I'm working on a free replacement to the NY Times daily mini crossword after they started charging for it and I didn't want to pay. https://www.jepeto-mini.com/ (DNS may still be propagating).

A fun project with lots of challenges finding word lists, refining them, using AI for clue generation, etc.

I played it, and it was fun. Some feedback (I'm on mobile) is that it needs UX improvement.

At first I wasn't sure what I had to do, it simply throws you into the game, and it's easy to get confused with the numbers around it, because usually if there are numbers, there is going to be somewhere (usually at the bottom) the numbers and the clue for each of them.

It took me a bit to find how to get the clues from the vertical words (double tapping).

The onscreen keyboard isn't very responsive in the sense that I had to tap several times the backspace to delete a letter.

It doesn't allow to play again :(

Thanks for the helpful feedback. I'll take a look. Yes, you can only play once per day.

I'm working on a Yelp alternative called Vibehuntr -- just something different to browse venues using Google's API, with a social layer so I can see what my friends like. It's very rough around the edges right now and it might be completely different by next week. It's been a fun experiment in vibe coding on a full stack. https://vibehuntr.io

I am currently working on a fork of Alt+Tab replacement Switcheroo to show all available windows in a tabular format. Current windows in the center. Apps with many windows on the left sorted by process name (e.g. Excel or PDF windows). Pinned windows such as open emails on the right. https://github.com/coezbek/switcheroo

I'm making an app for self-tracking. Combining elements from habit trackers, health logging and journaling. Built for rich customization and local-first. Want to be free of rigid structures of many existing apps while providing a better UX / usability than using a spreadhsheet.

Working on some tailored to my needs tax reporting software. I submit claims to my workplace in batches under a number of different categories. Using this as an excuse to get better at some bits of SQL, leaning Textual as well, which I'm hoping to use in other things. Other than that I'm cooking a few IRC bots that I swap to when the other code becomes a bit too boring

New (open source) PostgreSQL index type for analytics workloads, which is a read-only drop-in replacement for B-trees. Smol is multiplicatively faster than B-Trees and radically smaller.

https://github.com/asah/smol

Help, alpha testers, etc all welcome. Sorry RDS/Aurora users: smol is for embedded and self-hosted pg instances only for the foreseeable future.
