Hello! Not sure if this is you, but every year I either miss my kids’ summer camp deadline or scramble to grab whatever’s left . I figured there has to be a better way — so I’m building something that helps parents like us get reminders (and maybe even auto-book if this is possible) before camps fill up.

If you’ve been through this rodeo too, please provide your feedback — your feedback will help make next summer a lot less stressful for other parents

a 90's Art Style (think Street Fighter 2) - Surf Forecast App.

I wanted a surf forecast app that i can look at glance, which "time-slot" of the week is good enough to go surf.

And I wanted it to look like nothing else out there, at least surf forecast wise

Back in the day, my friends and I loved to rip a few games of Curve Fever 2. The original is gone and the game that took its place has objectionable aesthetic and gameplay tweaks.I've been working on making my dream "curve-like" game that captures the elegance of the original's gameplay while also allowing optional stuff like portals, rocket launchers, custom maps and modes like capture-the-flag. I'm kind of going for that sense of hilarity and semi-competitiveness of e.g. Halo 3 custom maps and modes.

My friends and I have been having a great time playing the initial version, and it's been fun working on some of the more interesting technical aspects like server + browser performance, mapping 2-d game space onto a 3-D visual space, etc. as well as some just-because-I-want to things like a dynamic music system.

I'm working on a calorie & macro tracker called FitBee [1]. Tracking my food has been tremendously helpful in terms of improving my health, but it's always been a PITA. The focus of FitBee is food quality & speed. Tracking your food is something you have to do multiple times a day, so I tried to make it as frictionless as possible. The app is built 100% with Swift & SwiftUI.

nocodo: Sheets Driven Development

I think in this era of coding agents, more people feel empowered to build their own workflow automation. But for vast majority of non-technical folks, Claude Code or even Replit are not easy to use solutions. So I am taking inspiration from spreadsheets and using that as the primary UX to build a coding agent.

Hello folks, I'm a former Figma employee and while working there I've been amazed how well visualization and whiteboards actions work for humans. I've been working on a new tool to organize my family that is centered on the idea of a whiteboard with tiles of different kinds. It's still a little rough but maybe some of you would enjoy it. It supports daily journals, calendars, text, files. You can use it to organize yourself or create beautiful galleries for your memories. I've tried to create something simple that even kids can understand and use. For example, you can click and hold a little star at a corner of the Journal tile to record an achievement and my kids love it. I'm not trying to sell anything, the tool is currently completely free and has versions for Web, MacOS and iOS. Please checkout https://umka.day/ and share your feedback, I really appreciate this.

I’m working on https://chess67.com, software for running over-the-board chess (clubs, coaches, tournaments).

I started this after volunteering at my kid’s tournaments and seeing how fragmented things are: • registrations in Google Forms • payments via Venmo/Zelle • pairings in SwissSys/WinTD • communication across email and text

Chess67 aims to unify that: • coaches can sell lessons and manage scheduling and payments • clubs can run events and communicate with players • tournaments can handle registrations, with pairing and USCF submission in progress

Still early. The main challenge is not building features but matching existing workflows, especially Swiss pairings, which are more nuanced than they look.

While I look for a new job working on clean energy hardware, I’m re-habbing a weatherproof 7kWh battery I built for a Burning Man project last year.

I’m adding:

- A control hub that reads data from the batteries and the solar controller

- Remote and on-device UIs that allow a user to control all the hardware from one place

- A LoRa transceiver that allows monitoring the battery and solar status from a distance

Exploring all of this is fun — there’s a lot of DIY solar and battery hardware out there that needs to be able to sync and coordinate, but there’s not a great software solution for this.

Hit me up if you want to hire me, or give me money to work on this :)
