I'm building my personal finance App Percento for iOS. More than 10 years after I switched my career from accountant to Dev, and it has been more than 5 years that I worked on this project, how time flies.

While taking care of my newborn, I had a lot of time to think about what annoys me most about being a software engineer. For me that is interfacing with databases. So, I embarked a couple of weeks ago on my journey to build a relational database, which checks the boxes for me personally and I hope that this will be useful for other developers as well. Project priorities (very early stage): - run code where the data i…

Working on https://vide.dev, the Cursor for Flutter devs.

While Cursor stops after writing great code, Vide goes the extra mile and has full runtime integration. Vide will go the extra mile & make sure the UI looks on point, works on all screen configurations and behaves correctly. It does this by being deeply integrated into Flutters tooling, it's able to take screenshot/ place widgets on a Figma-like canvas and even interact with everything in an isolated and reproducible environment.

I currently have a web version of the IDE live but I'm going to launch a full native desktop IDE very soon.

I've been working on a fully electric last-mile delivery company: https://hudsonshipping.co

Beyond the landing page (built with Astro), I've been building all of the route optimization, the delivery and warehouse management systems. A combination of go and java has allowed me to write a few microservices in the past 6 months to handle all of my logistical processes, and I'm just testing the mobile app in the field as we speak! I hope to make some of the code open-source one day!

I went Yak shaving. For my 3D audio project I need an affordable way to make plastic cases. I felt like injection molding services are way overpriced, so I decided to make the molds in-house. Turns out, CNC milling is overpriced, too. As are 5 axis CNC mills. So in the end, we built our own CNC machine. And like these things always go, I found an EMI issue with my power supply and a USB compliance bug in the off-the-…

Working on the echi network.

A residential proxy network that leverages blockchain by turning everyday users home connections who have no contracts against such practices, into rentable exit nodes, each contributing bandwidth in exchange for rewards. A dedicated blockchain ledger tracks the exact amount of data each node relays and automatically releases micropayments in the network’s native cryptocurrency, ensuring transparent, real-time compensation without a middleman.

But with my adhd, I'll likely end up working on another project sooner than later. Interested in MCP aggregation.

I've been working on Splice CAD – an in-browser cable-harness designer. https://splice-cad.com Building cables for multiple personal and professional projects, I was frustrated by having to cobble together harness diagrams in Illustrator or Visio, cut snippets from from PDFs for connector outlines, map pin-outs, wire specs, cable constructions, mating terminals, and manually updating an Excel BOM. Splice gives you: A…

omg, I wish there was a service like jlpcb / pcbway but for cable harnesses.. do you know of any? I'd love to take something like your tool and choose length and quantity and order it....

A homegrown Plex. After a lot of grief trying to make Plex and jellyfish to work with my collection, and then some more with the community [1] I decided to make my own. There's no selling point and clear pathway to monetize, as other solutions are way more mature and feature complete, but this is my own and serves my needs the best. I've been working on it on and off for last 8 years or so, and it's been my personal…

I'm trying to go the other way with my (simple) web apps- writing them so I don't have to rewrite them later. The whole UI is basically a form and a table, so I figured I should try.

For me that means Go + stdlib HTML templates (I want to try Gomponents at some point) to minimize dependencies. I copied the HTMX JS minified file into my source tree for some interactivity. I handwrote the CSS.

It looks very "barebones" (some would say ugly), but it's been solid as a rock. It's been a year and I haven't needed to update a thing!
