Im finalizing the Google Calendar integration for Ganttify. https://gantt-chart.com

It will allow users to fully manage their calendar in a Gantt chart. Complete with customizations like dependencies between events, custom colors for time blocks and custom icons for single-day events (“milestone”-like).

Ganttify is a Gantt chart add-on for web applications or services that can benefit from a Gantt view. My goal is to expand the number of integrations for Ganttify and release a new integration every month or so. If any of you have an interesting (niche or non-niche) idea to integrate Ganttify with feel free to contact me.

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.

I’ve built a small suite of honey-do automations for public defense attorneys in Washington (selenium scripts and OS calls to do docket intake / organization)

Currently packaging as a windows desktop app, recording a demo video, and then distributing

Created https://www.spreadcheer.net - a Christmas list app that can store locally, isn't full of ads, no login required and should be pretty fast

I've been working web scraping using LLMs, I just shared one of the libraries I created to get structured data from arbitrary pages: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45870231

Instead of sending the page's HTML to an LLM, Hikugen asks it to generate python code to fetch the data and enforces the generated data conforms to a Pydantic schema defined by the user. I'm using this to power yomu (https://github.com/goncharom/yomu), a personal email newsletter built from arbitrary websites.

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)

A flashcard app for my main stakeholder (My wife)

Software to track wealth (net assets). All GUI. Using Delphi and compiling for macOS.

Also learning Zig. Would be cool (but a huge effort) to port Delphi’s VCL or Lazarus’s LCL to Zig and create a RAD environment.

Added compression to my metal 3D printer slicer exported CAM files, and refactored the code to better support larger volumes.

Tweaking the piezoelectric driver PCB design for the micro-positing microscopy stage project. The Nanomotion piezoelectric motors were not meant to be used in the manner I chose, but it is fun to push the limits of technology.

Finishing up some custom 1U mounted hardware, and getting a batch of test PCB soon. Bend radius came back 1mm oversize, but this was acceptable for a single run item.

Also involved in several other projects maybe 3 people would care about. Doing a custom FPGA PCB is not very fun unless encountering that rare class of problem CPU/MCU simply can't handle cleanly. =3

I've created an AI-assisted writing platform, that doesn't generate text, but instead lends focus to human creativity, and have AI assist you instead of trying to replace you.

https://www.arcitext.com

You create a writing style via existing text examples, blog posts or URLs, and Arcitext extracts a "writing fingerprint" which it benchmarks new text against.

There's a solid Markdown Editor with tools such as Tone Fit, Rewrite suggestions and Fact Check, which helps you when you need it.

Kind of like having a writing coach and content strategist on speed dial.

I am working on methods to automate my VC firm. We have a small team and many different tasks to do. I’ve had success with using LLMs to help us automate various projects. But I appreciate any open source tools, techniques, readings, etc. if anyone knows any!

what sort of tasks are you trying to automate?
