I'm atm working on a couple of things, first the biz, a self-hosted home server OS that simplifies Docker management and provides a unified dashboard for running services at home. The goal is making self-hosting more accessible without sacrificing flexibility.

And also building as a hobbie a procedural universe generation engine that simulates galaxies, solar systems and planets in real-time. Everything is generated from a seed with actual orbital physics, seasonal changes and so... Built with Python/Flask backend too but Three.js for 3D visualization and React instead of Vue3 as in the prior one. Think No Man's Sky vibes but as an explorable simulation engine really D:

I really like the range memorization tool from GTO Wizard, but want to be able to put in custom/arbitrary ranges to test. I also want to be able to import and simplify ranges from other sites. Work in progress, but every scenario is url encoded (warning: subject to future breaking changes) and I use those urls in for links in my Anki decks.

I'm working as a school teacher of Computer Science for Year 6..9. Currently I develop an online collection of exercises for intro to programming.

I have exercises:

- on turtle, using my DSL with three commands: 4[100 r90] draws a square

- on robot (blockly)

- a 2D replica of Replicube to teach conditions in JS.

I've started vibe-coding it two months ago and I add new stuff whenever I need it for my classroom.

I'll soon add signups.

The platform will be free forever, monetized via banner ads somewhere in the future. The target audience is middle school teachers of CS.

We are close to landing our first customer - an enterprise-level one at that! We're Geneva Business Messaging, a tool to centralize, persist, and if necessary escalate critical interactions between large companies and their partners. For actual collaborative cross-company work in fields like engineering, logistics, or security - not spam, marketing, sales, or the other frequent purposes of B2B apps.

We're at genevabm.com if you want to check it out!

I really missed an old mobile game that got de-listed after the devs sold it to a company that subsequently ruined it. I'm a full stack dev, not a game dev, I don't have time to learn the ins and outs of Unity so I tried to see what was feasible in the web world with Babylon.js + React + Capacitor.js and I'm pretty astounded at how well it works out.

I've been posting a bit on https://www.reddit.com/r/BlossomIdleGarden. I plan on opening up a beta later this week.

Prediction model for false positives to help my University SOC.

Automatic dataset builder and cleaner. (End product would be something like, you type that you want a dataset for dog breeds, and it builds and cleans the data automatically)

Working on a curated Hacker News x AI newsletter.

There’s so much nuance in HN threads that often gets missed elsewhere, so I decided to put start this newsletter.

Initially started as an experiment for 10 issues to see ig it gets traction, 6 issues in it’s at 68 subs and probably will continue for unlimited time period.

Developing a fingerprinting method for identifying music masterings! Like Shazam but to tell what version of an album you have.

The idea being able to compare measurements to see what mastering you're really getting - because they are NOT all equal. With the remasters and stealth replacements on streaming, it seems like every other month I wake up one day and my favorite music sounds worse (or is gone...). Now I can measure it and help find what versions I really want to collect!

I may end up trying to make a fingerprint database/tool that sits in between MusicBrainz and Discogs. That way hopefully the community can standardize and quantify some of this info that only lives ad hoc in Steve Hoffman forum threads or partially on sites like https://dr.loudness-war.info
