I'm working on Fro (https://fro.app)

Haven't released properly yet - not sure if it's stable but oh well.

I don't like using my personal email to sign up for things. But there are definitely things that I do want to sign up for - newsletters, try out some services.

I know there are temporary email services, but I actually want to use these services. Of course there is Apple email that forwards to your real email.

But, I also don't want to flood my inbox.

Anyway, I wanted to receive these transactional emails in my personal Slack.

So, that's what Fro is for (https://fro.app)

- Sign up - get an email address - link to your Slack channel

And you can now catch up on those newsletters via Slack.

I'm working on https://tickerfeed.net - a new kind of forum for stock market discussion.

After HashiCorp was acquired by IBM I decided to take time off from corporate life and build something for myself. For years I've also been a casual retail investor on the side.

Forums like /r/stocks and /r/wsb in the past have been useful resources for finding leads and interesting information. But meme-ification (among other factors) have substantially degraded sites like Reddit, to the point where interesting comments are much fewer and far in between. With TickerFeed I'm hoping to recapture what was lost - a platform where investors can discuss companies and all things stock market through meaningful long form content.

It's also a chance to build something with my dream stack - Go + HTMX + SQLite, and that's been fun :)

We host a static site service where users can manage their sites via ssh (https://pgs.sh). Previously we used minio for object storage but have become frustrated by its perf issues on smaller VMs, don't need the distributed features, and wanted something a little lighter weight. We initially thought Garage could check most of our boxes but very quickly discovered perf issues there as well.

So we decided to build out our own filesystem adapter and recently deployed it. It's pretty exciting to have our own solution that does exactly what we need and appears significantly faster.

It makes us want to open source pgs.sh because it has fewer dependencies in order to deploy.
