Everyone is working on such amazing things.

Truly very impressive.

Throwing in mine. I've been working on solo deving godot games in the last year.

Working on yet another gambling roguelike.

I have an artist contacted to do my real assets now.

If anyone is practiced in game balance please reach out if you want to help!

Been reversing Sound Blaster Command so that I could control my external DAC/AMP without Windows. So far I can change the LED color and EQ presets, which was the main reason I wanted to do it in the first place. I am currently in the process of writing a GUI for it so that others can use it too (I only tested it with 1 soundcard, G6, though) for their older soundblaster cards that are not supported by Creative's multiplatform solutions. Will use Clay for it. Initially wanted to use Qt but I wrote the implementation in C and now I am too lazy to adapt it to cpp.

I've been vanlifing for a few months now. I tend to have long hours on the road where my mind wonders and I want to write code hands-free. So, I built it. Using ChatGPT's voice agents to generate Github issues tagging @claude to trigger Claude Code's Github Action, I created https://voicescri.pt that allows me to have discussions with the voice agent, having it create issues, pull requests, and logical diffs of the c…

Your van is probably better than mine, but when I was vanlifing with my wife, I really regretted spending so many long hours on the road. If I did it over again, I'd try to limit driving to a max of two hours per day and five hours per week. We spent far too much money on repairs and not nearly enough time writing code or exploring the places I drove through. Or past.

Are you reviewing code by voice, like a blind programmer? Have you tried Emacspeak? I know that's not normally hands-free.

I've been working on my own programming language, Haven - https://github.com/miselin/haven

Lately, I've been hacking on improving its linear algebra support (as that's one of the key focuses I want - native matrix/vector types and easy math with them), which has also helped flush out a bunch of codegen bugs. When that gets tedious, I've also been working on general syntax ergonomics and fixing correctness bugs, with a view to self-hosting in the future.

I’m building SPARK (Signal Processing Algorithms, Routines, and Kernels), an open-source library of modular, efficient DSP components for low-power embedded audio systems. The goal is to make it straightforward to design and deploy small, composable audio graphs that fit on MCUs and similar hardware. The project is in its infancy, so there’s plenty of room for experimentation and contributions. https://github.com/Col…

Nice! Unrelated to the other open-source SPARK for designing and deploying small, composable data processing graphs with a Python API, I guess?

Are you thinking about supporting deployment on FPGAs like the iCE40 line?

I'm working on a series of "fun experiments" that use LLMs under the hood. Some are small tech jokes, while others were born from curiosity to see how LLMs would behave in specific scenarios and interactions. I also tried to use this collection of experiments as a way to land a new job, but I'm starting to realize it might not be serious enough :) Happy to hear what you think! https://llmparty.pixeletes.com

This is the best thing that I've seen all day.

I'm working on a open-source tool to create photo galleries from a folder of photos: https://simple.photo . It creates galleries as static sites that are easy to self-host. I started this out of frustration that there is no good tool I could use to share photos from my travel and of my kids with friends and family. I wanted to have a beautiful web gallery that works on all devices, where I can add rich descriptions a…

Like the layout tiles you have for the photo thumbnails. Will dig through and learn some css. Have struggled with different size content to create a compact masonry layout.

Maybe something here might help with masonry stuff: https://css-tricks.com/piecing-together-approaches-for-a-css...

I stumbled across it looking for CSS flex masonry examples.
