https://concludia.org/ - I've mentioned it here before, it's a site to help people reason through and understand arguments together. No real business purpose for it yet, it's more an idea I've had for years and have been wanting to see it through to something actually usable. You can graphically explore arguments, track their logical sufficiency/necessity, and make counterpoints. It's different than other types of ar…

We would have saved so many wasted hours in the last company I worked for if we had this... you have no idea, to give you a sense, the decision to move from a Neo4J db to MySQL (the service was failing, the DB was failing, it was a bad architecture decision) took 6 months, when it should have been at most a couple days discussion.

Nurture this, it will become a great tool in the belt for a lot of people

https://sampler.meiji.industries/ I built a TUI sampler which cherry-picks my favourite features from modern & vintage hardware samplers, DAWs, plugins, outboard FX gear, and DJ equipment. If you know what an AKAI MPC Live, MPC 3000, SP404, SP1200, BOSS RC-202, Alesis 3630, Serato Sample, S950 filters, and stem separation does, then you'll love seeing these "greatest hits" up in a terminal interface. Last year while…

I love working on the terminal and this looks great, but can I ask why do you require to sign in? To be that's a bit of a downer :(

A Postman-like MQTT platform with variables and custom MQTT topic buttons.

https://github.com/alsoftbv/topic-lab

It's a Tauri-based app so it has small binaries and supports MacOS, Linux, and Windows.

No screenshots yet, couldn't find the time for marketing work. I'm building features as I am using them. I wanted my colleagues to give it a go first before sharing to the public, but I believe it's already valuable as-is.

Currently building chess puzzles based game called ChessBingo[2]. It's almost finished, but there are still things to polish.
