Optimem, a spaced repetition learning app that aims to be a user-friendly alternative to Anki. Or a more effective version of Duolingo.

Have you heard of comprehensible input? Seems to be better for languages.

Yes! I’m working on adding that to the app in the next update.

i am working on a really cool word game that has a TUI graphical style, it looks like a roguelike but has a bit more going on. i also seem to have figured out a way to do automated "fun factor" testing and get bugs/frs that sound like real player feedback, as a little bonus treat. doesn't seem like anybody is attempting that kind of thing with agents, might try to codify it. trying to spend a lot longer thinking about a game's systems/meta and developing slowly vs. hypersprinting which is fun but exhausting.

I like to make videos involving lots of kinetic text that is synced to audio but they always took ages to make. This was an experiment in ai assisted video editing with a strong feedback loop so the agent can self correct.

It's also my exploration into using local models and rendering to keep as much as possible on device. Over time its grown into something pretty useful so I decided over the weekend to release it generally.

I’ve been building an offline first animation webapp. CRDT-driven to support eventual team features. Just got tweening working this weekend, exporting to video is next.

Just started:

1) bad apple on my kernel (OS)

2) language model + inference engine from scratch

3) sketchdaily.net, but you give it your own pinterest board of references instead of the preselected ones they have

I like the concept. Your website needs screenshots.

At present the screenshots would consist of a billing system :)

I already have a product BenkoPhone.com but the app is provided by a 3rd party and I just white label it so I have started building the replacement.

I built the account management and billing system first after implementing a proof of concept for the app then had to do a major platform change which stalled development of any other features for 3 months.

Hopefully I’ll be adding features again by the end of this month and I’ll put some screenshots in once it actually does something!

i'm not building anything public, but i started learning rust recently and using zed's gpui for building native apps. i've built a few apps for my wife but then i got stuck with nothing to build. so maybe there's a chance someone needs a non vibe coded desktop app maybe we can work something out (email in my profile)

working on adding webmcp support to my new free tool https://easyanalytica.com/tools/gsc-insight , webmcp was recently added to codex desktop app and it would be interesting to see how users use it with ai, would it get good adoption or it would just go away.
