Started on a dependency-free (including manual object file creation, excluding manual linker) single-pass C compiler with a goal of it being self-hosting. Spawned after my previous project (single-pass Wasm JIT) started to plateau a bit and wanted to start something more "full-stack compiler"-y.

#282I'm working on an AI platform to help mid sized companies figure out how close they are/develop a roadmap to utilize AI for tangible business uses (ie assess how much work is involved for a regional bank to utilize AI for fraud detection).

#283Aiming to have a small-feature release of my Video Hub App this summer:
https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App & https://videohubapp.com/
If you have videos you want to browse, preview, search, tag, sort, etc on your computer, my software might be great for you :)

#284I've been working on my own version of a literate programming system (https://github.com/adam-ard/organic-markdown). It's kind of a mix of emacs org-mode, jupyter, and Zettelkasten. But, because it's based on standard pandoc-style markdown, you can use it with a much wider range of tools. Any markdown editor will do.
Even though I made it as a toy/proof of concept, it's turned out to be pretty useful for small to medium size projects. As I've used it, I've found all kinds of interesting benefits and helpful usage patterns. I've tried to document some; I hope to do more soon.

The project is at a very early stage, but is finally stable enough that I thought it'd be fun to throw out here and see what people think. It's definitely my own unique spin on literate programming and it's been a lot of fun. See what you think!

#285Still working on https://periplus.app, and recently started to see some traction.
It's an environment for open-ended learning with LLMs. Something like a personalized, generative Wikipedia. Has generated courses, documents, exams and flashcards.
Each document links to more documents, which are all stored in a graph you grow over time.

#286Tiny program that batch renumbers sections/clauses in documents.
It is like MS Word "Bullets and numbering" but it's a small UNIX filter, no GUI, much faster and smoother than MS Word or Google Docs.
Perhaps the beginning of a markup language for text or HTML files intended to be converted to MS Word.

#287It's kind of boring but I'm learning k8s and argo-cd to figure out if I can do feature-branch deployment to a cluster.
like, it would be very cool to do something like have your feature branch be deployed to a separate pod in dev cluster, and have an ingress rule set up so that it points to that pod only.
So if your dev environment usually points to .dev.example.com,
Deploy your feature branch to a dev cluster, but on a different pod. Then have it reachable to .feature-branch-1.dev.example.com without touching main.
I think it's a neat idea and I'm sure it should be possible if I configure some istio settings.
It's all new thing and it's fun to have a direction towards learning

The premise is that when I read social spaces like Reddit or X, if the government has done anything contentious you get nothing more than strident left takes, or strident right takes on the topic. Neither of which is informative or helpful.
So I have set up a site which uses AI which is specifically guided to be neutral and non-partisan, to analyses the government actions from the source documents. It then gives a summary, expected effect, benefits and disadvantages, and ranks the action against 19 "things people care about" (e.g. defence, environment, civil liberties, religious protection, etc.)
The end result is quite compelling. For example here's the page that summarises all the actions which are extremely beneficial or disadvantageous to individual liberties: https://sivic.life/tyca/tyca_individual_liberties/

#289I'm working on an MCP to give your coding agent the ability to generate on-demand Mermaid diagrams about anything in your codebase. Among other benefits, it is very helpful for spotting unnecessary code or architecture that can accumulate while vibe coding.

#290I'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…
This is interesting! Have you considered leveraging Google OR Tools[1] for route optimization? At a previous hyper-local eCommerce startup I worked for, we used it to solve similar problems. Although the setup and integration is not super easy, but the results far outweighed the effort.
