An open-source, self-hostable app for sending out newsletter to your friends and families. I'm mostly making it for myself because I want to share what I've been up to and family photos, without uploading it to Facebook or whatnot. At the moment, the flow goes like this: 1. During the week, write posts for things that have happened. 2. Posts can be assigned to groups. (family, friends etc). 3. At the end of the week…
If already open sourced, would love a link!

https://easel.games A game engine that lets you code multiplayer games without coding the multiplayer! My idea was to put multiplayer into the fabric of the programming language itself. This allows the engine to automatically turn your game into a multiplayer game, without you needing to learn anything about networking or synchronization. I imagine there are lots of people who have the talent and creativity to create…
Do you have links to the games people have made that you’re most proud of? I see you’re wanting users to pay monthly to play games with for Easel+, do you think the current catalogue provides the right value?
The pricing model and how to run Easel sustainably is a huge question. Easel is basically a free product, which is what I want because (a) I would just like people to use it and (b) multiplayer games need lots of players. I made the upfront decision to never run ads on Easel because I want parents and schools to be happy with it being used by their teenagers, and that has greatly changed the business dynamics. I have very delicately managed the cost-efficiency of Easel only expecting about 1% of people to ever subscribe to Easel+. For this reason, I've avoided expensive features so that one dedicated server can run at least 1 million projects and handle thousands of concurrent players at a manageable cost. It's been a real slimming exercise.
I know the catalogue is small, but despite that, there are some people who come back and play one game every single day on Easel. There are also people who come back and make games every day on Easel. And there are some who do both. We have people exceeding 100+ hours a month sometimes. It's these people who Easel+ is for. Easel+ is designed as a package deal with a bunch of different game-playing and game-making perks so that people can decide for themselves what parts of the package they find valuable. But I would honestly be happy to have thousands of people using it and not paying a cent. This is my life's work and I just want it to be used, even if I have to fund it all myself.
I'm trying out vibe coding a bit on my olive oil index site — building a full website with 11ty, tailwind and LLMs. The LLMs also serve as a data pipeline to watch and update content as new information is published online: https://www.extravirginvault.com/ I've always enjoyed the farm-to-table concept, but I find it really hard to identify trustworthy companies. Wine has been done to death, but I feel extra virgin ol…

I’m building https://TaleTwister.com – an AI tool that generates and narrates bedtime stories based on a kid’s interests, a specific moral lesson, age, and optional specifications. The product was born out of necessity (a stint of bad behavior that comes with age). It uses GPT-4 for story generation, ElevenLabs for narration, and a simple Next.js + Supabase stack for the app layer. I’m experimenting with story memory…
Edit: Looking at the featured story, I notice that the character illustration is not consistent currently. I got relatively consistent character illustration from scene to scene by asking the LLM to write a prompt for image generation based on the story text and use the same character description in each sentence. That got me pretty consistent character drawings. Also, to keep the same drawing style, my prompt was like:
Drawing style e.g., Digital painting {drawing prompt}
I made it because the desktop software I use (ImageOptim) doesn't support Jpegli, which I find to be much better than mozjpeg for most types of jpegs used on the web.
There's still a lot of missing pieces, like adding color quantization and other PNG options, improving the UI, parallel webworker support, etc. The code is open source and can be used as a library: https://github.com/sampullman/image-opt
After that's out (hopefully end of the week), gonna focus on ambient voice AI that would do turn taking (e.g. participate in conversations when it makes sense).
It started as a side project to explore the latest AI trends. Now it’s something we use daily — and others are starting to as well.
Thoughtcatcher is a lightweight, AI-powered notes + reminders app that acts like a memory companion.
It helps you: - Capture raw thoughts and auto-tag them using AI - Set smart reminders triggered by context and meaning - This was a game changer for me personally - Search and chat with your notes like a conversation — not just by keywords, but by intent
Example? You’re walking out of a meeting and think: “We should revisit that pricing model after the new release.” You jot it into ThoughtCatcher — no structure, no stress. A week later, right before the next sprint planning, it reminds you. Just when you would’ve forgotten — it remembers.
What started as a learning project has grown into something useful — not just for individuals, but for teams too.
We’re now exploring B2B use cases like: • Project knowledge management • Shared team notes with smart search and chat • Meeting follow-up insights and reminders • AI-powered team memory for client or product work
Want to try it out? Android users: Download the app iOS users: Use the PWA — just “Add to Home Screen”
Still early. Still learning. But ThoughtCatcher already feels like something I wish I had years ago.
Would love your feedback or thoughts. And if you’re building something similar— let’s connect
I'm working on the next major update for LookAway. I'm improving the wellness reminders to be smarter - instead of nagging you on a timer, blink and posture alerts now only trigger when you actually need them.
Also adding productivity stats so you can see how taking proper breaks during prolonged screen time affects your work output.
