#432A clear, simple Markdown viewer for the Mac: ViewMD
When using developer AI agents like Claude Code, often they output, and use, .md files like CLAUDE.md, README.md, etc. You largely want to just read these, and if Claude updates them, read the latest version.
Other markdown apps incorporate editing, split screens, etc. I just wanted a neatly formatted read only view. And if you want to edit them, just use something specifically designed for that like Sublime Text, my viewer will instantly load with the updated file.
Anyway, check it out: search for "ViewMD" in the Mac App Store.

#433A configurable and extensible orchestrator for Claude Code (and other agents). Turns out it can be effectively used not only for coding, but also for reviews, testing, and other tasks. https://github.com/Gusarich/orchestrator

#434Experimenting with exhaustive tagged-union support based on Clojure's defmulti.
I think it might be better to go the other way, and have a pattern-matchey form generate the defmethods instead, but I need to gain tacit knowledge about it first.

#435Quick, clear, non-partisan analysis of government actions
When I read social spaces like Reddit or X, if the government has done anything contentious you get nothing more than strident left takes, or strident right takes on the topic. Neither of which is informative or helpful.
So I am setting up a site which uses AI which is specifically guided to be neutral and non-partisan, to analyse the government actions from the source documents.
It then generates: - a summary, - expected affects, - benefits, - disadvantages, and - ranks the action against 19 "things you care about" (e.g. defence, environment, civil liberties, religious protection, etc.)
The end result is quite compelling. For example here's the page that summarises all the actions which are most, and least, beneficial to individual liberties:

#436I've been building promptslice.com as a way to create, test, and optimize prompts + tools + context. I needed it when building agents for other use cases so I built it. Unlike Langsmith and some of the other prompt editors, this has a first class editor for your prompt with "Cursor style" chat where you can ask it to make tweaks, overhaul sections, optimize ambiguity, etc.
The demo on the homepage is neat. I see the advantage of the editor.

#437I've been working on a "businesses for sale" aggregation/search engine that sources data from all of the major "business for sale" type platforms in Australia and de-duplicates listings, extracts data like revenue/profit/etc, and normalises it all for quick browsing. I have a couple of family members and friends who are looking to buy businesses (separately), and it's been much more time-consuming than you'd expect j…
When a previous employer went bust, it was bought by the CEO after being listed by the administrator on an obscure website (ip-bid.com) which you have to make an account and log in to just to see the listings. There was only one bid. (I leave to the reader to speculate on the utility of a bid website without public listings, but such listings might represent good value compared to those advertised more widely). It ma…
We have ASIC (Australian Securities & Investments Commission) that handles company registrations, notices, etc. and they maintain a register of insolvency notices and liquidations.
This can be a reasonable place to go to look for distressed businesses/assets too and I've considered using them as a source with my aggregation/search engine, though they don't really have the same type of information as a business for sale listing so they fall somewhat outside of the main type of results that I otherwise display.
Other reasonable places I've seen too, though in incredibly low volumes (think 0-3 listings a month), are commercial auction houses/sites where they'll list a business for sale or the full assets of a business. The main issue with that it is that they're so low volume that I'm not sure it's worth spending the time ingesting them this early on while there's still many other larger listing sources.

#438Currently working on https://exitfox.com/. After recently switching jobs, I became frustrated with the handover process to the new joiner. This experience inspired me to start building a tool that uses Gemini/Claude to ask relevant questions about the project being handed over, streamlines the exit process in a structured format, Now I am adding more features for HR managers and employees around Clearance, FnF etc
Interestingly I found Claude Code to be the only LLM good at designing frontend, asking it to make it look better actually helps

Living in Australia and interested in buying a business, I can attest to biz4sale-type sites being a real problem.
If you're interested in giving the tool a shot, feel free to shoot me an email (take my username and insert an @ after david and a .com at the end) and I'll happily give you access after I get it up somewhere publicly accessible -- possibly in the next couple of weeks.

#440I'm heads down building a workflow pipeline builder that executes Wasm Components as part of individual nodes within the pipeline. Think Zapier or n8n, but you either use existing processing nodes or upload your own code, written of course in any language that compiles to Wasm Components. It's week 2 but it works and it's live at https://pipestack.dev
Anyway to reach you?
