Still working on my books site https://thegreatestbooks.org that I started in 2008. It's been a 1 man team the entire time. I recently made some major algorithm changes that I think greatly improves the rankings. My algorithm code is open source https://github.com/ssherman/weighted_list_rank I do plan on open sourcing more of the code over time. I also have started working on other sites using the same algorithm impl…

Ho, so you're the one that created that website. When I wanted to start reading more and I did not know where to begin, I found this site and started reading stuff from the top. It was incredibly useful to me, thanks!

Prepbook https://prepbook.app a way to collect, organize and consume recipes. You can add a recipe from a link, YouTube video or type it by hand. It's just text, you don't have to fill 27 different text boxes for each ingredient/step. It parses the ingredients and lets you scale the recipe. It has no ads and no spam. It's still in an early phase, your feedback is highly appreciated!

Building a JS implementation of serverlessworkflow.io that runs on the edge.

Wanted workflow orchestration without infrastructure to store workflow JSON/YAML in database/S3/CDN/whatever and execute it on Cloudflare Workers, in the browser, etc.

The magical part about the serverless workflow spec: native JSONSchema support for inputs/outputs at both workflow and task level. This creates composable, Lego-like tools for AI agents - each tool is just a workflow reference that can be fetched on the fly.

Working on final cleanup before publishing.

Vibe coding https://www.threegen.ai/, a fresh take on social media powered by generative AI. Unlike typical AI content workspaces, threegen is an Instagram-like product with these core vibes:

- Reimagined Feed: Ditched the traditional noise—see the prompt and model behind each creation, get inspired, and check out top curated models’ performance. No more digging to figure out how the magic happens.

- Template Remixing: Creators can drop reusable templates for others to remix and build on, speeding up that creative flow.

- Curated Models: Handpicked the best for images, videos, audio, and text—think Costco quality, no endless searching or tweaking needed.

- Infinite Canvas: Reworked the workflow with an upcoming infinite workspace where creators can prompt, drag, and drop to mash up content across media.

- Built for Non-tech Creatives: Driven by our AGI-for-The-Rest-of-Us mission, it’s tailored for non-technical creators to turn imagination into reality.

- Flexible Pricing: No wasted credits—top up for up to 30% extra, never expire, plus member discounts on curated top-tier voice, image, video, and text models.

Happy to chat if you’re also into vibe coding, building consumer AI.

a Slack and Discord app to help take turns (i.e. queue) with your teammates, overwhelmingly used for sharing tech resources like staging servers. It's crazy something that started so tiny (almost as a joke for my old workplace) has grown into my main "thing".

https://tfstate.com

an infrastructure configuration monitoring solution for terraform/opentofu managed stacks. I am unsure how to proceed with this tbh. It's sort of the underdog in this space - it's much cheaper than the competitors. But really, it's yet to make a dent.

(I am maybe prowling around for something new to build)

I'm still working on Habitat. It's a free and open source, self-hosted platform for communities to discover their local area. The plan is for it to be federated, but that's a while off yet. I've made some good progress recently. I've added the ability to temporarily freeze user accounts, custom WYSIWYG editing for sidebar content and functionality that allows the administrator to set site-wide announcements to appear…

Love the idea!

I made a Chrome plugin (inspired by https://grugbrain.dev/) that can translate any big brain webpage for grugs like us.

The last couple of weeks I've been building 'Recivo', a very simple way to receive emails programmatically. There are plenty of API-based services that can be used to send emails, but receiving them is harder. My service exposes a simple REST endpoint + event webhook that makes it a 5 min setup to start receiving. Attachments are included as well.

The main use-cases I'm thinking of right now is triggering agents using email or a very simple document upload flow to any SaaS (just forward an email to the SaaS).

I'm finally getting my online presence in order...

This week, I'll set up a Hugo blog with the Ed theme, love it, looks exactly what I'm looking for, and as a former LaTeX enthusiast, it's pretty close. It's readable, minimalist. I'll need to customize the theme, though. I plan to publish blog posts about anything I find interesting.

https://gohugo-theme-ed.netlify.app/

In parallel to this work, I'm setting up a simple system to keep my website + subdomains easy to build, rebuild, and deploy with Caddy on a cheap Scaleway compute server. In the past, I had some ideas I wanted to publish, but the system I went with made managing the sites dreadful.

Once that's ready, I'm back to learning Rust and crypto. It's fun, interesting, challenging, remote-friendly, and the salaries are usually 30-50% better. My current tech stack feels like a dead end: it has a low ceiling in terms of salary, the projects are generally not very interesting (I'm grateful for my current project, it's the best there is with this technology), and I believe the technology will see a slow and steady decline.

Apart from work, I'm building the playground for my 2 yo son, and planting blueberries, he loves them.
