https://pagewatch.ai/ - make sure LLM's can understand your site.

There is a surprising amount of edge cases that can cause ChatGPT or others to misunderstand your pages. Some models can handle div based tables, some want alt tags but cannot understand title tags, etc.

I built the tool to check your site as close as possible to what a human would see and then compare it with LLM's.

It was a weird journey trying to tease this info out of the models, they will happily lie, skip checking sites or just make things up.

I started working on Rio[0], a modern TypeScript HTTP client for Node.js 24+, Deno and Bun. It's built on the native `fetch` API and fully type-safe from request to response. It's still very much a work in progress but I'm working towards an alternative to fetch/Axios/ky I wish I had.

My friends and I would often sit in pubs trying to guess the top 10 most streamed songs for a musician so I had a go at turning it into a browser game.

https://topsongs.io/

Had a lot of fun doing it and it's more user friendly than trying to read off lists from stream aggregators online that have a lot of ads etc.

First ever go at something like this so any feedback is appreciated!

https://struktur.sh

An all-in-one tool for structured data extraction with LLMs.

$ struktur extract —input doc.pdf —schema schema.json —model openai/gpt-5

- can prepare documents (PDF->text etc.) - run multiple different extraction strategies - runs a full agent loop for data extraction in-process using Pi agent and just-bash.dev. It can grep through large files for example.

https://approximated.app

It makes connecting user domains to your app easy and reliable at any scale. Each Approximated user gets the own globally distributed, managed cluster of servers with its own dedicated IPv4 address. Includes (unlimited) edge rule features, DDoS protection, webhooks, and more. Make a simple API call, tell the user to point an A record at the IP, and it’s connected to your app with its own SSL certificates.

Built/building with elixir and phoenix, which has been fantastic.

I'm working on an alternative solution to Ansible and Puppet, trying to mix the best of both world: The pull-based aspect of Puppet, by having an agent running on nodes, and the simplicity of Ansible, by writing playbooks and roles.

It's called Peekl, and is available on Github. Tho it's still in what I'd called "alpha". Lot of new features to come!

An alternative to Oracle's VBCS Plugin for Excel [1]

Oracle's plugin allows you access Fusion REST Endpoints (your business data) from within an Excel workbook but it only works on Windows machines and has some other limitations.

Also added a plugin for inspecting punchout payloads for RSSP [2]

I’m building an application for documenting modular patches, mostly for my own use case. It uses ML to recognise the patch points, knobs and toggles from a photo of the front panel. You can then build racks from the scanned modules and then store presets of the knobs and connections which are displayed as simple schematics. Idea is ultimately to have it on an iPad as reference to accompany a live performance. Had some fun fine tuning the cable physics engine.

https://citellm.com

Building CiteLLM, an API that extracts structured data from PDFs and returns exact source locations for every field.

There's also a widget so you can add click-to-verify to your own app in a few lines of code.

Click any value, jump straight to the highlighted source in the PDF.

Demo: https://citellm.com/demo
