AI agent workforce: https://github.com/rush86999/atom

Now with OpenCode Go integration. I'm rapidly fixing as many bugs as I can, and with the same subscription. Thank you, DeepSeek!

Making legacy 20+ years Java Swing apps run inside a Browser using WASM and JS glue code with CheerpJ/OpenJDK runtime. WASM has a bright future for running native apps. Both WASM and JVM are stack machines. WASM beats on startup speed and memory footprint. But performs bad on compute. Since WASM lacks networking sockets, JDBC is broken.

Always great to see uses of CheerpJ in the wild. Make sure to join our Discord to show the community what you are building.

Text message reminders and automation.

Send the service number a text message like "call Dave in 2 hours"

and then in 2 hours you get a text back that says "call Dave"

Open in private beta if you're interested email:

I'm updating Metabase's Podman documentation to reflect using Quadlet instead of "the old way." It's my first open source contribution in quite awhile and while it's tiny I'm excited for it. It's a chance to get to know pi.dev, not to write, but to behave as a copy editor and fact checker. Since it uses Mistral on the back-end it's a slightly insane copy editor and fact checker, but that's almost better. It's forcing me to check everything I say.

So I am working on building a low latency streaming dataflow framework - ala gnuradio but actually usable in production. The idea is to have deterministic latency as a first class objective and let all the other benefits fall out of that.

Additionally:

Live graph reconfiguration Timed events Easy simd support Support for non-mmu based architectures Imperitive configuration management and querying at the single runtime level. Can be compiled to wasm, and run in the browser (w/ coors headers). IO/user interface and any GUI is done via typescript.

I’ve been gearing up for launching Todone, a CLI / GitHub Action that can scan comments with URLs to GitHub issues, Figma comments, or browser support pages, and more (plugin system available); and open an issue when the issue or comment is resolved, or your target browser has that feature, etc

It’s still in flux and a bit slow as I have to juggle it with my day job, but pretty excited to launch it once it’s good enough for a 1.0!

Finally, after at least 5 years of trying, I've figured out a photo storage engine for myself, backed by a SQLite database and Cloudflare R2.

https://metallian-photos.fly.dev

It's an Actix Web/Tera/Datastar concoction, hosted on `fly.io`. It provides the backing for galleries for my music site: https://crusty-metallian.net

Now, if only I could actually write something for the blog part...
