OkNext! ( https://oknext.io ) - a task manager for solopreneurs and small teams. I'd love for you to try it out! It is browser based only for now and pretty basic. I'm adding features sparingly as needed but my next task is to add some documentation for brand new users and making what it can already do more obvious.

The screenshot on the homepage should be a demo instance of the web app that uses session storage.

The first ever SQL debugger – runs & visualizes your query step-by-step, every clause, condition, expression, incl. GROUP BY, aggregates / windows, DISTINCT (ON), subqueries (even correlated ones!), CTEs, you name it. You can search for full or partial rows and see the whole query lineage – which intermediate rows from which CTEs/subqueries contributed to the result you're searching for. Entirely offline & no usage o…

This is awesome! I’m work with a team of analysts and data engineers who own a pretty big snowflake data warehouse. We write a ton of dbt models and have a range of sql skill levels on the team. This would be the perfect way to allow more junior devs to build their skills quickly and support more complex models.

I would recommend you target data warehouses like snowflake and bigquery where the query complexity and thus value prop for a tool like this is potentially much higher.

Building a suite of apps and a piece of hardware for my Sovereign IT stack. CarPuter and Daily Driver App Club (dailydriverapps.com).

Think multi-generational family and asset data. Everything in common formats, written in simple code.

Looking for early customers or modest pre-seed investment.

I've been working hard on MCP Router. MCP Router is a free desktop app (Windows/Mac) that lets you securely manage local or remote MCP servers via GUI, with access control & logs.

https://github.com/mcp-router/mcp-router

Works with VSCode, Cursor, Cline and any MCP client, and connects to servers from any registry (Zapier, Smithy, etc.).

Working on a series of interviews with gamers about how the hobby is part of their lives, called Unmuted [1]. It's been awesome to interview people from different backgrounds and see how gaming has influenced them.

It's the first original piece of content for a newsletter of curated gaming content that I've been running for more than five years now, called The Gaming Pub [2].

Infinite 3D worlds! Also love how the Godot engine is so small and fast https://github.com/bsubard/Godot-3D-Procedural-Infinite-Terr...

if you haven't seen, there is a fun game on the xbox called Exo One. i am certain it could be done in the browser.

A tree cutting tool. Take photos of the tree from 6 different angles, feed into a 3D model generator, erode the model and generate a 3D graph representation of the tree. The tool suggests which cuts to make and where, given a restricted fall path (e.g. constrained by a neighbors yard on one side). I create the fallen branches in their final state along the fall plane, and create individual correction vectors mapping…

Do consider the value of the wood in relation to your cuts. A well-placed cut not only guarantees safety but will also take the maximum board feet from the tree.

Seems insignificant. What are you optimizing for- an extra foot or two?
