Unifi Video was replaced by Unifi Protect some time in 2020. I wasn't sure how to self-host Protect, so I never migrated to it. I've recently reached a situation where some phones can no longer install the Unifi Video app. These phones are now relegated to using the rough-on-mobile UI. The Unifi Video web UI has also never worked well in Firefox for me. In the past few months, I've finally started working on a basic…

Replaced my Synology surveillance station since 2023, and has been running great. I also have a Google Coral for the image processing, but this is optional.

Free Resume Builder

When I was looking for a job last summer, I got frustrated with the current resume builders on the market and decided to build one exactly how I wanted to use it.

- No signup, no login, and no payment.

- Suggest a professional summary (with highlighting) to match a job description [0].

- Preview as you go.

- ATS friendly templates.

- Find relevant jobs for my resume.

[0] Recruiters skim through resumes, and highlighting the keywords they look for has always helped me to get their attention, so I decided to implement this feature using AI.

Just released a “Loudness Contour” audio plugin. Let’s you apply various equal-loudness contours like Fletcher-Munson, ISO-226, LUFS style K-weighting, etc.

Fits into my “loudness series” suite of tools.

Have 3 more in development and then it’ll be on to the next series.

Vibe coding a few apps I always felt humanity deserves (a bit exaggerated but kind of not :) )

- https://padsnap.app/ : PadSnap is a simple web app that adds customizable padding to your images so they fit Instagram’s/custom dimensions — no cropping, no quality loss. All on browser, no server uploads. Also no ads or login.

- https://shiryakhat.net/ : redid my podcasts website last week: Shir Ya Khat podcast, which translates to "Head or Tails" in Farsi, began its non-profit journey in 2016 with a mission to make blockchain and cryptocurrency technical knowledge accessible to Farsi speakers worldwide.

- life timetime visualizer, still WIP, feedback welcome: https://shayanb.github.io/timeline/

A few things:

Reflect - an app to track anything and analyze your data, including a feature to run self-guided experiments [0]

Later - an app to schedule non-urgent tasks and ideas, with an SRS-like scheduler to punt items [1]

I’ve been experimenting with data formats like Parquet and Iceberg, and recently came across Lance. I wanted to try building something around it.

So I put together a simple Digital Asset Manager (DAM) where:

* Images are uploaded and vectorized using CLIP

* Vectors are stored in Lance format directly on Cloudflare R2

* Search is done via Lance, comparing natural language queries to image vectors

* The whole thing runs on Fly.io across three small FastAPI apps (upload, search, frontend)

No Postgres or Mongo. No AI, Just object storage and files.

You can try it here:

* https://metabare.com/

Or see the code here:

* https://github.com/gordonmurray/metabare.com

Would love feedback or ideas on where to take it next — I’m planning to add image tracking and store that usage data in Parquet or Iceberg on R2 as well.
