Bot Typist - a VS Code extension that lets you chat with an AI bot (such as GPT4), but in a Jupyter notebook that you've opened in VS Code.

I wrote it because I was frustrated with OpenAI's Code Interpreter and I thought working in a real notebook would be better. And it is!

What's half-baked? Using the GPT4 API gets expensive if the conversation gets long enough, and it should warn you. Also, the install isn't as easy as it could be, since you have to install the 'llm' command-line tool first, and set your API key.

It supports two languages, Python and TypeScript (via Deno), but Deno's notebook support is itself pretty half-backed.

QR-powered home organization app! My family and friends use it constantly, but I never polished or promoted it further than that video :) If you're organizing your garage/shed/projects bench and want to give it a try, I'm happy to mail you a big stack of stickers!

https://whenwillirunoutofmoney.com/ I thought it’d be cool to have a small textual language where you could describe “this payment goes out every quarter” and “this one goes out monthly from date X to Y” and so on. As a freelancer it can be difficult to know how much cash you have available given taxes go out at weird times, and it’s useful to simulate “let’s delete this row where the customer pays” to stress test yo…

In Chrome the page just never arrives. No client-rendered loading spinner, just a tab that seems to want to crash. In Safari, after a decent wait, the page arrives and then there's a loading spinner. After 30 seconds of that, nothing seemed to happen.

I quit my job more than a year ago and wanted to participate in this crazy (but fun) rush to find creative applications of AI. Tried many things, first attempts failed miserably, but it's a fun journey and I'm getting useful experience.

Right now, I'm building an app that allows you to apply AI to create interesting visual effects for images and videos.

Currently, there are two main features:

- You can swap faces in videos to create personalized memes.

- Generate artistic self-portraits.

You probably have seen such features many times already and maybe even tired of it, but for me it was just a starting point. I plan to continue adding new features as new interesting models and technologies become available. Right now there is only a web version and I'm working on rolling out ios and android versions (Almost there!).

Stack: AWS, docker, runpod.io, python, react native.

Happy to collaborate with other makers on this and other ideas!

My personal solo project is a mobile roguelike card game, blending elements from Marvel Champions and Slay the Spire, all set within a cyberpunk theme.

It's built using Flutter and primarily relies on standard UI widgets.

Currently, it is available for free without any ads, and I'm working on adding more content that will be unlocked through in-app purchases.

All the art is generated using Midjourney. If it weren't for AI-generated art, I wouldn't have even started the project.

This is meant to be a more user friendly/aesthetic disk usage scanner. It's largely finished but I need to do a bunch of debugging for platform-specific issues etc.

It's not the fun stuff so I've been putting it off forever :/ Also kind of on a break from programming at the moment so not sure when I'll return to this.
