Lets you create encrypted containers disguised as normal files. 1000s of images, pdfs, videos, secrets, keys all stuffed into an innocent look "Vacation_Summer_2024.mp4".

I've almost got true steganography working i.e to get the carrier file to actually open in any file system(currently with mp4, pdf, png and jpeg).

Things like this have existed in the past, but nothing with a simple UI,recent encryption standards.

https://selectube.app/ Working on curated YouTube for kids. Trying to make a place where my kids can watch the good stuff without getting sucked into all the mindless junk.

Also it’s been a fun excuse to try out Cursor and other AI tools I don’t normally use in my day job.

I have 1 user - my 8 yr old son.

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-…

Great to get experience in CNC! I've been working on how to market my GatorCAM for CNC. So I'll give you a copy! 2 birds!

It is easy to select multiple holes/pockets at once so if you iterate, you don't spend time redoing CAM! It does traveling salesman to solve for efficient paths which even the expensive packages don't get right. Calculates v-bit paths too.

Locally running wispr flow equivalent without any tracking, signup, analytics or subscriptions.

Dictate into any text window on your Mac. Works really well with technical language specifically when using with claude code, cursor, windsurf.

Very fast since the underlying whisper.cpp lib is very well optimized for Metal and CoreML usage on Apple Silicon machines.
