A DSL and app for defining workouts/progressions. Primary audience would be powerlifting/strength+conditioning/etc coaches to program for their clients. Not sure if it will ever go anywhere, but it's an area I'm somewhat familiar with and a fun way to explore some new tech/ideas.

I have 30x500, so I need to work through that at some point, which my disrupt the above.

I'm building OnlineOrNot (https://onlineornot.com) - it's (yet another) uptime monitor, with a twist.

Key differentiator being that it also does page speed monitoring (actual page speed metrics like first contentful paint and largest contentful paint), and tracks your page's resource size over time.

Currently in alpha, with a free tier if you want to check it out.

Still working on https://github.com/openmiko/openmiko - a fully open source firmware for security cameras that doesn't require some cloud server. Privacy and security oriented.

I am working on https://firedating.me - a dating site for FIRE (Financial Independence / Early Retirement) enthusiasts. One can also look for friends there. The stats are public: https://firedating.me/open The site is 100% free and even ad-free. It is my hobby project and I just enjoy helping others, meeting interesting people and learning while developing it. Looks like loneliness is widespread in the FIRE community…

If you want to work together on building an app, let me know! I have several decently successful iOS apps on the store including Hacker News client HACK.

I am working on adding post/comment reply notifications support to my Hacker News app HACK:

https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/hack-for-hacker-news-developer...

I made my app MacOS compatible last week and got a few requests for notifications support, so now I am adding that. Not having a HN API for such things is a bit hard to work with.

I am mostly working on Free Hero Mesh these days, which is a puzzle game engine, for turn-based grid-based games involving objects moving around, such as sokoban and Hero Hearts. (It is a reimplementation of a game by Everett Kaser Software (done mainly by making various experiments to determine what the correct behaviour is), but with a lot of improvements, including but not limited to being Free software.) You may write on the NNTP if you are interested to use it or help with it in any way (and/or complaining about it, preferably constructively).

Right now, we're in the launch phase for https://snapsure.app

We're trying to help photographers get alerts when conditions are going to be just right for the photo they want to take, but in a much simpler way than most of the other apps out there.
