I’ve been working on a Postgres extension for running local LLM inference “inside” Postgres (inference runs in a background worker, while Postgres stores the jobs, inputs, outputs, and receipts)

#812I'm working on making unstructured operating knowledge maintain itself. If a customer's phone number changes, that goes in the CRM. But if a salesperson learns the customer is planning to open new locations, everyone else who talks to that customer should know, and today they mostly don't. In fact, there's probably not even a good place for that valuable nugget to be stored.
The information exists. It's in email and Slack, in threads with the customer, internal discussions, meeting transcripts. But nobody updates the customer page since the payoff is deferred. We're trying to update it automatically.
Maintenance looks doable. Cold start is the part I don't have a good answer for yet: how do you work out that a company cares about customers, competitors and products as entity types, and build those lists for them, without handing them a setup task? That's what we're tackling next.

#815Quit my job in May. Been working on a hiring platform that I’ve always wanted. I wanted it so bad I quit recruiting, taught myself to code, worked as a developer for 12 years, and now I’m building it :)

#816I'm still working on Freundebuch, a personal CRM. I'm a long-time user of Monica ( https://github.com/monicahq/monica/ ) but was unhappy that not much was happening. There is Chandler which is the next-gen version of Monica, but it has taken a direction which I don't like, as it is geared more to journaling. I required a tool where I can put my contacts with all their details and also map out their relationships and…
Been wanting to develop something like this. Used Monica but didn't go further with it.
Have you read: https://sive.rs/hundreds ? I wanted something that resembles with Sivers talks about there (which is what you seem to have with circles).
Read through docs. Seems like a solid piece of work. Good luck

#818I'm currently working on a JAX Pallas demo for Apple GPU that works by translating jaxprs into Metal shading language, compiling that, and then executing with buffers from Python exchanged with nanobind.
I planned this as just an exercise for me to learn more about MSL, GPU kernel programming, and to shake off the rust on numerics accumulated since studies, but if anyone wants to try it, you can find it at https://github.com/nicholasjng/palladium.

As a founder in the same space I am curious what problem are you solving?
And good luck on the journey.

#820I got laid off at the end of April and have been building my own personal dream tool since, it's a skeuomorphic carpentry simulator with an agent MCP. You start with real wood specs and a shop full of miter saws, router tables, table saws and the like. Think of it like Sketchup but no extruding rectangles. It's been really fun to build with. Agents can create parametric procedures so e.g. stick framing becomes a simp…
Awesome! Built a sliding keyboard desk with a drawer for an 88 key MIDI controller. I've been wanting to custom build one of these for a while, this will help!
