Working on a silly side project called SinkedIn — a parody of LinkedIn but just for posting failures, screwups, and embarrassing moments. Staging is live here: https://sinkedin-staging.vercel.app/ and GitHub repo is:
https://github.com/Preet-Sojitra/sinkedin. Pushing to production soon. UI is rough, I’m not a frontend person — bear with me! All sorts of contributions are welcome.

#392I'm building a PyQt6 desktop app to create XML sitemaps for website maintainers such as myself. I got annoyed with the free online tools that are available, and also want to play with building desktop apps with Qt, and improve my Python programming skills. This seemed like a fun hobby project that has some value for me at work too, so I am not just building it to forget about it later.

#393Exploring n8n these days for automation/AI Agents. I am a software developer, but I enjoy this no-code/semi-code tool, already found a few use cases via Upwork and SEMRush that I am going to implement.
Besides, I have initiated two series on my blog: T4P and GenAI on my blog and writing about Algo trading and GenAI stuff(https://blog.adnansiddiqi.me/)
PS: If anyone has any interesting ideas, then do ping me

#394I am a PhD student and for a while now I'm designing and developing a distributed network protocol that enables dynamic resource allocation across heterogeneous nodes, to which I called Rank. It's designed to handle computational, network, and temporal resources in fully distributed environments without central controllers, but that could also handle a centralized environment. Rank implements four core functions: dis…
That sounds really interesting and I would also like a social media link or somewhere we can be kept abreast of updates.

#395Excel formula to postgres SQL compiler. Reminiscent of Salesforce formulas.
Demo uses postgres compiled for WASM so demo runs on an actual postgres db.

#396Repo: https://github.com/ilmoraunio/conjtest
Conjtest is a policy-as-code CLI tool which allows you to run tests against common configuration file formats using Clojure. You can write policies using Clojure functions or declarative schemas against many common configuration file formats such as YAML, JSON, HCL, and many others (full list in repo).
Under the hood, it uses Babashka and SCI (Small Clojure Interpreter) to run the policies and Conftest/Go parsers for compatibility with Conftest (https://www.conftest.dev/). It’s also possible to bring your own parser or reporting engine using Babashka scripting.
The initial big pieces are in place now, I’m preparing my end of the year to talk about Conjtest and get some feedback/issues to work on.

#397A mesh network library similar to Meshtastic. It just does simple flooding, because it's meant for low packet rates over reasonably fast transports, but it has a few cool features, some of which might or might not be working at the moment.
The MQTT routing backend is fully automatic. If two nodes are connected to the same MQTT server, or within range of gateways that are, they communicate.
The web client communicates directly with MQTT, meaning you can chat and set registers on devices without having hardware.

#398My Carnatic Raga classifier is progressing very well. I am now training a classifier to identify 142 ragas.
A bit of background: I have been working on a Raga classifier since November of last year - I started with just 2 ragas and a couple megabytes of audio. After experimenting with a lot of different ideas and Neural Net Architectures, I finally landed on one that could scale. I increases to 4 ragas, then 12, then 25 and then to 65.
All the training is done locally on my desktop (RTX4080, AMD 7950X, 64G RAM). My goal is to make an app for fast inferencing (preferably CPU) and to get this app in the hands of enthusiasts so that I can get some real data on its efficacy. If that goal is hit, then my plan is to iterate and keep increasing the raga count on the model and eventually release to the public. As long as I can get the model to either run locally or for very cheap on server, I hope to not charge for this.
It has been an amazing learning experience. The first time I got a carnatic singer to sing and the model nailed almost all ragas was the highest high I've felt in a while.

#399Repo: https://github.com/1backend/1backend
After some 12+ years of collecting microservices platform ideas in my head and implementing them at various companies and open-source projects, I decided to create a system that contains all of them.
1Backend is the result. Mostly built it for myself so I have a foundation to build projects on but I'd love if others would also use it!

#400I'm bootstrapping my predictive database startup https://aito.ai/ :-)
More specifically, I have worked on the demo https://github.com/AitoDotAI/aito-demo to make use cases visual and well described. E.g. smart search use case is here https://github.com/AitoDotAI/aito-demo/blob/main/docs/use-ca...
Claude Code is doing absolute wonders on setting things up. One has to just check out for hallucinations and made-up stuff in any written content.
