#22I'm trying to get my agentic software specification tool Arbiter to release (UI polish/debugging is so slow :/, browser shenanigans are harder than Rust fr). It's basically a tool that AI agents can use to construct a project specification. The twist to Arbiter is that the specs are structured and validated, and you can compile them to get:
Services with stubbed endpoints, UIs with placeholder components, Dockerfiles/Terraform/K8s infra, E2E tests (via declared flows), Github/Gitlab epics/issues/subissues
It's also got github/gitlab webhook integration, so you can do stuff like trigger agents reactively when events occur on a repo, it includes cloudflare tunnel support so you can set up webhooks even in a local dev environment, and the project generator is fully customizable.

#24A command-line tool called berk that is a versatile job dispatcher written in c. It is meant to replace big clunky tools like Jenkins, Ansible etc. It has syntax similar to git. It works pretty well, just need to iron out some kinks before final release. https://github.com/jezze/berk

#25Working on a chess / poker hybrid.
There was "choker" back in the day, which I actually never heard about since I wasn't into chess back then. But (1) there was no web version, and (2) it had a specific gameplay that seems too slow for my taste. My version is highly customizable on the setup/rounds/rules, too. From my research, the original was also overrun by bots.

#27Currently a one-man side project: https://laboratory.love Last year PlasticList discovered that 86% of food products they tested contain plastic chemicals—including 100% of baby food tested. The EU just lowered their "safe" BPA limit by 20,000x. Meanwhile, the FDA allows levels 100x higher than what Europe considers safe. This seemed like a solvable problem. Laboratory.love lets you crowdfund independent testing of s…
Looking at the tofu reports, I really don't know what to make of them. Is there a way to give more meaning to them for the average person? Also, I'd love to see a sort by "almost funded" option.

#28Trying to build a secure, configurable and easy to use authentication system (relative to my understanding)
I have experienced knowledge gaps and blind spots that I am attempting to fix. For example most users worry about security of hashed passwords and yet they do not realize that the TOTP (eg Google Authenticator) use symmetric encryption and quite a lot of the authentication providers store the private key in plain text in their database. List goes on...

#29Writing a specification for a personal library app in the hopes I can get AppSheet + Gemini to make one for me. I'm working on library science in general, so it will hopefully implement ideas I have about book classification and entity catalogs.

#30We're building a monster trainer where you can actually teach your monster moves. Think like Pokémon the anime, but for real: https://youtu.be/ThOCM9TK_yo?feature=shared
Behind the scenes, we're doing real time code gen to power the monsters!
Would love feedback!
