Climbing gym photogrammetry. My idea is that route and climb recordings is best recorded against a 3D climbing gym model, rather than a plan video, and technology has gotten good enough to do with a regular phone.

As a climber myself, to climb effectively, one has to review their own climb, and with other people. 4D video, body positions across time, is very helpful in improving climbing. I managed to get a reasonable result (far from good) from one video, rather requiring multiple camera angles.

Haven't gotten to monetization yet, but I am enjoying every moment of making it.

I’m exploring how to use AI for faith oriented experiences and products. There are two specific areas I’m interested in. I’m furthest along with this app in the App Store. https://trysojourn.app

1) grounding LLM scripture references in the actual text and eliminating hallucinations. This is the platform for that. https://withlattice.com

2) how to use AI to get people into scripture more as opposed to being a substitute for it. This is the product I made for it - it uses #1 above. https://trysojourn.app

I created a make-your-own-circuit simulator in python to help learn electronics. The best part about this is that it is entirely hosted online and people can just go through the lessons, learn electronics by skipping the maths, and in the process have made their own circuit simulator (which is arguably a pretty cool project on its own) at the end of it.

Building an AI agent that creates promotional content for social media, in a way that deeply resonates with your target audience. I tried using Claude and ChatGPT first, and they could give me a few good posts, but not a reliable stream of them. After 10–15 outputs, the angles converged, the language repeated, and everything became too salesy. I was still providing business context, finding angles, tracking previous posts.

It was clear to me that a marketing harness was needed around the LLMs for this purpose, and so Feral was born.
