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.

I'm going all in on my side project CodeBrew, a Java IDE for iPad. Currently working on OpenGL support for 3d graphics, as some schools requested the feature. Also I'm finally pitting some work into aquisition, which has turned out to be much more fun than I anticipated.

Go check it out, its free to try, with a one-time purchase full version:

Rates your sleep, tracks sleep debt, and tracks how workout timing, coffee time, AC temperature, etc influence your sleep.

2.0 is in review - adds support for recovery (based on sleep HRV, HR), and strain.

A multi-agent TUI that uses opencode and tmux to help me solve the frustrating LLM slot machine problem. I find that running 3 agents in parallel on even tough problems is enough to have one that builds what I want.

It’s also been a fun challenge to build a tool that can be used to improve itself

I'm building an app that helps users memorize Kanji and vocabulary with AI-generated visual and story mnemonics.

Right now, I'm adding a feature to practice writing Kanji and another that creates AI comics based on vocabulary you've learned.

I am building a foundational layer for building C++ apps using Bazel.

I am working on creating a standardized set of paths and third party libraries that work seamlessly across multiple developer teams. Allowing library upgrades to happen transparently in the background. This will enable developers to focus on business specific logic and not have to worry about the intricacies of the build system and allowing to "magically" work in the background. This is allow foray into Bazel and using it as a learning exercise to master it.

Disenhackifying one of the last pieces of my KaithemAutomation server that still feels not best practicesful.

Device driver plugins used to have a very simple flat key value, strings only format, with a set_config_properties function to tell the host what kind of UI to show.

That's all getting replaced with JSON schemas, with some auto-upgrade shims so old config keeps working.

It's one of many things that now seems completely insane, but made sense when I had way less experience a long time ago!

Also still on and off working on my BLE/WiFi based Meshtastic-alike.

Working on adding MPD [1] client mode to my music player: https://github.com/olegantonyan/mpz

Currently it works as standalone player. Addition of MPD client mode opens possibility to play music on a separate device while keeping the UX of the music player that I like.

I'm working on a video / post on how to solve the 1 billion row challenge (https://github.com/gunnarmorling/1brc) and get a competitively fast result while keeping the code readable and maintainable.

So far I'm within spitting distance of the winning entries without using any unsafe code or bit twiddling tricks or custom JVMs or anything like that, and having all the concerns nicely separated and modularized.

Excited to share soon!
