Today I'm writing a Postgres native function to derive UUIDs from an integer primary key using AES intrinsics. This lets me expose public UUID keys while still using an efficient 64-bit sequential primary key. Not sure if I'll use it compared to just using conventional uuidv7 but it's nice to have options.

A tiny web app for busy weeknight cooking. You tap in what ingredients you’ve got, add a time limit + a couple of preferences, and it gives you 3 genuinely doable dinner ideas with step-by-step recipes (no “manage your pantry”, no endless scrolling). https://spud.recipes It’s early, but people seem to like the “use up what you’ve got” angle. Feedback very welcome.

I did this as a once off.

Took photos of the fridge and pantry and asked the AI to identity all the food and create recipes.

Working on pg-fs, a postgres backed file system abstraction for ai agents. So I agents can be given their familiar file primitives, without

A version of it powers my local rubber duck thoughts and voice note store. Like an explicit chatgpt memory store, helps with information fomo cause I know finding the needle in haystack would be easy.

https://sampler.meiji.industries/ I built a TUI sampler which cherry-picks my favourite features from modern & vintage hardware samplers, DAWs, plugins, outboard FX gear, and DJ equipment. If you know what an AKAI MPC Live, MPC 3000, SP404, SP1200, BOSS RC-202, Alesis 3630, Serato Sample, S950 filters, and stem separation does, then you'll love seeing these "greatest hits" up in a terminal interface. Last year while…

TUI triggered me, so I had to take a look... It appears the GitHub link on your landing page is 404?

if you need an idea: copy+paste online json visualizer (there are dozens of these) But with the one that click an element and it will show different programming language path selectors for that! i haven't found even one of this and it's difficult to see the path of element from sample data to put into an app when there are multiple levels and complex object
