I'm working on my guitar practice app, Captrice[1]. Last week, I added an interactive metronome tutorial[2] in the app to help onboard beginners (quite a challenge). This week I'm planning to implement the long pending "device sync" functionality - currently it's a local-only webapp (it's all static pages; no backend server). So for the past couple of days, I've been learning and evaluating the existing sync solutions.

The app has been my long term side project for more than 2 years now. I've been playing guitar for more than 20 years, mostly as a hobbyist. It started as a personal project and I've got immense value out of it in terms of speed building and consistency of practice. I believe other guitar players can find it useful too.

A few months back I got a burst of inspiration to pursue it more seriously. After my last contract ended, I've been primarily working on it. Eventually I may go back to contract work again but for now I'm excited to spend dedicated time on it! Do give it a try, or share it with guitar players in your circle.

I'm testing a bunch of Saas ideas, all micro or smaller. I got to launch the first one last week; a feedback collection widget and board so users can submit feedback anonymously. Its a simpler version of Canny or UpVote; and with an MCP and API backed in from the get go.

I got inspired by the guys behind purelymail.com so I'm keeping the pricing simple $9/mo or $90/yr per project. The free plan has every feature, capped at 50 feedback items.

I'm running a promotion for the month of August: http://shiplog.ca/fairwinds

Mu - Tools for Agents. An MCP server and web app that provides real time access to news, markets, weather, video, places, search, etc. It's sort of extension of a previous idea I had to put all the key tools and services behind a single api and access token. I don't know that it's quite there yet. The idea might change. Still looking for feedback.

Im working on a form backend app - fun little project I'm building on the side. It's pretty simple and self-explanatory - you point your HTML form to a url the app gives you and you can start accepting submissions without having to worry about backend code/infra. Would love to hear from you if you found it useful in some way or another. https://basilform.com

I'm working on a platform that aggregates a business's operational and financial data and builds a causal model on top, deriving target metrics like FCF or EBITDA. With that model we can forecast different scenarios — what happens if we open a new shop, raise prices, take a loan. We also generate reports: weekly overviews, anomaly detection, deviations from targets. All of this is essentially a harness for an AI agent that customizes the platform for a specific business and integrates its data sources. Large companies have dedicated teams and sophisticated tooling for this; my bet is that small and medium businesses would benefit just as much, and with recent progress in AI it's finally possible to deliver it tailored to each case at very low cost.

My primary target right now is e-commerce due to rich data streams, however if you think your business would benefit from this tool, I would be happy to connect and discuss it.

Enjoying retirement. Amazed how fast I was able to just stop thinking about software. It's very liberating.

A daily estimation game: https://estimatle.com

Every day, players answer 5 questions that require estimating some quantity, such as distance, year, cost etc. Then you can compare against answers of other players and the real answer.

Working on finding the right balance of questions that are both fun and also help understand facts about the world.

I have been working on a static site generator. I've used Hugo and Jekyll before but everytime there is something you have to learn or get used to and they never map 1 to 1 to the flat structure of a simple blog for example.

It's a few classes of C# right now that parses a folder and auto generates the navigation, links, titles and summary off of the folder/file structure for the 1st level and then subsequent depth is mapped to individual items in the list view not on the nav bar (although I did that too, it looked weird with higher depth). So if you have a folder with 3 files and 2 additional folder you get 5 links in the nav bar, 3 content pages and 2 list pages. No other setup is needed. No llm written code, but I used deepseek v4 flash to ask various questions and get samples of some things.

I forgot just how much depth there is to exploring a simple problem. Loving it!

Building a modern typing application.

https://typequicker.com

I believe typing is probably one of the most important skills in 21st century for knowledge workers and yet one of the most neglected. Hoping to change that.

Anyone can learn to type fast, without having to think about or look down at the keyboard. We are building the best tool to help people get there quickly
