Working on some new Bluesky tools and trying to learn more about the AT Protocol. Have been working on this following:

- Skyscraper, an iOS native app for Bluesky with focus on Liquid Glass UI. Launching hopefully in a ~week, and TestFlight available at https://testflight.apple.com/join/RRvk14ks

Then also working on a website/web tool that does the following: - A keyword/term notification service that observes the Bluesky Jetstream for usages of the term and sends email alerts.

- Provides an HTML/JSON backup archive of any Bluesky account. Quick way to archive popular accounts, politicians, public figures, etc.

- Trending Hashtag lists, to see what is trending the last hour, day, week, and month.

The web services all are available at: https://api.getskyscraper.com/tools/

My Friend and I are working on Fostrom: https://fostrom.io

It's an IoT Cloud Platform built for developers. We're still in technical preview and are currently working on adding more telemetry to our small device agent written in Rust.

Check out our docs at: https://fostrom.io/docs/

Still an AI time tracker that watches your screen. Currently experimenting with a proactive agent, Don, that pops up like clippy and also works over email. https://donethat.ai All the data security measures here: https://donethat.ai/data And other tools out there: https://donethat.ai/compare

Hmmmm. I am not sure I would feel comfortable running this.

Over the holidays I was building a wooden birdhouse with a Unifi Protect camera and a small web interface that automatically identifies the birds and shows me a simple overview over which type of bird visited how many times. Birdhouse: https://img.notmyhostna.me/cRQ1gJfZCHjQKwFrgKQj UI: - https://img.notmyhostna.me/Hnw4qcvbg1ZQCrFxzGMn - https://img.notmyhostna.me/62TFwSXSRRbCfxDz297h - https://img.notmyhostna.me/40q…

Didn't know this was a thing I needed. Love it!

I'm a filmmaker, and this is ArtCraft: https://github.com/storytold/artcraft AI tools are becoming incredibly useful for our industry, but "prompting" without visual control sucks. In the fullness of time, we're going to have WYSIWYG touch controls for every aspect of an image or scene. The ability to mold people and locations like clay, rotate and morph them in 3D, and create literally anything we can imagine. Here…

cool stuff!
