Anydrop.org A zero-friction, cross-platform alternative to AirDrop. If your device have a browser, you can drop text or files to it. Doesn't matter if the device is a pc, mac, linux, phones, tablet or smart tv. There are no installation or login, just load https://anydrop.org on the devices needed. Also support live realtime notepad sync and clipboard for easy share of text snippets. All shares are end to end encrypted.

The other day I got into some pretty weird territory with Claude, trying to map out what an immortal ASCII cat would look like. Basically an autonomous Tamagotchi.

The idea was to create a quine that runs forever on something like Akash network with its own crypto treasury to support and pay it's bills and try to replicate. It would then talk to an LLM for support and actions on what to do to stay alive.

It got pretty out there. Stored some of the ideas here.

I’m an application developer by day, but lately Claude Code and Codex have finally made microcontrollers approachable enough for me to start tinkering with them on the side. I built this little “holographic” display that shows the surf forecast for any beach. While my friend built the casing, and mechanical part of it https://x.com/paulnovacovici/status/2041722840190480581?s=46...

any details on the display itself?

I'm working on Tidepools, a daily journaling / task management app (local-first, Mac/iOS/web) with a proactive AI coach. Mostly what the coach does is ask you questions. It can also suggest tasks. Right now I'm working on sandboxed plugins that the coach can modify, so the user can request behavior changes.
