I built this while working on a data center design and management tool. Interactive react components for rack and network design. https://react-networks-lib.rackout.net/fibre

I've opened this demo, on a flagship phone from 5 years ago. And this phone almost spewed its guts out trying to render it.

Why is react still considered a viable tech?

I am working on a repository for AI Intent Driven Development at https://github.com/Exadra37/ai-intent-driven-development/.

An Intent is a self-contained document that describes a user request. It is composed of three main sections: WHY (the motivation), WHAT (the requirements, often in Gherkin language), and HOW (a detailed, step-by-step implementation plan defined with tasks). This approach ensures clarity and alignment before any code is written.

Still hacking on some data tools:

DuckDB for stream processing:

https://github.com/turbolytics/sql-flow

Lightweight kafka stream processing using DuckDB as the execution engine. 300MiB runtime can easily handle thousands of messages / second.

Working on a Kafka Connect alternative:

https://github.com/turbolytics/librarian

Right now mongo replication (through changestreams) is supported to kafka. Working on Postgres support right now.

Building an ai powered threats deception proxy. A dynamic honeypot system that uses AI to mess with attackers.

When someone tries to hack your app, it detects them and serves up fake responses designed to make them think they're getting somewhere.

The system learns from attackers behavior and serves ai generated decoys to waste their time and frustrate their efforts.

It's basically a trap that gets smarter the more attackers poke at it.

MVP version at https://github.com/0tSystemsPublicRepos/IfritProxy

Simple feedback collector. Something I end up building in every project, so why not built it once and productise even just for myself. Still building out the dashboard, some clustering, and automated PRs (by Claude Code)

Problem: I collect a lot of music I come across in playlists on Youtube/YT music/Bandcamp, but tracks often disappear for various reasons.

Working on: Offline Youtube playlist download manager. It uses YT-DLP to get all my music and then enriches artist/track metadata using MusicBrainz, AcoustID, Discogs, LastFM, Spotify. Runs as an offline webapp so I can browse and play music locally. Might play around with recommendations for fun later.

Happy to publish the repo if anyone else would find this useful.

Just shipped Scrype, a library for devs who want a cool way to showcase their code.

It's fully typed. Works with vanilla JS, Vue, React, or just a script tag.

Got some feedback that it may not be the best UX-wise but let me know what you guys think!

Demo: https://devjeff.info/scrype Repo: https://github.com/DevChanQ/scrype

I've been building SageNet, a voice-first AI coach that turns your goals into structured, adaptive learning plans.

After a 2-minute voice conversation, Sage generates a personalized 6-module roadmap with build-first projects. It checks in by voice, analyzes your reflections, and regenerates your plan if needed. You can invite friends to your Support Squad for accountability.

The biggest insight so far is people don’t want “infinite content.” They want structure and someone who remembers them.

would love feedback!

Working on adding Apple Intelligence to my macOS app built to analyze iOS app size metrics. I'm hoping to have a locally running assistant that can act like an iOS build engineer to provide optimization opportunities and more: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dotipa/id6742254881.

Right now my app allows users to export build metadata as JSON which can be interpreted by LLMs for analysis, but I'd like to have this work on-device.

https://www.ottoclip.com - Create product-focused content that stays in sync with your product.

Create a script for a product demo or tutorial for your app using an extension. The script is used to generate your product content in multiple formats (narrated video, interactive demo, looping animation, and in-app guide). Whenever your product changes, just update the script and regenerate everything. No manual re-recording of video, syncing of audio, or any other post-production steps.
