I’m hacking on different side projects but currently I’m working on developing a platform for helping freelancers or small agencies understand aws costs and optimize their environments

Its been a pain point for a lot of the clients I work with helping them understand and optimize their aws costs

They might get a surprise 1000 dollar bill and won’t be able to understand why it happened or what incurred that costs

I'm building a specialized web app for temporary chat sessions. It is an open-source, privacy-first solution featuring Zero Persistence. Right now, the focus is on the image messaging system.

I'm working on a collection of mnemonic images for learning written Chinese. Each has a solarpunk-style image referencing both the character's meaning and pictographic etymology, with the character overlaid and color-coded to indicate the tonality in Mandarin.

While I'm talking about it, do the folks here have any suggestions where I should make it available? I want it to be a free educational resource for whoever might want it.

This month I'm continuing development on VT Code, my coding agent. I recently added Anthropic Agent Skills support and am really excited about it.

I'm working on Kanji Palace (https://kanjipalace.com).

It's an app to learn Japanese language with AI. It has visual mnemonic images, JLPT progress tracker, Kanji info graphic, etc.

Later, I will add AI-comic creation based on Kanji characters you've selected.

I’m building a web application to catalog your guitars and amps and pedals and record each time you service them and when you bought or sold them. It’s a free service and I’m looking for BETA users to try it out. I switched up the tech stack and went with Rails with minimal AI assistance to go back to feeling like I did back in uni when I was building applications for fun and had to figure things out by trial and error. It’s been nice switching gears and doing things my way.

Take a look at https://pickpedia.app
