I'm building Tela ( https://github.com/paulmooreparks/tela ), a self-hosted relay that tunnels TCP services through encrypted WireGuard connections. The key difference from Tailscale and similar tools is that it requires no TUN adapter, no root access, and no admin privileges on either end. It runs entirely in userspace. My initial motivation was wanting to RDP and SSH into my home workstation from a locked-down corp…

Very cool

Synchronous P2P file sharing tool with post-quantum encryption and virtual mount point (https://keibisoft.com/tools/keibidrop.html)

Both peers mount a virtual FUSE folder. Files shared by one side appear in the other's folder in real time. You can open, copy, and browse your peer's files as if they were local. Files go directly between devices over encrypted gRPC. (by default it tries over LAN, then direct IPV6, then uses a data relay).

The hardest part has been making git repos work through the FUSE mount between peers.

(Been developing the tool for 12 months now, very close to a full release)

Working on m experimentall alternative to PHP's composer. Some projects took 2-3 mins to update with composer, only to fail at the end. Wanted to rework this, but the composer code is big and I honestly didn't feel like touching more PHP than I had to.

So I built my own package manager that's almost ready for alpha.

I've forked Transmission, and I'm trying to implement mutable torrents. Some partial success between two hosts (seeder and leecher) on my own LAN, most of the UI stuff figured out. Will wait until I get it a little more solid before working on the Gtk, Qt, and command-line ports (I expect those to be pure interface work at that point).

I’m working on an ATS system that integrates LLMs for helping the recruiter in writing job descriptions, parsing CVs to Markdown, making summaries of CVs and suggest which ones match the best the job offers giving pluses and minus: https://beehive-ats.com/

B2B SaaS to host 3D scans of DataCenters and industrial plants.

https://quato.xyz

Basically a google streetview tour of your Datacenter or large industrial plant.

You can do some nice things like draw 3D linework to trace the paths of pipes, conduits, eg : https://youtu.be/t8nRhWUl-vA add notes with markdown and html links at useful places in the 3D space.

We have add-ons for generating an 'xray' view floorplan to make it nicer to navigate a large space.

I think we are the first to have a web uploader that can preview and import .e57 panoramas, directly in the web page [ and skip the points if you dont need them ]

Currently in use by a telco in the Americas.

Working on tooling to help make working with agents in parallel easier, with minimal tools/no deps - https://github.com/andrewhathaway/ag.sh I don’t want to manually manage worktrees, tmux sessions, branches but want to remain in the terminal.

Also recently built a home energy cost/consumption display for the TRMNL - https://andrewhathaway.net/blog/ambient-cost-display-for-oct...

brew install apfel

turns out starting a popular open source project comes with ongoing work attached
