I made a database[1] a few months ago and now I'm beginning work on a Github replacement (for me). Here's what I'm thinking for the UI[2]. I'm not trying to have feature-parity out the gate, I just want something that doesn't give me the ick. I self-host public repos with cgit but that's too basic and there's no built-in support for private repos.

The existing Github alternatives...look like someone drawing Github from memory.

I'm doing a house price guessing game for the UK:

https://housepriceguess.com/

It's just a fun game but can be useful for people wanting to get a better sense of what the real estate market is like at the moment.

I should really have added a bunch more games by now but I've been sidetrack. Mentioning it here has already given me a bit of motivation to do that now.

Any feedback will be much appreciated.

It's an ADHD medication companion. It helps with remembering to take your meds, understanding the effect curve, getting lifecycle notifications (when it peaks, when it starts to wear off), pacing multiple doses throughout the day, and managing your supply.

It's built for iOS and uses the apple ecosystem to ensure privacy for your health data. Data is stored in your own private iCloud account and we do not have access to it.

I am working on my 2nd macOS app - https://www.vinaa.ai/

I use Claude Code and Codex for coding but don't want my regular chats in those apps. I prefer to keep all my chats in one place so I can go back and search easily, that is why I built Vinaa.

Nowadays I'm more curious about how I can use AI for marketing. I'm experimenting it with building an SEO agent system

I'm working on StoryStarling (https://www.storystarling.com). It creates custom hardcover children's books from scratch around any idea, instead of swapping names into pre-set templates.

We mostly focus on things you cannot find in bookstores: bilingual stories with parallel text for multilingual homes, and non-fiction for kids who have hyper-specific obsessions (like tunnel boring machines or wastewater systems).

I've been working on a daily games platform called fribble - https://fribble.io/

It's a collection of daily games with some classics like crossword and sudoku, some geography games like draw the country shape and pick the country from a borderless globe, and a few more. Ten daily games in total.

Word Shift and Nine Grid are my the ones I enjoy the most. Would love some feedback!

Initially started as WhatsApp Team Inbox. But, now I am adding telegram bot, emails and MCP support. Eventually, I am going to add like Messenger, Instagram, Line, Viber, Discord, Slack, etc...

So, it will be a bridge between your/your business communication and AI via MCP. If you want to create your own agent you would be able to create as well.

I vibe coded mostly, but once a while I go in and refactor heavy.

I built this sql formatter <https://sql.leuduan.work> for my own use - it works by parsing the SQL query to AST using native engines where possible (for BigQuery it use GoogleSQL library, for MSSQL it uses Microsoft ScriptDOM, the rest uses Apache Data Fusion Parser) and from the AST it re-generates the SQL query in a consistent formatted style. You can throw in all kind of badly formatted SQL queries and it will work just fine. Hope you find it useful!

I'm building a CLI tool for Emacs Org-Mode files. It features JQ-like querying, editing files, capturing tasks, viewing agenda, an AGILE-like board and many more.
