I’ve been working on an online LPC speech encoder as part of my embedded sound tools: https://buzzer-studio.atomic14.com/

It’s starting to sound pretty good. I’ve had quite a lot of help from the community with lots of useful feedback and suggestions. It’s been fun.

Working on https://greatreads.dev/

A place to find great blog articles by regular folks related to dev/tech world.

Wondering about the best way I can add a weekly newsletter built on top of the content currently being ingested and still looking for more sources to add to the database (let me know if you have any good recommendations).

I kinda gave up on building apps for Rocknix (since there is no easy way to distribute software) and instead have been looking at my apple watch. I ported over some software for workouts that is streamlined. I'm working on a way with MDNS to sync data to my Linux PC automatically when I'm at home.

If it works out, maybe this could be a way for me to replace the compromised Apple Music app with something that actually syncs to my music on my desktop.

A tool for creating custom Tailwind-style color palettes for web and UI design that pass WCAG contrast requirements: https://www.inclusivecolors.com/ The interface is optimized to let you quickly explore and tweak multiple tints/shades at once so you can customize all colors exactly how you want e.g. try dragging vertically through the saturation curve in one motion to edit all the tints/shades at once, or shift whol…

I passed this on to some accessibility folks at a couple conferences in the last month - everyone was impressed :)

I've been writing https://urbanismnow.com weekly for a year. The idea is to bring you the best ideas from around the world to inspire action where you (c)are.

It's been going well for a side project and now I'm thinking of expanding to have a directory of urbanists on a map so you can easily find people involved in the local discourse and how to get involved.

Experimenting with various AI models via GitHub Co-Pilot on an extremely niche project to see how far these models have progressed. Used like ~60% of the premium quota to develop the following projects:

website: https://murajah.pages.dev/

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.murajah.we...

Manual audio splitting tool for the above project: audio-splitter-6b3.pages.dev/

I've always been skeptical of AI-generated code. This is my first experiment with AI agents, where the full code base, implementation, debugging, and deployment are done using AI Agents MCPs.

Used VS Code all the way, i.e., all the source codes, including the code to generate the Google Play Store APK. I only reviewed the source code before committing and helped debug by suggesting ideas/algorithms.

Mostly used Claude Haiku 4.5 like 75% of the time, where it failed, switched to the sonnet 4.5 or GPT 5 codex. Interestingly, when debugging, sometimes one model struggled even after numerous iterations/feedback loops, but then the problem was solved instantly as soon as I switched to another model.

The source codes are available here:

https://github.com/wasi0013/audio-splitter

Initially, I thought the audio splitting could be done automatically using some AI models from Hugging Face or Whisper. But the audio files have some complex repetitions; the output was miserable.

So, for now, this splitting is done manually using a Web UI (The audio splitting tool splits the large audio files into multiple small audio files, think of it like a long paragraph is split into multiple sentences.)

I will attempt again to automate this splitting task using AI, after drafting a game plan for tackling the challenges. I'm thinking of using energy drops and other similar factors to create segments.
