I'm reviving my multi-player Snake game Snaketron. It's written in Rust and probably the most technically interesting thing about it is that it's built for auto scalable Cloud hosting. The websocket isn't tied to the host actually running the game. And it can scale and rebalance in the middle of the a match without disrupting the game.

Working on the chainsaw for my centaur form factor robot. Have one part to machine then just need to weld everything up and will be ready to try it out. It uses a motor and controller sourced from an E foil, and has 2DOF position control. https://www.satyress.com/buildprogress I've also been slowly chipping away at a Jagged Alliance 2-like game in Godot. Nothing to share yet but if anyone else is also frustrated that…

I saw some coverage of your robot on social media. I honestly thought it was a hoax because of the very bold design and AI generated images. Cool concept, have you had any potential customers reach out?

A writing app.

The overall idea is to work/write at an higher level of abstraction where you work with "ideas" (just small paragraphs).

You can move them around and basically restructure many/whole paragraphs by simply changing few words.

The final text is generated by an LLM.

LLM that has the whole context so you can ask it questions, but more importantly it can provide you feedback

Had a problem this week helping a customer troubleshoot some SAML interactions. They couldn't install SAML Tracer in their environment and I got tired of digging through HAR files and manually decoding SAML assertions and the like so I made https://hartosaml.com/.

Just drop in your HAR file and get immediate insights into the SAML related events.
