No unity, no engines. Only a custom homemade engine https://github.com/willtobyte/carimbo
- Tablex (https://www.tablex.pro) - seat arrangement app for weddings, seminars, conferences.
- Kardy (https://www.kardy.app) - group card app I've always wanted to build.
- Jello (https://www.jello.app) - Create games with your own photos and sound effects!
I started it because I wanted a CAD I would actually enjoy using myself. The idea is a simpler, assembly-first workflow instead of a full engineering CAD.
It’s still very early and rough, but I recently got the first real loop working: model → export STL/STEP → slicer → 3D print.
The goal is something between Tinkercad and the big CAD tools - simple, local-first, and not locked behind subscriptions or cloud accounts.
There is a wealth of data that's behind CSVs and other data formats. This uses DuckDB as a common (local) database to cache and run queries against, and enables going across datasets for insights using LLMs.
Applications on the public cloud raise strong concerns about data protection. As an architect, I spend a meaningful part of my time ensuring the security of customers’ data in the cloud.
Bao introduces an innovative approach where data remains on local devices while the cloud provides encrypted storage for synchronization and peer exchange. Because cloud providers cannot access the data, the need for due diligence is reduced.
Any feedback is welcome.
It's basically just a frontend to a semantic search system, and is a tangent while I explore "knowledgebase" concepts.
I'm extremely interested in knowledgebases at the moment.
