I've been working on two small projects recently. 1. Live Kaiwa — real-time Japanese conversation support I live in a rural farming neighborhood in Japan. Day-to-day Japanese is fine for me, but neighborhood meetings were a completely different level. Fast speech, local dialect, references to people and events from decades ago. I'd leave feeling like I understood maybe 5% of what happened. So I built a tool for mysel…

Oh that Live Kaiwa looks interesting, I might try it out this weekend with my wife and son (native Japanese). Anything to help my admittedly horrible Japanese

NotifyButton - A simple script on the frontend of your site, a complete SaaS platform on the backend for DSA compliance.

If you operate in the EU and want to avoid heavy fines, this is for you. Once integrated, it allows users to report legal content issues directly to you, which you can then manage via a dedicated dashboard following official EU procedures. Without such a system, users are much more likely to file complaints through official state or EU channels, which can trigger investigations.

Since subreddits related to identifying AI images/videos got very popular, my wife started to send me cute AI generated videos, older family members can't distinguish AI videos at all, I've decided to code a weekend side project to train their Spidey sense for AI content. https://IsThisAI.lol The content is hand picked from tiktok, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit and other AI generating platforms. Honestly I don't know w…

I somewhat like it for what it is, but expected something else based on description. This is just a real/ai guesser that doesn't really train you at all.

I've built a generic PKCS#11 interface to the Apple's Secure Enclave[1]

Primarily to use in conjunction with OpenVPN. Like secretive or /usr/lib/ssh-keychain.dylib[2], but not just for SSH.

I am working on a HTML-to-PDF converter written from scratch in pure Go. I got tired of using headless browsers for various reasons and decided to give it a try and implement something that I can use internally. However the results have far exceed my expectations and I've decided to open source everything. It's around 10x to 15x faster than wkhtmltopdf, which is by far the fastest headless browser converter. It's 80x…

It's a personal project, but inspired by OpenClaw (which I find way overhyped), I am building an ambient intelligence layer for investment finance including a 3-tiered memory architecture, sensors (for environment scanning), skills, reasoning agents, and a new agentic UI concept only for that purpose. I wrote about it here: https://jdsemrau.substack.com/p/pair-programming-superbill-w...

Why do you work on this when Claude Cowork for Finance exists>

I just launched bookcall.io publicly last week. Think calendly that treats your scheduling page more like a sales funnel. Very important if one call can make you a bunch of money. Page builder, brand assets, videos, documents etc. attachable. Forms, video calls, everything included.

Also launching a supabase security scanner. If someone wants a free scan hit me up. Includes POCs and verification before and after remidiation. Goodbye false positives.

Do you intend to one day support all the paged media bits in pagedjs? I assume it works with their polyfill but it’d be great to have a built in more performant option.

I’m working on WC Price Hostory, a plugin that handles price tracking and Omnibus Directive compliance for WooCommerce.

It’s been available as a free tool for years, growing to over 45k active installs. I just rolled out the Pro extension to offer more advanced features, and the early traction has exceeded my expectations. If you're running e-commerce in Europe, this is a must-have for staying compliant with EU law.
