#162A new YouTube app/player, for my kids. It allows us to control the algorithm. It’s all LLM translating to YouTube search queries under the hood. Visually it looks the same. The suggested videos come from predefined buckets on topics they love. E.g. 33% fun math, 33% DIY engineering, 33% creative activities. Video recommendations that have a banned word in the title/desc don't get displayed e.g. MrBeast, anything with…
Anyway, a long way of saying awesome - would love to be on your list. I'll send you an email separately.

#163Working on my Mill build tool, aiming to bring a modern developer experience to the JVM ecosystem: - https://mill-build.org Build tools are generally an un-sexy field, and JVM build tools perhaps doubly so. But Mill demonstrates that with some thought put into the design and architecture, we can speed up JVM development workflows by 3-6x over traditional JVM tools like Maven or Gradle, and make it subjectively much e…
Is mill ready to be used in production ?

#164I've been collecting and digitizing vintage print advertisements and publishing them ( https://adretro.com ). I have tens of thousands of ads in the collection and it would take me many lifetimes to complete, but I've been using AI to extract and catalog the meta data. I can get through about 100 ads/day this way. One of my favorite ads, a computer from 1968 that "answers riddles": https://adretro.com/ads/1968-digi-c…
Is there a way to contribute? I have some old National Geographics I bought for 10 cents each a number of years ago. The old ads are one of my favorite things in every magazine.

#165the process of creating APIs for testing and automation should be as easy possible. the tools that exist nowadays aren't good enough, they require you to use their programming language of choice or complex procedures for a task that should be simple. I built mock to try to solve that and still continue to maintain it.

#166A bit of a janky setup, but I've mostly gotten it to do what I want it to do after some head scratching.

#167The poetry one is react native. Art and philosophy ones are swift/kotlin. I wanted to see if you could use LLMs to effectively create a cross-platform app. The idea behind react native was that you write it once in an approachable language, then the framework compiles to native app code. In 2025, the approachable language you code in is English, and the LLM now generates native app code.
It was generally a success and I feel less of a need of the development overhead of react native these days.

#169Fully open source cinematography drone. Spoilers: I only started a few weeks ago and I've got a long way to go still. Currently prototyping the gimbal for more context and wasting a ton of PLA in the process.
