#412I am working on Kastanj. It aims to make cooking as foolproof as it can get. Anyone should be able to cook any recipe and get it right on the first try. Clear step by step images and instructions for everything etc.
It also features a recipe manager with family/friends sync. This makes it possible to upload your grandmother’s cookbook and share them with your whole family.

#413I built Collider, A wrap-based package and dependency manager for Meson.
I needed a way to use and push my own artifacts in Meson projects. WrapDB is fine for upstream deps, but I wanted to publish my packages and depend on them with proper versioning and a lockfile, without hand-editing wrap files.
Collider builds on Meson’s wrap system: you declare deps in collider.json, run collider lock for reproducible installs, and push your projects as wraps to a local or HTTP repo. It’s compatible with WrapDB, so existing workflows still work: you just get a clear way to use and push your own stuff. Apache-2.0.

#414Nobody will read this and the game is not ready, BUT maybe one of you can check it out and tell me what you think. It is called ZAEL. It is a mage arena web app (smartphone/Desktop), played from 1 to 4 players, no login, easy to share a link to invite people into your game, whatever the platform. It is no install, no bullshit. Just click and play
I have found out that it is very efficient to use phaser.js/three.js for fast, vibe coding, because it handles everything without having to setup a unity scene manually or unreal blueprint. I really recommend to make web apps instead for vibe coding. I love how easy it goes.

#415Building ConvoLens [1] - app to explore the content of video interviews from YouTube channels I like (such as Dwarkesh Patel's): research by keyword, RAG, visualization of discussed topics with a 2D projection, semantic graph, and the possibility to generate a new video or audio from a playlist of video segments.
Supports only YouTube as the data source, and Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite for processing, but it can easily be tweaked. Runs locally with Docker compose.

#416Rebuilding iNaturalist with open source/weights models that can run on edge compute for better privacy, and hopefully accuracy.

#417Alfred/Spotlight like quick access search[1] for Bitwarden.
Built and adding few add on features on the way: copy card numbers and view notes.
With Rust, bwc-cli - it decrypts vault into zeroize and provides near instant search with hotkey.

#418https://llmpm.co I have built npm for LLM models, which lets you install & run 10,000+ open sourced large language models within seconds. The idea is to make models installable like packages in your code: llmpm install llama3 llmpm run llama3 You can also package large language models together with your code so projects can reproduce the same setup easily. Github: https://github.com/llmpm/llmpm-dev
Also, is there is way I can invoke the models or is there an API which your tool exposes?

#419Well, I just jumped full time on IronCalc[1] a fully open source, light and fast spreadsheet engine designed and build from the ground up.
I have been working on it as side project for over two years and now, with funding from the EU for the next 2.5 years, I hope I can make of it a real product for everyone to use that can compete with the likes of Excel and Googl;e Sheets.
I can oly say, I am overly, off the Moon excited

#420Mostly art projects:
- VR version of Surface Browser (3d internet browser): https://boxc.net/surfacebrowser.html
- Crowd Strike: faster self-driving: an exhibition where the visitors help autonomous drones target a different visitor each minute with lasers
and also Wingman: a dating app secretary (privacy focus, runs locally on your computer for any dating app that has a web site. It tells you if favourites have messaged you): https://boxc.net/wingman_app.png I'll open source this one if interest.
