I’ve been reverse-engineering an obscure childhood game called Entomorph:

https://github.com/entomorph/reverse-engineering

I started the project when ChatGPT 4 was first released, using it as a way to explore what LLMs could actually do. I also find working on it very relaxing, there is something cool about uncovering secrets hidden in code for more than twenty years.

Recently launched my free app for gardeners to share plants with each other, Plantshare.

Now I'm working on a few changes to the app, most notable is moving any plants marked as 'for sale' out from the main section because it turns out people are more greedy than I anticipated and it's getting in the way of sharing the free stuff, cuttings etc.

There's also some demand for a web front end so I might work on that next. (currently only android and ios)

I had an initial boom of downloads in South Africa but lately most new downloads are in USA.

I've been really frustrated with the state of networking and discovering new career opportunities lately. Both in person and online I feel like there aren't very good tools and I have a growing disdain for LinkedIn. I wanted to make a tool that helps ambitious navigate their career goals and meet people who are going to move the needle. It's called Catalyst: https://getcatalyst.tech/

Ugh. It's time for me to start transitioning my iOS/Watch/Mac programs to be "Liquid Glass-native."

I should be able to do it with my various personal apps, but one app I've written, was done in concert with a professional graphic designer, and he is not happy with LG, so I expect that app to be a pain.

These are my apps: https://littlegreenviper.com/AppDocs/

I am learning Godot engine, going through the list of 20 games in order to build up my experience https://20_games_challenge.gitlab.io/

I am almost done with flappy bird (2nd challenge)

Why? I love the old arcade and game boy games, and I want to recreate them to my liking. I also love mechanical systems and space rovers, and I want ro build worlds to explore and simulate these things

Thanks for the link to that 20 games challenge. Godot is fun and something I want to get back to eventually!

Tired of having my notes spread everywhere, on uncomfortable software, I'm writing my own Notational Velocity desktop app clone in Godot:

(work in progress prototype, design is not final)

Intentionally made simple and centered around plain text files and editing speed. I've spent a week on the prototype, now it's good enough to dog-food. Would like to eventually distribute it as a multi-platform app.

I'm working on a man in the middle proxy for BGP, which can fix and inspect routing sessions on the fly. Like a firewall for the BGP control plane.

Some time ago I was building a mitm proxy myself, then I found out about: https://www.mitmproxy.org/ Maybe you already had it in your radar

That's for HTTP/S and related, as parent said his is for BGP which is a completely different protocol

Building an MCP Gateway: https://www.gatana.ai/

Idea came from one of my clients, where they wanted to use AI agents throughout the organization but at that moment there was no centralized governance or security concepts. This pulls everything at one place and tries to solve the security concept with per-user credentials, which can be provided out-of-band through the MCP protocol (generated a one-time link end-user can use to sign in to the underlying MCP server with OAuth or provide API key)

I'm building a tool for managing Google Ads campaing called Rudys.AI:

- Search campaigns: - automatically crawl website, find the offerings and generate new campaigns - Provide qualitative recommendations such as, relevant terms to include/exclude, e.g. including typos as keywords, improvements on landing page

- Shopping campaign: - Smart labeling of all products to allocate the budget among Top performers, Rising and Ghost products to avoid draining the budget. E.g. instead of a campaign with 10k products with one budget , turn it into 5 campaigns with different budgets doubling down on what works.

Feel free to reach out for a demo
