I'm building an uptime monitoring service, in Elixir, called https://larm.dev . It's a tough field because for some reason people vibe coding apps think this is very easy to do, and there are new apps coming out pretty much every day. I'm still figuring out how to effectively stand out in the noise. I really enjoy working on the app though. The backend is Elixir, with a Phoenix LiveView dashboard. I've got a cluster…

I'm working on a tool for visualizing biological pathways, pulling data from the Reactome knowledge graph for now. Trying out different graph visualization algorithms, it's an interesting problem space as they are all approximations to solving a problem that I believe is NP-hard-- arranging a graph such that all vertices are distinct and you have the global minimum of overlapping edges. Next step is implementing a no…

I’m a physician and interested!

Maybe that would’ve been easier! In any case, I built Mavo to try and centralize that stuff and see…

building kubehub.io , build a private cloud with your own hardware, manage through kubernetes, most important easy to use.

kubernetes on prem setup take a lot of works, even if you setup the cluster there are tons of work wating for you to setup ingress/gateway/DNS/TLS/monitoring.

kubehub.io solves all those problems.

I've been working on a vocal pitch-and-time editor called PitchDance, something like Melodyne. It works both as standalone software or a plug-in for your DAW. The idea is to make software like this more accessible by selling at a much cheaper price than the majors, and only competitors I could find on the market.

Btw, currently I'm looking for some people to test the software, so if you're interested let me know and I'll give you a free license.
