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 reasonabl…

#302I've been building the most advanced automotive diagnostic app on the market I used to be a mechanic, and spend a lot of my free time working on project vehicles, motorcycles, tractors, trucks etc. I wanted a tool to track the tasks I needed done, then a way to easily access VIN info for parts search, then I DMV records, and finally built an iphone app to scan the OBD2 diagnostic codes and hook them up to a custom ai…

#303It started getting some search impressions and clicks, so I decided to launch the next 9 of the top 10 ideas that ChatGPT came up with for this type of site - won't post all of them here, but https://the-dwell.com/ (data on ship and truck dwell times/port congestion) is doing the best thus far from a traffic perspective.
First I had it send me a weekly analysis of the GA4/GSC data to see what could be improved about the site, but I've since automated that - each week it reviews traffic and search queries, then updates articles or creates new ones to meet demand. So now in theory I have a full engine to launch these sites and have them self-improve over time. Kinda neat to see all of that being done autonomously.
The thing that these sites really need are some backlinks, so I'm thinking through how to get those. I had ChatGPT generate some lists of places that might find real value in linking to these sorts of things, but I'm unwilling to let an AI agent start emailing people. I'm going to try sending some emails to some of the places that seem like a really good fit, see what the response is, and if it's good try to figure out how to do that on a larger scale without AI email spam.

#305## Tab Highway: Browser extension focusing on the UX/process of decluttering
It turns tab cleanup into a game.
When you pile up too many open tabs or whenever you want, it opens a night drive where each tab is a road sign you drive through or send to the trash.

This is still a work in progress. It works on my machine, but not fully distribution-ready.
## A short satirical blog on the overly-expressive/interactive web experiments fueled by coding agents.
Ironically, the project listed above falls in the same category.

#306The control plane is entirely in Elixir, using Jido & Oban to help power tools it gives an agent to get your app deployed. Uses k8s currently for the infra, but I've made the app => spec => build => deploy layers completely agnostic so we could switch out providers & methodologies in the future.
Looking for people who want to throw apps at, it's still early so no guarantees yet. You can find the website at https://infrastry.ai/ (still a brain wreck of ideas, working on it!) and I made a Discord for feedback at https://discord.gg/sBkS5ZMM3t

#309It now has power management, a launcher, iOS-inspired Control Center, an AI voice assistant (using OpenAI Realtime API), a tamagotchi-style app and I recently built the iBeer app :D

#310- https://headsnap.io -> a platform that you can generate images of yourself based on 4 selfies.
- https://quantiq.live -> a service providing financial and historical data for stocks, as well as government trades.
- https://aivestor.tech -> an AI agent that picks small/midcap stocks and trades them using Alpaca API. It uses Reddit, news, polymarket, Google Trends and many other data sources to take investment decisions.
- @Polyglot_lingua_bot -> a voice-enabled Telegram-based bot that can help you learn new languages.
- https://select.supply -> a directory of carefully-curated and well-crafted products.
All of those allowed me to quit my day job and live a comfortable and flexible life. I still invest time in maintenance and adding new features, but I love coding, marketing and everything that comes with promoting and selling a SaaS (and I also have a serious addiction for Stripe notifications).
On top of that, I developed my own software agency where I help clients build and scale software (https://bitheap.ch).
