I've been building a website to find great blog posts related to the programming/tech world called https://greatreads.dev/

There are a lot of things that I still want to polish, but it's in a usable state already, and I'm very happy with it.

If someone takes a look and has any suggestions, feedback, or ideas, they are all welcome.

Also, any suggestions for blogs that could be added as sources is appreciated.

I launched two apps for visionOS 26 this month:

Metaballs: Spatial, which is a really fun interactive sculpting app. Brand new app. Fast-follow update this week adds USDZ and STL export! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/metaballs/id6748781900

Vibescape: an immersive meditation app. This one is currently featured at the top of the App Store, yay! Launched as a day one app on Vision Pro, new update has what I think is the best immersive environment I've made yet that comes alive with music: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vibescape/id6476827678

I'm also working on the next episode of Ice Moon — a YouTube series I'm doing on how to build immersive environments for Apple Vision Pro: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHA_sJmXyiktWkqLnHEUj1k5h...

Building AI workbench and tools for Home Service Business verticals. I found there is a lot of waste in targeting and workflows for business, focussing on improving them with advanced YOLO and LLM models.

Trying to re-legalize "neighborhood commercial" by right in the city I live in. Things like corner stores or small barber shops or coffee shops or converted restaurants. ACUs or Accessory Commercial Units, home conversions... different ways of doing it.

Obsetico App (named after a friends' comment that "it's great for Obsessed people like my wife"

A mobile app to track tasks, events and any info about anything you care about: your car, home, tools, workshop, appliances, pets, lab equipment... anything really.

Lets you organize "resources" in a hierarchy (like "folders"). You can then define tasks, add pictures, geolocation, contacts, notes, events, etc to them. Recently added the feature to "share" resources with others.

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.code54.qui... App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/obsetico/id6749025870

It's so generic that it's hard to describe :-) I need a better elevator pitch.

I'm making a visual explainer site for PyTorch functions:

https://whytorch.org/

A great example of how it works is http://whytorch.org/torch.amax/

Clicking items in the tensors explains where they came from and where they are used in the output. The input tensors can be modified too.

It's a one-man side project that's been half building the site framework, and half re-implementing pytorch functions in javascript. Plenty more functions to go, but hopefully people can already find it useful. I'm planning on doing a Show HN once I've added ~10 more functions.

Posting this from a throwaway account because my main account is locked due to `noprocrast`!

I've been wondering for years if historical magazines/periodicals could ever be transformed into a modern ebook format. PDF doesn't cut it, but most other efforts are unsatisfactory... part of what makes a magazine a magazine is the rich, mixed content. So, for the past few weeks (months?) I've been taking a stab at it with the science fiction pulps. Started with Analog/Astounding, and I was able to re-typeset the cover (with original art), most of the interior, many of the ads, and so on.

I still need to put together a build system to actually zip this up into an epub file...
