I'm working on a web app that creates easy-to-understand stories and explainers for the sake of language learning. You can listen in your favourite podcast app, or directly on the website with illustrations.

Most of the testing so far is English/French/Japanese/Mandarin, but I'm eager to add more languages if anyone is fluent and willing to help me evaluate the text-to-speech.

I'm starting to shift my energies towards building more hardware and less web/mobile apps for side projects.

I'm currently working on Dice of Sending - for when you want to roll physical dice but you play DND online. This is mostly just for fun with my DND group.

I’m building DB Pro, a modern database workbench that makes working with Postgres, SQLite, and MySQL fast and intuitive.

I’m documenting the journey in monthly devlogs.

Here’s the first devlog: https://youtu.be/cSY-C8oiUU8

You can check it out here. We're very close to launching a v1: https://dbpro.app

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.

Looking at an ancient game called Trias/Ternii Lapilli and learning/using maths to figure out if it can be solved https://tom-dickson.com/blog/trias-game-investigation/

It’s similar to tic-tac-toe but slightly different of course.

Found it a great opportunity to learn about new areas of maths. Trying to figure out where to go next with it.

Correct and performant way to calculate historical value of a portfolio. I want a pure function, but taking a date as input is insufficient because users can edit holdings, and securities can split.

Weighing the tradeoffs of doing this calculation server or client side. That'll be an architecture shift away from my current set of background jobs fetching state and towards something more functional and on-demand.

I am building https://pagereport.app where you can talk to agents purpose built to help you improve your conversions from your landing pages but at fraction of the costs.

I aim to make it into a agentic system that provides you expert level CRO analysis but at fraction of the costs then those expensive CRO consultants
