I've been iterating on the type system of a somewhat-kooky programming language I'm developing: https://github.com/mkantor/please-lang-prototype

NixOS VMs for agents: https://machine0.io

Really cool!! I'm messing with NixOS in VMs too.

One fun thing is that you can use them to let agents iterate, testrun and propose their own next versions. I guess you're even using NixOS to declare the surrounding infrastructure.

Well, all of a sudden, now that I kinda quit my gaming time sink, all my mini projects are finally being completed. All small, but useful, things for my setup that seem to slowly become a part of a bigger personal project. And between that kid and lots of books.

Ngl, it is weird for me now. If this is midlife crisis, I am loving it.

I'm working on a TUI Hacker News reader made in Rust! No AI, no credentials needed.

I'm building Lexeme (https://trylexeme.com), a SaaS service that tracks how AI models like ChatGPT cite and describe your product vs. competitors, and tells you what to fix first based on estimated revenue exposure.

https://dataraven.io managed rclone for object storage. It’s for teams running cloud-to-cloud transfers, migrations, and scheduled syncs without having to own any infra.

I'm focused on the operational features rclone doesn't have out of the box: notifications, centralized logs, team access, audit logs, and analytics like bytes transferred, objects changed, and failure rates. Recently reworked the guided onboarding flow and im adding more storage providers.

The BYOV secret support is pretty unique and im surprised more platforms don't support the model.

I'm trying to make it easier for non-technical folks to publish websites: https://weejur.com

82 sites published so far, with a really weird and wide range of content.

Working on a simple WYSIWYG website editor to go with the current functionality.

I'm working on a web app that animates hand drawn human characters. You try it here without any login or anything:

http://doodlemate.com

It doesn't use generative AI, instead it auto-rigs the drawings in just a few seconds.

I'm building a small video utility app, built on top of ffmpeg. It allows you to convert from/to different formats, split a video into clips, combine videos into a single one, take screenshots…
