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.

Goofy sideprojects:

https://dnsisbeautiful.com - clean, ad free dns lookup tool.

https://evvl.ai - combination of Github Gists and AI output comparisons (evals)

https://finalfinalreallyfinaluntitleddocumentv3.com/ - free mac app to intelligently rename any kind of file (photos, videos, audio, text) based upon their contents.

I like finalfinalreallyfinaluntitleddocumentv3.com Now you don't have to worry about getting domain names, you can version them all the way with the vX. The final boss can be finalfinalreallyfinaluntitleddocumentv3_final.com

It was genuinely quite frustrating that all of the "normal" domain names were taken for this, but not actually used (basically everything "moniker.TLD").

What was surprising was that all the prefix+suffix variants of app/now, etc. were also taken so this was really just me trying to push it hard the other way.

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

I am working on Kastanj. It aims to make cooking as foolproof as it can get. Anyone should be able to cook any recipe and get it right on the first try. Clear step by step images and instructions for everything etc.

It also features a recipe manager with family/friends sync. This makes it possible to upload your grandmother’s cookbook and share them with your whole family.

It's a personal project, but inspired by OpenClaw (which I find way overhyped), I am building an ambient intelligence layer for investment finance including a 3-tiered memory architecture, sensors (for environment scanning), skills, reasoning agents, and a new agentic UI concept only for that purpose.

I wrote about it here: https://jdsemrau.substack.com/p/pair-programming-superbill-w...

what does devarch do exactly? why not OSS?

It’s meant for serious engineers. I have zero interest in opening it up to vibe coding clowns that think they can cheat and build without discipline.

It may be that my target audience is already building their own “devarch” but I still have to validate the ddd parts and that will be a differentiator.

My sales are likely going to be corporate via consulting connections.

DevArch enforces quality gates during a session, supporting modular design and development, tracks progress within and across sessions, and validates by automatically writing thorough tests.

There’s a ton of prompts I never bother with anymore because DevArch does things for me.

Last week I wrote the spec for a couple of vanilla JS https://danielgormly.github.io/primavera-ui/dnd/ that I've handwritten in the past. I used the spec to vibecode them + a few follow-up correction prompts. Honestly the robot did a better job of implementation than I would have. Just can't compete with the speed.

Very early days but will keep updating them & adding more.

I just launched bookcall.io publicly last week. Think calendly that treats your scheduling page more like a sales funnel. Very important if one call can make you a bunch of money. Page builder, brand assets, videos, documents etc. attachable. Forms, video calls, everything included.

Also launching a supabase security scanner. If someone wants a free scan hit me up. Includes POCs and verification before and after remidiation. Goodbye false positives.

I just became a father and feel like it could be helpful if I have an app tracking my son's status. He has premature birth and we're all very worried about him.

I don't want my son's data to be sent to any 3rd party so I vibe coded: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bebilog/id6759827652

For Android?

No, not yet but maybe I can do it next! I don't like Flutter or React Native, because I only want to experience 100% native UX. I feel like nowadays vibe coding is so popular that big corp should say bye to electron and build everything 100% native.
