SoberStack: a sobriety/recovery tracker built around the idea of focusing on sober days rather then streaks so it's not all or nothing. It uses a Github style contribution graph.

I’m working on a web app called Pitch coach. It has vocal exercises and shows you in real time whether you are flat or sharp. Everything is saved in browser so there’s no account creation. Coolest part is that you can upload a song and it will split the vocals, recognize all the vocal pitches and then you can sing along. Crazy how much you can do in the browser these days! https://pitch-coach.pages.dev

I had a good laugh, I can't sing. Stuck on Get ready. Was there something that was supposed to happen after that? Anyway, play/pause button is too high up, I was looking for it at the bottom of the screen. I like the UI.

This is very fun. Having just tried it with my maybe tone deaf partner, she showed progress when she sang at the same time as the notes. It might be good if there was like a faster looped version where the notes would play more frequently.

A tool that creates sandboxes (docker, podman, orbstack, seatbelt, tart, containerd, kata, firecracker) and then sets up an agent (claude, codex, gemini, aider, opencode) inside it with max permissiveness (no annoying permission prompts).

It creates its own copy of your workdir for the agent to play in, and then you pull changes out ala git diffs or commits.

    $ yoloai new mybugfix . -a # launch default sandbox in . and also attach the terminal

    # Work with the agent...

    $ yoloai diff mybugfix  # See what it did
    $ yoloai apply mybugfix # Bring out commits and/or uncommitted changes.
    $ yoloai destroy mybugfix

And it's FOSS: https://github.com/kstenerud/yoloai

A jobs board for urbanists. I run the newsletter https://urbanismnow.com and our jobs links are some of the most popular and we also get more jobs than we can put each week in the newsletter. So thought I'd spin it out into something a little separate. I've been noodling on it for a while but I think we're about ready to launch.

I've also recently setup Hermes to be a bit of a project manager for my side projects and it's worked quite well. Gave it a little CLI to see my todos, projects, and "areas" (ongoing long term things). Then it bugs me once in a while when a project is going stale. One of the nicest things is being able to add stuff to the past so if I did work on something but it wasn't associated with a todo I just let it know and then it'll backdate that.

Cool! There don't appear to be any jobs listed though?

I built a news aggregator that pulls in hundreds of RSS feeds and uses multiple large language models to synthesize daily briefs. There's also Tech and Finance editions, plus local editions for some US locales. https://feedpunk.com

I'm also building a modern HTTPS-only transport utility called curb. It's an alternative to curl and wget. It's written in Go using only the standard library. curb can stream output or download files and picks the right behavior based on what the server returns and whether the output is going to a human or a pipe. It also has a '--vet' mode that runs the body through security sieves; this is meant to add some protection and friction for the 'curl | sh' use-case. https://gocurb.dev

Working hard to finally ship my co-founded product - Edit Square, an online motion graphics editor https://editsquare.com/ - private invites are going out this week, wish me luck!

This has been in the works for many years! The project originally started as web forms driving After Effects templates on a Windows server, and has now evolved to a point where the web technology landscape has matured enough to build a full-on motion graphics editor right in the browser, using WebGPU and WebCodecs.

Previously I've shared optio - my project for orchestrating coding agents. It ties into ticketing systems and when assigned a ticket, it launches a coding agent in k8s and works until the PR is ready, resuming for failed CI or PR feedback (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47520220).

Recently I've been trying to expand it from just coding focused to any kind of agent workflow. So now there are cron and webhook triggers, and more general agent tasks that aren't necessarily coding focused (https://github.com/jonwiggins/optio/blob/main/docs/persisten...).

I think next I want to try and add features for long term memory for agents, but haven't decided on a good way to do it.
