I'm still working on CT RailTime. It's an app I made to make traveling on CTrail better. CTDOT's app they've outsourced is really bad and broken most of the time. People who use CTrail deserve something that works.

Working on https://www.woltspace.com/ over the last few months. It’s my take at an agent orchestration framework

It builds around the concept of “wolts” running a lodge. A wolt takes the identity of a rodent (racoon, beaver or otter) and can inherit any supported coding harness: claude code, codex, opencode, etc. Each wolt carries a persistent identity and memory, so they always know where you left off.

woltspace is designed to help you host your apps directly from woltspace on your machine. If it works on your machine, it works anywhere. This is done through Cloudflare tunnels that you can setup with your own domains (or using ephemeral domains).

Under the hood, woltspace is powered by tmux, which means that sessions persist and can easily be resumed and accessed from anywhere. I personally drive woltspace mainly from the telegram integration, which gives me access to my wolts and CLI literally from anywhere. This means I can chat with Claude code CLI from anywhere, spawn new sessions, all running on my own infra. It’s also all in a docker container so you don’t have to worry about approving every single command.

95% of woltspace was built from within woltspace, and it’s becoming my prefered way of building.

Another feature I really like: the “inter wolt communication layer”, IWCL, allows wolts to chat with each other, making things like having fable orchestrate a gpt 5.6 something that works out the gate.

Woltspace is meant to be used by power users (you can bring your own tmux config and use the TUI CLI) or by beginners. The default split pane makes SEEING what you’re working on really intuitive. Each wolt can host its own website where they can render arbitrary html making planning new features much more intuitive.

It’s all open source, and I’m constantly adding features to it. Woltspace is mostly self documenting, all of the features are also skills the wolts have access to. I'm also improving the documentation surrounding the project as we speak.

Looking for some feedback and users to try it out. You can one line install it with

curl -fsSL https://woltspace.com/install.sh | bash

My own IDE!

https://github.com/paradise-runner/toast

It has all the parts I want (lsps, syntax highlighting, a file tree) without the parts I don’t (a bundled terminal, tracking, ai)

My wife hates clutter and the junk that we've accumulated the past few years because of our two children receiving junk toys.

I built a simple wish list app that anyone can create a wish list and share without the need to create an account. Great for birthdays, evergreen lists, Christmas, etc.

Why don’t you throw out or donate the toys if they’re in acceptable condition? No need to hold on to gifts you don’t like.
