I'm working on a sewing pattern software to make patterns with code. It has a bunch of useful features like chopping up the pattern into a PDF for printing. But the thing that really made this software nice to use is the timeline I implemented, where you can go back and see how the pattern is constructed with each segment. It makes debugging so much easier. I have it so you can put different curves into groups, so you can see how just the sleeve is constructed, for example.

I will definitely consider adding timelines to future software I make, it's an awesome feature.

Just finished "WebGPU path tracer in two weeks" to better understand the benefits of WebGPU over WebGL and generate some pleasing 3D scenes right in the browser. https://github.com/ivanjermakov/moonlight

https://concludia.org/ - I've mentioned it here before, it's a site to help people reason through and understand arguments together. No real business purpose for it yet, it's more an idea I've had for years and have been wanting to see it through to something actually usable. You can graphically explore arguments, track their logical sufficiency/necessity, and make counterpoints. It's different than other types of argument theory that just have points "in favor" and "against" because of how it tries to propagate logical truth and provability.

Hosted OpenClaw, one click and you get a full agent with configurable skills, channels and the whole thing, all running in its own sandbox.

I love OpenClaw but setting it up is a pain: VPS, Docker, API keys in plaintext, security patches... So I’ve spent the last couple weeks building a hosted version that handles all of that. Each user gets their own isolated environment on Cloudflare Workers.

Still doing some testing with friends before opening signups but planning to launch properly this week.

Would love feedback on the landing page in the meantime!

I'm working on a (somewhat) realistic surfing game. Tired of arcade-style games, I decided to try my hand at something closer to the real sport, focusing on realistic breaking waves, speed generation and carving, rather than impossible air combos. After one year of development, it's going better than I expected, so I'm considering building a demo to gather feedback and see if there's enough traction for working towar…

I guess the trickiest part is fluid dynamics. Are you using a physics/fluid sim or handrolling your own?

I'm running a BETA on Worn, my tape saturation VST. Made in Cmajor with some help of vibe coding.

https://stoneandsignalaudio.com/

Use code 'FREEBETA' to partake, ~25 seats left.

I'm also making music. I got Suno to do a cover of 2 songs I wrote, although eventually I want to introduce human versions. Also want to make electronic music eventually.

Implementing a hobby HDL for designing circuits in Wireworld and other Cellular Automata. The eventual goal is to create a larger Wireworld computer than the original (https://www.quinapalus.com/wi-index.html). If this project actually ends up working, I may attempt to optimise some large Conway's Game of Life designs. Currently I'm at the stage of rewriting the language's solver.

WIP language spec: https://gist.github.com/Heathcorp/13fcd206fdc38ca6ce001f32ef...

Writing the compiler/solver in Rust with no AI assistance because this is a learning project.

This is pretty cool! I'm not sure how you'd make a business out of it, but I can definitely see myself using it to justify some decisions on my day to day stuff.

I'm also a sucker for serif fonts so points for that.
