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…

I'm improving my web app to learn languages with short stories: https://webbu.app. I've been making it easier to track your progress, hear pronunciation of words, and adding more advanced levels.

I think stories are a good approach, although there's something grating about the voice / monotony after 1-2 stories. Have you thought about narrating yourself?

I‘m building a way to record and replay AI image and video generation API calls to any provider so that in testing, people can save money. This is part of our AI media model gateway https://lumenfall.ai

working on contextflo https://contextflo.com - building for companies with 1 person data teams who just want their data to be accessible via claude/chatgpt/cursor to everyone, no need to setup a complex BI product when you just want to run adhoc queries on your data. supports postgres, snowflake, clickhouse, bigquery, amplitude.

some interesting use cases are coming up where people want to query across different data sources (postgres + GA4) via chat. Feel free to reach out if you want to try it out.

I’m working on a project that blocks agents from breaking rules. The rules are enforced through hooks and work across Claude Code, Codex, and GitHub Copilot.

A local web UI with text editor and terminal (with Claude/Codex) where you can code apps, edit the code in the browser, view previews (spins up Docker containers) and promote previews to production. An all in one mini SaaS manager.

still working on wellbody - guided body health. most people know that they need to integrate fitness, nutrition, mindfulness, and recovery into their goals but don't know what to do or its difficult to organize all these topics into one system. that what wellbody does - organizes these topics into a unified system and refines it into just 3 daily actions.

my biggest struggle is distribution but I started working more on getting better a social media content creation. you can check us out on TikTok, YouTube, or insta: wellbodyapp

Kafkaesque, a wire-protocol compatible Kafka mocking service.

Worth kicking the wheels if you're currently using embedded or dockerised Kafka in your tests.
