I got laid off recently and finally decided to dedicate some time to learn Rust, I started to work on an an idea I've head for a while, to create a game server to play Thai chess inspired by lichess.org, in fact, I plan to use several of their assets.

I'll use Rust for the backend even though it's probably an over kill, but it's the best way to learn for me, doing something with the language. I have some of the front end move logic and board done, I plan to start working on the API soon, after I finish a Rust book I'm reading. Here's some of the code if anybody is interested: https://github.com/thaichess-org.

I'm building Duolingo for blackjack card counting. It's a Progressive Web App so you can install, learn, and practice cross-platform, and it is designed to combine a mastery-styled lesson plan (e.g. you can't move onto until you demonstrate mastery of the current lesson) along with exercises and tools for keeping the skills sharp. A complete novice should be able to pick it up and become a profitable blackjack player.

It also contains tools for scouting casinos, logging sessions, calculating effective profit-per-hour based on table rules, and other things a professional would need.

I'm in the process of polishing it up, and am aiming to launch Fall 2026. Current pricing plan is to be ~$10-15 per month for the pro tools, but provide the offline capabilities, lesson plan, and learning tools completely free without ads or weird gimmicks like a limited number of lessons or practice per day.

Ever since I read this https://paulbupejr.com/developing-the-optigap-sensor-system/ I've wanted to build a system that takes in a shape and adds bends and fiber routing so you can dynamically create readable objects. I was initially imagining wanting to add the bending points manually but I'm not so sure that's the best practice and I may want to think of a heuristic for good vs bad bend points before even considering the UI.

I also bought some cheap gloves from harbor freight and used a needle to route fiber through each finger to make a simple power glove like thing which I think I can connect to arm arm to make a cool robot game. I think of the two I am more excited for the first but its much more work than the second and my day job is getting more exciting than I would like so by the end of the month I'll have had to pick one to finish.

Launched a suite of media inspection and encoding tools a few months ago, based on FFmpeg. Slowly getting more customers.

Constantly iterating through refinement and features. It's built on Rust + Tauri with a React frontend, in case anyone is curious.

I've created various open-source and commercial tools in the multimedia space over the last 10+ years and wanted to put it all together into something more premium with an IDE-like experience.

Most recently I added a /playground area to experiment with the inspection tools via a WASM build, which I thought was a neat way for users to try the app before downloading the full version.

Happy to answer any questions!

I am still working on a Linux dockbar for X11 and Wayland, it has all the goods of dockbars I have been using throughout the decades now, 60+ applets baked in, fairly good customization, etc * https://docking.cc/ * https://github.com/edumucelli/docking

I'm working on a family organizer app Mana - The AI-Connected Home App for Households & Trusted Circles https://share.google/dCKfODeN7c1QhHhft

My family has gotten into camping the past couple years. I was navigating around the Texas State Parks' website and got annoyed trying to find the right combination of amenities, trails, etc.

I decided to make my own version of the state parks website which surfaces precisely what you need for all parks in one place and make it filterable. I've been adding states and features to it for the last month or so and I'm up to 20 states and 1252 parks.

I try to keep each parks' fire bans, alerts, and events updated on a cadence.

I'm still working on https://openaltfinder.com; a directory to help people discover open-source projects. Added quite a bit of new features over the last month, including a new weekly newsletter, and a way for people to find beginner friendly issues: https://openaltfinder.com/contribute

It's been tough, for some reason both Google and Bing completely erased my site from their indexes.

Another thing I'm working on: https://getpinnd.com - A small social network for map makers.

I built a macOS terminal (libghostty wrapper) that runs iOS simulators (and mirrored physical devices) in a Metal-rendered pane inside the terminal.

It works with standard tooling: for example, if anything in one of its tabs runs `xcrun simctl boot`, the simulator just shows up as a pane in that tab. There's a CLI for the things simctl/devicectl don't cover: taps, gestures, rotation, accessibility tree, etc.
