A few things:

https://terminalwire.com streams a TUI/CLI from web apps without having to build an API and

I recently finished 45 videos at https://beautifulruby.com/phlex, so now I’m talking more about them and

Updating https://sitepress.cc to work with Rails 8.1 and thinking about another set of videos for it at https://beautifulruby.com/sitepress.

I’m building RootCX (https://rootcx.com). A customer "operating system" replacing dozens of SaaS tools.

As a second-time founder, I've watched the SaaS boom create an ocean of best-of-breed tools. Each solving one slice of the problem. One solving it end-to-end.

Now every company runs on a patchwork of apps, APIs, and workflow hacks just to keep customer context alive. It's insane how normalized that's become.

RootCX starts from the opposite premise: the customer is the core, not the app. Everything: CRM, support, billing, workflows, AI, ... plugs into one shared customer base. Less juggling tools, more actually running the business.

This looks cool. But that means people need to use your own apps right and you will have to provide apps for every niche? This sounds a bit like an ERP system, similar to what https://www.odoo.com does.

I'm building an analytics and attribution platform for onchain apps, named Formo.

https://formo.so

Think Google Analytics + Posthog designed for crypto users and apps!

I've learned a lot about data engineering and analytics in the past year.

I am working on building neospark - AI native canva

And we are now recruiting our first group of seed users. If you're excited to shape the future of design and be among the first to try neospark, please visit our homepage and join the wishlist through https://useneospark.com/

We'll send you an exclusive invitation the moment our MVP is live.

I’m developing a Mac desktop application that allows you to rewrite text using any LLM (via OpenRouter). Currently, users select text, copy it, and activate Cliptomic with a designated shortcut. The application then rewrites the text and replaces the original content in the clipboard, enabling easy pasting of the improved version. This project is still in its early stages: https://github.com/PaleBlueApps/cliptomic

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:

Mockaton. An HTTP Mock Server with a dashboard UI for changing mock variants on the fly. For example, for testing retries.

I'm working on a paragliding track visualizer: https://skyviz.io - I started it just for myself, then it kind of got out of control, and now I'm spending wayyy to much time on it After many years of working on enterprise crud apps, it's so refreshing to actually use some maths and 3d programming again :D But now it seems the the only way forward to make more out of the product is by doing marketing... Something that is absolutely NOT my area of expertise nor interest

A website that lets you match watches with different straps to get a feel for how it'll look.

Mixing and matching watches with different straps is something that I really enjoy doing. It's not often easy to tell ahead of time whether the combination will work.

Making advanced multiphysics simulations and optimizations accessible through a simple web interface and AI chat agents. I’m building SimuPort (https://simuport.com ) to lower the barrier to running and iterating on complex simulations. I’m interested in hearing from anyone who has needed these kinds of simulations in practice (e.g., optimizing airflow in devices, analyzing thermal–structural interactions in prototypes) or who has experience with tools like Ansys, OpenFOAM, COMSOL, SimScale, or similar. What worked, what didn’t, and what’s still missing?
