My wife and I recently started sharing our passion for cooking at https://soulfulsabor.com. Got WordPress set up to get things running and focus on the cooking and photos. Wordpress turned out to be hyper complex for my taste and needs plugins for a lot of things, so I'm starting to develop my own static site for specifically for food blogs, not wanting to turn it into a product but just to add simplicity to our own workflow. The cooking side of the project is really fulfilling after a long day in the computer, it feels great to do something tangible with quick results. Got a bunch of bread recipes to upload soon.

a Slack and Discord app to help take turns (i.e. queue) with your teammates, overwhelmingly used for sharing tech resources like staging servers. It's crazy something that started so tiny (almost as a joke for my old workplace) has grown into my main "thing".

https://tfstate.com

an infrastructure configuration monitoring solution for terraform/opentofu managed stacks. I am unsure how to proceed with this tbh. It's sort of the underdog in this space - it's much cheaper than the competitors. But really, it's yet to make a dent.

(I am maybe prowling around for something new to build)

I’ve been building my wife a budget tracking dashboard for reporting on PPC ad campaigns.

At any given time, she’s working with any number of clients (directly or subcontracted, solo or as part of a team) who each have multiple, simultaneous marketing campaigns across any number of channels (google/meta/yelp/etc), each of which is running with different parameters. She spends a good amount of time simply aggregating data in spreadsheets for herself and for her clients.

Surprisingly we haven’t been able to find an existing service that fits her needs, so here I am.

It’s been fun for me to branch out a bit with my technology selections, focusing more on learning new things I want to learn over what would otherwise be the most practical (within reason) or familiar.

Wut.Dev (https://wut.dev) - a fast, client-side, privacy-focused, alternative to the AWS console.

I got tired of using the AWS console for simple tasks, like looking up resource details, so I built a fast, privacy-focused, no-signup-required, read-only, multi-region, auto-paginating alternative using the client-side AWS JavaScript SDKs where every page has a consistent UI/UX and resources are displayed as a searchable, filterable table with one-click CSV exports. You can try a demo here[1]

Unsolicited feedback (and take with grain salt since I’m probably not your target buyer)

- the subheading is describing the “how” not the “what”. Meaning, what would you use this product for?

- in general, all the headlines could be preposition from the “what” a user would do scenario. Eg instead of saying “Resource Relationship Diagrams” … say “See Resource Relationship with Ease”

- if I’m understanding the tool correctly, this seems like a “lookup” tool. In which case lookup.dev is for sale … just fyi.

Much appreciated! I just put this homepage together recently, so this is really helpful feedback.

Currently building a SaaS for product management to make up for some of my own defects. Looking for beta testers if anyone is interested in trying it and providing feedback. There will definitely be bugs but I plan to start using it for myself to help me keep up on some projects I'm working on. The big thing I'm excited about is AI Risk Analysis, which will review the dependencies and hopefully catch bottlenecks and issues before they cause misses. Current URL is below. Name is pending. Just had Google tell me something that sounded cool.

I'm currently building a suite of free AI tools for the beauty niche:

https://www.nose-shapes.com Upload a selfie and an AI model classifies over a dozen nose types (Greek, button, fleshy, flat, etc.), plus tips on contouring and finding complementary glasses.

https://www.foundation-shade-finder.com Snap a photo and our AI analyzes your skin tone + undertone, then recommends exact foundation shades from brands like MAC, Fenty, L’Oréal, Estée Lauder.

https://www.golden-ratio-face.com Measures facial proportions against the "golden ratio" to reveal symmetry and aesthetic balance—perfect for beauty enthusiasts and content creators seeking visual harmony.

All of them are no‑login, instant‑result web tools. I'd love the get any feedback from accuracy and UI to feature ideas or niche extensions.

I have been writing a few technical posts about how ML is used to show ads: https://satyagupte.github.io/posts/how-ads-work/

A screen reader for linux. My aim is to carry around my Raspberry Pi 500 or some other mini keyboard with a tiny computer embedded in it and have it serve as a fully functioning computer.

My hope is to make it easier to use a computer blind than with my usual workflow with a monitor.

My background is in NLP, research, and startups. I joined a power company where I saw a clear opportunity to use AI for automating equipment inspection from drone images.

But the environment made it hard to move fast. The systems were outdated, and there wasn’t much support for building AI tools in-house. That experience made me realize I needed to grow beyond the modeling layer. There were things I wanted to build, but I didn’t yet have the full skill set to do it on my own.

So I’ve been learning full stack development. I had built a small chatbot app before, but this time I’m applying what I’m learning toward a focused MVP for the inspection work. It’s been a practical way to connect what I know with what I want to make real.

Funny, I actually have a very similar story, where the plan was also to use drones/AI for inspection of power equipment. For the same reasons as you I quit to work on my own projects, but I discarded the drone project and went another way. Best of luck!

I'm working on Fro (https://fro.app)

Haven't released properly yet - not sure if it's stable but oh well.

I don't like using my personal email to sign up for things. But there are definitely things that I do want to sign up for - newsletters, try out some services.

I know there are temporary email services, but I actually want to use these services. Of course there is Apple email that forwards to your real email.

But, I also don't want to flood my inbox.

Anyway, I wanted to receive these transactional emails in my personal Slack.

So, that's what Fro is for (https://fro.app)

- Sign up - get an email address - link to your Slack channel

And you can now catch up on those newsletters via Slack.
