Besides my regular work i am going a bit into learning programming and took a problem to fix for me =) As a Sysadmin back in the days i always got along with bash and a bit of python... Now in IT Management i want some quick overview and started to build a app (macOS) that just lists the issues assigned to me... Simple API stuff with a bit of Swift around - really like it so far - will Show HN when done & ready for real world comemnts =)

GBP (Google Business Profile) is getting extremely popular for B2C business marketing - e.g., https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=...

We just received the API usage approval from Google, and I'm integrating GBP to https://pinpost.io this week (our reliability first social media management tool)

I like splitting firewood in my backyard, and I thought there should be a game about it. So I'm making this:

I've been building PHP Handlebars, a spec-compliant implementation of Handlebars in pure PHP:

I've also been developing Cropt, a zero-dependency JavaScript image cropper which works great for cropping and scaling profile images before upload:

Chartlibrary.io - an intelligence layer for AI agents rooted in chart pattern search. Return 500 similar stock charts to the one you a looking at. Give those distributions stats to an agent, disect into buckets by variables. I think it’s a new way to interact with stocks for the agentic world.

We are working on making our programming language BAML turing-complete. https://github.com/boundaryml/baml

It is a language that is embeddable in other programming languages, with the type system similar to typescript, and a runtime that is similar to Go.

People use it currently for structured outputs with llms but soon we will support orchestration and more.

We are letting some users have an early access preview! Let me know if you are interested in hacking with it!

Still working on ghidra-delinker-extension, trying to wrap up the OMF object file exporter at the moment. Then I'd like to implement generation of debugging symbols (at least DWARF and CodeView, maybe STABS and CTF), although lately I've received a PR for PowerPC and an issue for delinking shared objects.

I'm also thinking about writing the Necronomicon of delinking at some point. The extension keeps spreading by word of mouth and there's only so much UX improvements I can do, for something that requires throwing everything you've learned in CS 101 into the trashcan before you can "get" it.

Since I don't like the UI and UX of the current offering of diagramming tools I've made https://grafly.io. Fully local, open source, export/import and embed sharing.

And since I don't like the complexity of logging/metrics SaaS offerings I made https://logdot.io.

I'm continuing to focus on ways to set strong code quality guardrails in an era where most code is not handwritten.

The result is http://getcaliper.dev.

It has a number of mechanisms that help substantially:

1. It can extract deterministic quality checks from your CLAUDE.md text; these checks then get executed after every agent turn.

2. It performs a lightweight ai-powered review at every commit; feedback goes directly to the agent, which can then make corrections.

3. It performs a more 'traditional' deep AI review at merge, or on-demand.

Free to use, just bring your own API key. Any and all feedback is welcome!
