We're working on Inflexa - https://github.com/inflexa-ai/inflexa

It's a local-first CLI for reproducible biological analysis, with provenance tracked on every step. If you're a bioinformatician, we'd absolutely love to hear your feedback!

I'm working on https://hypen.space/ It's a cross-platform UI framework for developing native mobile, desktop and web apps using Typescript, Rust, Go, Kotlin and Swift. Currently it's aimed at "server-driven UI" where your app lives in the cloud but renders on the client, with full compilation to WASM packages coming soon. Of course, you can just embed the server/use it as a library. Some cool things the framework doe…

I really like this. The box/row/column UI generality is exactly what I have in my head and have not found anywhere, that alone will have me playing with it.

I'll also want to see how I can get it plugged into my Postgres database.

What are your goals for client-side performance in the browser? Do you make any claims to be better than React or Angular?

I’m working on building AI-backed sms phone numbers for lead generation campaigns needing 24/7 or multilingual support. Less friction than downloading apps or interfacing with chat bots, and just as powerful.

I'm working on Hiring Method (https://hiring-method.com) – an AI-native, deterministic, math-driven recruitment platform. It extracts structured scorecards from both CVs and job requirements and mathematically matches them, so you can actually review the exact reasoning behind why a candidate scored a, say, 85%. This fitness value is specified at every interview step – as applicant goes through an interview process their scorecard is updated at all steps.

I did the first Show HN a few days ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49083987) but it was sadly left without attention.

Sports betting odds over sms (US only). I’ve had to work with carriers to get exemptions as they have rules about providing betting advice or being affiliated with sportsbooks, which has been interesting.

I continue working on Babel Nexus https://babelnexus.com Explore classic books and big ideas in a whole new way — a discovery system for the public domain. A three-floor knowledge graph: 21 science hexagonal galleries on Level I, 23 literature hexagonal galleries on Level II, and 8 wisdom hexagonal galleries on Level III — 52 hexagonal galleries holding 773 primary works (books, papers, and reports, every one in the public domain), plus an AI Oracle (powered by Google Gemini) that answers free-form questions about the Archive. I have added public domain audiobooks to some of the titles, worked on my first AI created youtube video, added some testimonials, and learned quite a bit more. I have a lot more to do. The project could keep going for a long time with a lot more titles and content. I can add public domain films, public domain comics and other public domain media to existing records. My coding is not great, but the idea at this point has become a proof concept and is moving towards something viable even though it is vibe coded.
