Climbing gym photogrammetry. My idea is that route and climb recordings is best recorded against a 3D climbing gym model, rather than a plan video, and technology has gotten good enough to do with a regular phone.

As a climber myself, to climb effectively, one has to review their own climb, and with other people. 4D video, body positions across time, is very helpful in improving climbing. I managed to get a reasonable result (far from good) from one video, rather requiring multiple camera angles.

Haven't gotten to monetization yet, but I am enjoying every moment of making it.

I put my flat in the UK on the market recently and it has given me a lot of insights into how broken the real estate market is! One thing I found particularly annoying is how dominant rightmove is and how much of the traffic for house hunting they control.

As a small way of standing up to them I created https://rigove.co.uk/ (rightmove without htm - the hidden toll machine ;)

If you change rightmove to rigove while browsing a property for sale you get a page which shows where else that property is listed.

It is only a few days old so it is currently more miss than hit but I plan to reach out to estate agents to increase coverage as quick as I can.

I too got laid off at the end of April. So what I've been working on since then has been AI. But of course, being the contrarian that I am, I'm trying to make small language model AI usable. The end goal is to complete all the pieces I need to create an AI empowered tool that you can point at an authorized Network, and it figures out on its own. What needs to be monitored. Learns what normal looks like on your network. Build your dashboards. Working both as systems monitoring and network monitoring. So right now my GitHub is full of both things that I need, for personal use, in this goal. Also with things that I need because they will become tools for the final product. https://github.com/linuxrebel. You'll get to see my contorted mind at work

I'm figuring out stepping stones in getting closer to user data autonomy. A natural starting place is our professional history.

So, I'm building a compatibility layer; something that works with everything - including your own vibe-coded personal CRM.

It's already helping - even something as simple as correlating calendar events with new connections so that you always know where you met someone.

I'm going whole hog on LLM-driven development to build out an old school FOSS forum that can run in resource-constrained environments with a minimum of fuss. Think phpBB but written in Rust with modern UI niceties and a SQLite backend. My hope is that interested parties will be able to deploy this on random SBCs or Unikraft and use cloudflared to expose their service to interested parties. Watching old forums that I used to frequent get gobbled up by VerticalScope makes me pine for the days of small self-hosted communities that existed for the hell of it instead of monetized interaction.

Multi-language libs with implementations in TypeScript/C#/Swift/Zig so that they can be used directly in web or native apps:

- A Markdown parser/renderer (https://github.com/andrewjk/allmark). The TS version of this was hand written and the other versions are AI translations.

- A Git client (https://github.com/andrewjk/gitologist) and a diffs parser/renderer (https://github.com/andrewjk/differator). These were vibe coded in TS, checked and then AI translated.

I’ve used these libraries to build a native Mac Markdown notes app (https://staunchapps.com/stash) and a JS script launcher (https://staunchapps.com/launch).

I got sick of being on Zoom calls and having things lag or glitch, and not knowing if the issue was something I'm responsible for or not. Is it my LAN/Wi-Fi, my ISP path, some broader Internet issue, or Zoom?

So, I built a tool to answer that. Major goals have been to keep low energy/cpu usage (so I can run it 24/7), have it adapt to the apps/traffic I'm using (rather than use static monitoring endpoints), and to deliver both at-a-glance answers in the menubar and in-depth detail in the dropdown.

It's called Breakdown. It's a free (for typical uses). It's Mac-only for now (but if enough people ask for Windows I'll port it).

A new spec, TPX, which is meant to enable building SaaS where the user brings their own inference:

https://tokenpony.dev/

It has a few potentially interesting side effects:

- enterprises can plug their preferred LLM into the SaaS they use.

- self hosters can extend their rigs into the web.

- simple SaaS products can offer LLM integrations without their entire pricing model being upended by LLM hosting and infrastructure.

- we can all live like Ender in Xenocide and have a personal AI that has context on everything we are doing.

- have a no op provider for people who are anti llm.

Working on the chainsaw for my centaur form factor robot. Have one part to machine then just need to weld everything up and will be ready to try it out. It uses a motor and controller sourced from an E foil, and has 2DOF position control. https://www.satyress.com/buildprogress

I've also been slowly chipping away at a Jagged Alliance 2-like game in Godot. Nothing to share yet but if anyone else is also frustrated that there hasn't been a good video game since Jagged Alliance 2 and you want to work on it reach out to me through the contact in my profile.

I'm working on DB Pro [1]

A modern database client with dashboards, saved queries, workflows, and yes, AI built into it.

I've focused on building brilliant UX over the last year, and it has paid off. I've had two emails saying that they have cancelled their Jetbrains subscription for DataGrip which has been so validating.

It's been a labour of love and I'm super happy to have disrupted even a small part of the ginormous market that is database clients.
