A tool that detects potential signs of overwork in incident responders, which could lead to burnout. To compute a per-responder risk score, it integrates with Rootly, PagerDuty, GitHub, and Slack.

We offer both a hosted version (https://oncallburnout.com/) and a self-hosted one (https://github.com/Rootly-AI-Labs/On-Call-Burnout-Detector).

We are building https://desplega.ai which is a QA agent that help teams ship fast without compromising quality.

We focus on making it as fast as possible, integrated into CI, MCP for local dev, and support both an autonomous (we call it discovery) and guided test creation approach.

We believe that in the era of vibe-coding, quality is key, as we are lazer focus on building a solution that scales with your product, and removes the burden of QA from your team.

Technically, we built an in-house engine that is in charge of generating the tests, that speeds up and gets better the more you use it.

I'm working on some documentation for my framework/ide (https://glitter.nz). I'm thinking about all the new things I'm really hoping to add.

Currently building a service around the domain https://ScamAI.com

the service is a suite of online vetting and due diligence tools for website flippers, Fb marketplace sellers/buyers and Tiktok shoppers

The domain has an interesting backstory. I acquired if it n 2022 from Epik after they stole the $10,000 I had deposited into their Escrow service. The money was meant for acquiring a newish stable diffusion hosting website that was competing with civit.ai. When the Epik issue was discovered, the seller pulled out.

Acquiring that website could have changed my life.

I'm working on a lightweight next.js alternative named after my dog: https://github.com/davedx/dex.ts/

It's going fairly well, I'm more or less as feature complete as I want to be. I might do something addon-like at some point to make scaffolding apps with shadcn, tailwind, prisma and friends a single command. Like shadcn does with components.

Feedback welcome!

Building a docs website [1] for my speech-to-text CLI tool, hns. I use it 5-10 times daily to transcribe my voice, and a few developer friends I've shared it with have also adopted it for daily use. They like that it runs in the terminal and keeps all data local. So, felt like I should write down guides for new users to get started quickly and to highlight key use cases.

Building this documentation website using Docusaurus. This is my first time using Docusaurus, and it feels like a very nice tool for quickly developing a documentation website.

What I am working on is my masters thesis in bioinformatics supports/HPC: "Predicting the running time of bioinformatics tools", by running (initially) 5 tools 1000 times each with different parameters and then fitting a curve.

I am pretty sure I can get 70% predation rates +/- 10% . Unfortunately, I'm blocked by the lack of hardware. Kind of not-quite school affiliated (so I cannot really ask for national computing resources), so I am trying to build a single threaripper pro node on my own. Hurts the wallet, but if added to slurm as module, this can have implications.

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.

I'm working on an app to display charts, analysis, and data on English football league games.

The real goal is to figure out how to use code gen AI (Cursor) effectively for data science projects and to figure out rapid deployment. I'm pushing things a bit harder than you typically see in demo apps (e.g. different chart types (e.g. violin plots, heatmaps, line charts), interactive charts, JavaScript widgets interacting with Bokeh charts, etc).

I'm trying to figure out all the skills, processes, and training you need to build a technical app very quickly. I'm at the deployment stage now.

I'm working on Fillvisa.com - a free, browser-based tool that lets you fill complex U.S. immigration forms (like DS-160, AR-11, I-90, etc.) entirely in your browser.

It mimics the official USCIS forms but autosaves locally, validates inputs, and lets you download a ready-to-submit PDF - no signup, no uploads, no tracking.

It’s meant for travelers and immigrants who just need to fill a form once, and as a side effect, it’s become a great acquisition funnel for my paid B2B product, VisaSimplify, which helps immigration lawyers automate client intake and PDF mapping.
