I recently launched a daily word puzzle! https://tiledwords.com It’s inspired by tile placement board games like Patchwork and crosswords. You rotate and move tiles to rebuild a broken crossword. It’s free, web based, and responsive. I currently have several hundred daily players and growing. My wife and I create the puzzles and I’m continuing to fix bugs and add new features.

This puzzle is genius.The interface is minimal and user-friendly, everything feels smooth and intuitive.

I'm trying to learn 3D scanning and printing: I have a few small projects that I want to do to develop the skill:

I want to 3D print a shell that goes over my car fob: I keep leaning on it and setting off the alarm. The shell would make sure the buttons never get pushed.

I want to 3D print a sleeve that keeps the NCAS dongle in my car charger. I really wish there was a dongle that stayed attached with screws or similar.

Building https://github.com/openrundev/openrun, a platform for declarative deployment of web apps.

OpenRun runs as a web server, which does GitOps driven app deployments. You can currently deploy apps on a standalone machine, on top of Docker/Podman. Working on adding support for deploying on top of Kubernetes. On Kubernetes, OpenRun will replace your build jobs (Jenkins/Actions etc), CD (ArgoCD etc) and IDP (Backstage etc). The same declarative config which works on a standalone machine will work on Kubernetes, with no YAML to maintain.

I’ve been working on https://canine.sh which is a free, open source Heroku alternative for 2 years now. It’s exactly the product I wish I had when I started my previous company. Running on PaaS is incredible for devex but the pricing is bonkers, and the vendor lock in makes it really hard to deal with annual price increases. We spent close to 400k / year for just 128GB combined fleet in our last startup on Heroku. Ca…
