of the object detection tools on HuggingFace.

This seems like a really interesting project. I'd love to check it out if you plan on open sourcing it!

Actually there are models for doing the layering.

I’m building a spaced-repetition flashcards app. Unlike the competitors, the cards have audio, images and sentences. Additionally, it is possible to add words from ebooks, websites and YouTube.

I develop an app that makes it easy to create charts in your style, while following best data visualization practices.

Upload your CSV, write a prompt, and get a journal-worthy chart.

Cool stuff! I was thinking about something similar yesterday when walking the dog :) Good job!

Back to working on Ensō (write.sonnet.io) and writing/working in public after a short hiatus.

Also, got some feedback for hands.sonnet.io, so I'd like to play with it a little bit if time permits (might be hard to stay inside, Spring has just started in Portugal).

I've been working on an app that records RAW video on Android devices [1].
