I'm trying out vibe coding a bit on my olive oil index site — building a full website with 11ty, tailwind and LLMs. The LLMs also serve as a data pipeline to watch and update content as new information is published online: https://www.extravirginvault.com/

I've always enjoyed the farm-to-table concept, but I find it really hard to identify trustworthy companies. Wine has been done to death, but I feel extra virgin olive oil is currently underserved.

Using LLM as a judge architecture to optimize multi-agent system prompts and configurations. For now it's achieved through LLM based consensus system that evaluates another LLM output, and based on its performance for a specific task, it's tune the architecture and the prompt e.g. refine the prompt, change the base model to a smaller or cheaper model, etc

I’m building software to augment human cognition.

In particular:

To help solve forecasting & planning problems too hard to hold in your head, I’m converting natural-language formulations of constrained optimization problems into (back)solvable mathematical programs, whose candidate solutions are “scenarios” in a multi-dimensional “scenario landscape” that can be pivoted, filtered, or otherwise interrogated by an LLM equipped with analytical tools:

https://easel.games A game engine that lets you code multiplayer games without coding the multiplayer! My idea was to put multiplayer into the fabric of the programming language itself. This allows the engine to automatically turn your game into a multiplayer game, without you needing to learn anything about networking or synchronization. I imagine there are lots of people who have the talent and creativity to create…

Very cool! I'll play more around with this later but right off the site UX is great. Being able to hit 'launch editor' and have it load a project right up without requiring an account or anything is just beautiful.

I’m building a system for free universal ai access for the important things in life - education, health, government etc

Stuff that should be open source, open data

Made state of the art datasets, health models, research systems & agents so far @ www.ii.inc but the plan is ai first open source full stack systems for every regulated sector

Have a distributed ledger announcing soon to tie it all together and create a flywheel so more folk can get access to ai

https://dateit.com

A social event planning app to capture the fun my friends and I had with facebook events, but without the facebook. We have native apps for iOS, Android and the web. dateit has a generous free features compared to competing apps (SMS invites, photo upload, customization).

My cofounder and I have fully bootstrapped this and now it mostly self sustains which is an exciting achievement!

It's been a fun project to hack on for the last couple years and spawned several interesting side quests. For example, the backend is in Swift (as I started as an iOS dev) so that has been an exciting space to work in.
