Photography is a hobby of mine. After putting it off for years, I finally decided to start sharing my photo collection with friends and family.

This resulted in another side project, https://mishmash.photos/ -- a website to organize, share and collaborate on albums (because I always lose photos when going on trips with friends). There are better apps out there for this, but this one is mine.

Sample album: https://mishmash.photos/share/84f83b09-0a24-4d13-b436-8131ee...

Tech stack is django, htmx, bootstrap and a Stripe integration, to keep things simple.

(There's no free tier; from reading this website I know offering free image upload usually ends badly.)

A stenography app that lets you type regularly on a QWERTY keyboard but also lets you do stenography when you hold down and release multiple keys at once. It's intended to make it easier to use a computer and write code while using steno when typing English words than Plover does.

I'm going to be a dad next year, so I've been thinking about how to baby-proof areas of my house while allowing my cat freedom of navigation. My wife is an English teacher, so I've been building little educational games for her to try in the classroom. My latest attempt is a proof-reading game https://frogs.cool Currently I'm using wikipedia articles but I'm working on adding a variety of age appropriate texts in dif…

Should be any of:

- They had long tongues that they used to catch bugs.

- They have long tongues that they use to catch bugs.

- They had long tongues, which they used to catch bugs.

- They have long tongues, which they use to catch bugs.

I building a web app around a tool I originally built for myself for interview prep. It basically lets you generate interview questions then practice them in a leetcode-like interface that includes an AI tutor chat ui. The tutor is aware of the question and the user's attempt at a solution so far and is instructed to give hints rather than simply providing the user with the answer. I personally use it as well. https://hinterviewgpt.com

Own streaming service for an internet radio, but that's not opensourced atm. It's Go and it seems to be amazing fit.

That makes my other project a bit lacking attention, but I will get back to it - a configuration language BCL https://github.com/wkhere/bcl . Parser is based on a vm beauty from the 2nd part of Robert Nystrom's Crafting Interpreters book.

Working on https://aliveai.app/ . It is a simple wrapper frontend around a complex ComfyUI workflow. There is a lot of different things you can generate with StableDiffusion but I wanted to make it as easy as possible to create photo-realistic images of people. The App is mostly being used for generating NSFW images though (which is ok).

If you imagine some people recommending this to their colleagues for work purposes, you might consider adding a 'hide NSFW' toggle, and having it turned on by default.

I'm doing https://bialet.dev a web framework for simple web apps with idea to get back to have a fully static HTML first, and then you code the dynamic part.

It's based on the Object-Oriented scripting language Wren, it's fully integrated with SQLite, and it has a sort of JSX for the HTML (it's actually strings and interpolations, being part of the language).
