Against my better judgement, I'll post this landing page to a tool I'm working on:

https://wasm-drydock.dev

About an hour ago I was dismissed as AI slop on the r/rust Reddit. Whatever.

This tool is my line of defense in case `trunk` goes dead, which it seems to be increasingly likely. It helps me build fullstack sites using Actix Web and Yew.

Using it now to see if I can re-invent my blog site for the umpteenth time. :)

A visual explorer for the trees of San Francisco.

For all the places it's bad at, AI has been fantastic for making targeted data experiences a lot more accessible to build (see MotherDuck and dives, etc), as long as you can keep the actual data access grounded. Years of tableau/looker have atrophied my creativity a bit, trying to get back to having more fun.

Very much mvp but I just got this all set up: https://www.pginbox.dev/

Downloaded and parsed a bunch of the pgsql-hackers mailing list. Right now it’s just a pretty basic alternative display, but I have some ideas I want to explore around hybrid search and a few other things. The official site for the mailing list has a pretty clean thread display but the search features are basic so I’m trying to see how I can improve on that.

The repo is public too: https://github.com/jbonatakis/pginbox

I’ve mostly built it using blackbird [1] which I also built. It’s pretty neat having a tool you built build you something else.

A proxy server to give my agent access to my Gmail with permissions as granular as I like. Like can create filters to custom label but not send to trash. As my inbox is at 99% due to years of zero discipline giving my email out to every company on the web :)

I’ve been iterating on nights and weekends on a hackers news like website that sources all content from engineering blogs (both personal and company blogs). I have about 600 of the total 3k rss feeds I’ve collected over time loaded up, just tweaking things as I go before dropping the whole list in there: https://engineered.at

While the main app is closed sourced, the rails engine that handles all the rss feeds is open sourced here: https://github.com/dchuk/source_monitor

I have another version of source monitor getting by published soon with some nice enhancements
