I'm working on a collaborative post-apocalyptic fitness RPG. I wanted to build a game that lets you take over the real world, gets you off the couch, and has only positive multiplayer engagement. If you find or invite another player nearby, all your actions with them benefit you both.

It's for iPhone, and for the best experience, Apple Watch. It's very early, playable via TestFlight, and I would love feedback! There's a TestFlight link at: https://reverdure.yourstrategy.co

Sharable, real-time synced maps, Google Docs for maps basically.

I think the coolest part is the import feature where you can paste a link to a video or article and it pulls out places and enriches them with images and a description. You can also write your own notes, vote on places to go with friends, and apply colors. Right now I am working on user acquisition and experimenting with different marketing approaches.

I‘m working on an online radio player for community radios. https://radiodock.app

Search is currently provided by the Radio Browser API, but I'm now building my own station API with proper metadata and thumbnail coverage. A station discovery page with most played stations is also in the making.

Part of my job is to approve / reject MCP servers based on how secure they are and whether they are suitable for use in an enterprise environment. I was tired of my team being called the bottleneck to AI adoption, so I set out to automate the whole process.

I periodically collect the MCP servers and every new version from the Official MCP registry and assign them a score based on 29 distinct criteria like runtime guardrails (e.g. destructive tools, over broad permissions, rug pulls), SAST scans and transport & trust model.

As a result of this exercise, I found that 1 in every 10 MCP servers is pretty much unusable (score 40/100 or below). 18% of the popular MCP servers with 1000+ GitHub stars contain one or more security issues. 184 servers to date have changed their tool definitions after publication, which may indicate a "rug pull" attack.

I built this for security minded people who also want to be at the forefront of AI adoption and for security teams who are tired to be called the bottleneck.

Browsing the index is completely free, you only have to request an API key if you want automated, programmatic lookups for any workflow.

Feedback is always welcome!

I started burning down the backlog of all the stuff I wanted to get to for side projects but never had time for (before LLMs):

- https://smacke.net/ffsubsync -- automagically synchronize subtitles, now purely client-side in your browser thanks to pyodide

- https://ipyflow.github.io/ipyflow/lab/index.html?path=demo.i... -- reactive python jupyter notebooks, again in the browser thanks to pyodide / jupyterlite

- https://smacke.net/pipescript/lab/index.html?path=demo.ipynb -- magritter-like pipe / placeholder syntax for ipython / jupyter, again able to run purely in the browser

- https://smacke.net/pycograd/lab/index.html?path=pycograd_sim... -- pyccolo and pipescript-powered autograd, once again able to run purely in the browser since numpy has a wasm target (notice a theme here :) )

I'm working on the finishing touches for a big new "Event Filters" feature for my Shopify app, Stages (https://getstages.com). The feature will let users set up rules to decide which orders should be imported into the app based on certain criteria like Shopify product names, collection names, order value, and so on. Users have been asking for it forever, and I'm planning on publishing it this week!

I'm also working on an update to ShopifySharp, the .NET package I maintain for Shopify's graphql and rest APIs. I need to regenerate the graphql types and the fluent query builders for the July 2026 API version that was just released, and I'm planning on some extra QoL improvements that I've run into while using the package over the last couple of months. I particularly want to add some F# QoL features, since I wrote the package in C# but use F# in all my personal projects. (https://github.com/nozzlegear/shopifysharp)
