Dealing with some rough stuff in life so I'm involved in random stuff to distract myself. Moved my personal blog to Astro. I wanted to scratch and itch I had about self hosting my comments. So I built a lightweight node-based opensource comment system called discuss - https://github.com/karthikeyankc/discuss.

I am working on Understand-Anything, trying to use AI to teach you how to understand something. The problem for me, as a beginner in lots of aspect, is do not know what question to ask to AI in a area that I am not familiar with.

I’m working on what I call a Software Delegate [0].

You delegate a task or GitHub issue to it and it uses AI coding agents and developer tools to write the code, run checks, read failures, fix problems, and iterate until the result is good, then comes back with a pull request. It does everything a human dev would do, fully automated.

Working on my language. Recently implemented shapes for objects, like in Self and V8. Reviewing and polishing up the code before publication.

Also working on a handheld computer project. Did improvised thumb typing tests with paper and a stack of notebooks to determine my typing area. Next step is ordering some switches to see what they feel like.

I’m building a UI design app similar to Figma or Sketch, but with a few differences:

1. Responsive artboards and flex-like layout engine

2. Deep support for design tokens

3. HTML/CSS previews and export

4. Multiplayer AI and human collaboration. Agents can connect to documents and collaborate like any other user.

Built in Swift and cross platform Mac, iPad and iPhone.

I’m designing and building the UI and implementing the underlying features with Codex. So far it’s going surprisingly well.

Working on https://gigspool.com

- Building a platform where talented people can list the services and skills they're experienced in. Clients can book paid sessions with them directly through the platform, and once a session is booked, they both meet online to discuss, collaborate, or get advice based on expertise.

Like upwork consultations?

Similar idea, but more focused, no job postings, no proposals, no contracts. Just find an expert, book a paid session, and meet.

Working on analyticmind.io to help small teams with the decision making process. I feel like I've lived through a few too many decisions that didn't make sense to me or the rest of the organization.

working on https://datavessel.io - Talk to your google analytics / search console / shopify store in plain english.

If you're not crazy about GA4 complexity and the like, this little SaaS will help you connect your data sources and talk to your data in plain english. (using agentic loop)

It's bring your own key model and It's free for resonable use (infra still costs so there must be some limits)

Otherwise feel free to try it out.
