Been working on an open source, free, Heroku alternative at https://canine.sh for about two years.

I feel like even after all these years we’re still missing the devex that Heroku provided.

Canine basically wraps a Kubernetes cluster -- gives you a heroku like interface to deploy applications to. At some point, if you get big enough that canine is no longer powerful enough, you can just "eject" canine from kubernetes, and continue using kubernetes directly, without having to do any migrations.

Just passed about 2000 developers, at this point most of my work is resolving bug fixes, adding helper text everywhere to make things cleaner, and supporting setups I've never encountered like homelabs with changing IP's

I'm still iterating on my little mobile app :)

It's an app that allows you to schedule a wake-up call and get a real call from a friendly person, somewhere in the world. No phone numbers exchanged. All calls happen through VoIP in the app.

I'm working on https://xingolak.pages.dev/ I've been learning Basque and wanted to see a visualization of how the semantics move into different grammatical structures when translating between Basque and English/Spanish. Under the hood it's using Stanford NLP to analyze the input then that analysis is given to Claude to generate the data structure needed to visualize the translation. It's really cool and maybe my favo…

This is very cool!

I am finishing the latest version of Dolphin Whispers Chat application, an Android app for trying to chat with dolphins at sea. And the new version will probably be adapted to work with some wearable display glasses so that we can see the spectrogram and the chat text from the app and see the dolphins reactions near the boat without moving our head and refocussing, which makes us losing important and fleeting information about the exchanges. Such exchanges are usually very short and we need to focus on it and not be distracted by changing focus. Once we are better at these exchanges, then they should become longer. www.dolphinwhispers.com

Two things semi-parallelly:

  * Robotics Hello World: Objective is to implement ACT model to train my arm robot on simple pick-and-place tasks. Leaning heavily on HuggingFace's LeRobot library, but stopping short of using their model implementation and training loop. https://github.com/avilay/learn-robotics

  * Designing a new programming language: This is when I want to escape the annoyances of coding in Python and start daydreaming about a new language :-) https://github.com/avilay/kulfi

I've been building my own IRC client: https://github.com/matt0x6F/irc-client/ (#cascade-irc on Libera)

The client focuses on extensibility, IRCv3 compatibility, and a modern UI and UX. I am realizing that IRCv3 is capable of being built on top of though, so I may start incorporating external features outside of the protocol itself.

Some friends and I have also been building a start up a month and the latest one to come out of it is medspa software: https://spaarc.net

I've been working on releasing an app for maintenance tracking for home. I've always had problems with having in my calendar to replace a battery in my chicken coop every year, then things come up and I end up replacing the battery a few weeks later, so I have to go and change my calendar event. Or fertilizing my hops every two weeks only in the summer. Then in the winter I am getting notified every two weeks. So I b…

I'm building a coupon matchup aggregator for my mom, who knows her way around digital coupon clipping and rebate programs like ibotta, but struggles with juggling all the coupon bloggers that she follows

I'm working on the filtering logic so she more easily find the posts she cares about
