Building vet. The goal is to automate open source package vetting beyond just CVE but actually identify code capabilities, malicious code and other security sensitive attributes through code analysis.

I recently launched a daily word puzzle!

https://tiledwords.com

It’s inspired by tile placement board games like Patchwork and crosswords. You rotate and move tiles to rebuild a broken crossword.

It’s free, web based, and responsive.

I currently have several hundred daily players and growing. My wife and I create the puzzles and I’m continuing to fix bugs and add new features.

I just launched a ”community puzzle” feature to let players help build new puzzles.

I’d love to know what you think!

I'm making an app for self-tracking. Combining elements from habit trackers, health logging and journaling. Built for rich customization and local-first. Want to be free of rigid structures of many existing apps while providing a better UX / usability than using a spreadhsheet.

Currently working on a take on Pokémon GO + Pokémon Snap but for birding. The goal is to explore your neighborhood, find birds, take good photos of them all. Next month, I'll be doing an event to find a rare bird, excited to see how it goes!

It's still a small closed alpha, if anyone is interested: https://testers.birdlego.com

Here is a rough trailer of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVpR8aafFjI

Slowly but surely:

- A learning tool in Python for Arrays and Algorithms

- A prototype agent-based configuration management system in Perl

- Trying to reinstall Arch Linux on a laptop the second time around (lost my install notes :D)

Mostly doing all of it for learning purposes.

I'm building a coding agent, named VT Code [0]. VT Code is a Rust-based terminal coding agent with semantic code intelligence via Tree-sitter. Supports multiple LLM providers with automatic failover and efficient context management. Support OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Z.AI, Moonshot AI, MiniMax, and Ollama (local & Cloud). Agent Client Protocol and Model Context Protocol fully support. VT Code supports a rich set of configuration options, with preferences stored in vtcode.toml. Has both Visual Studio Code and Open VSX extensions so that you can install in VS Code or Cursor, Windsurf, Eclipse.

I've been building it for several months now and enjoy the learning process, I also wrote a blog post and learnt a ton about terminal, ANSI processing. The learning has been immense for me, I now have working knowledge of ANSI escape codes, grapheme clusters, terminal emulators, Unicode normalization, VT protocols, PTY sessions, and filesystem operations, all the low-level details I would have never think about until I were implementing them.

A tool for creating custom Tailwind-style color palettes for web and UI design that pass WCAG contrast requirements:

https://www.inclusivecolors.com/

The interface is optimized to let you quickly explore and tweak multiple tints/shades at once so you can customize all colors exactly how you want e.g. try dragging vertically through the saturation curve in one motion to edit all the tints/shades at once, or shift whole curves horizontally by dragging between the dots on a curve.

It uses the HSLuv color space, where (unlike say HSL) the WCAG contrast stays the same when you change the hue and saturation sliders. This makes it much easier to explore accessible colors choices as you know only changes to the lightness slider will impact the contrast. You can also switch from the WCAG2 contrast checker to using APCA, which is meant to correct for inaccuracies in WCAG2, such as it being too forgiving for dark mode color combos.

Note the mobile version is more of a preview and the desktop version has more features.

I probably need to add something like a tutorial as there's a lot going on, but I've added more hints and tooltips recently. Open to feedback on what's initially confusing and what changes might help!

I've built a self-hosted reddit-like community platform in Go: https://baklab.app

Users can create their own sub-communities, and within them, set up different categories and boards. Posts can be voted on, and board types can include regular posts, Q&A, or live chat. It's like a hybrid of Reddit and Discord but leans more towards a traditional web community. It also supports server-side rendering, making it SEO-friendly. This project is an extension of my previous Hacker News clone, dizkaz (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43885998).

FreeBSD 15.0. Rather depressingly, almost everything I said two months ago is still true: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45419134

But I'm hoping to have it out by the first week of December.

Built a local-first Kanban board with Tauri (Rust + Svelte) after getting frustrated with SaaS tools and basic offline options. Stores data in JSON files you control, full keyboard-first UX, parent/child tasks, release management, and it's blazingly fast with localStorage + background sync. No telemetry, purely local. Curious what others prioritize in personal task tools. Seems like there's a gap between "todo.txt" simplicity and Jira complexity.
