Still working on my food sharing platform since the pandemic. However, acquiring more partner restaurants is a thankless job and food donations tend to be clustered in particular areas. Still hoping for a lucky news story that might make this interesting for partners without my relentless outreach.

#462I'm working on a mobile game that is something of a homage to the Forest Brother movement in the Baltic states post Soviet occupation where tens of thousands of men, women, and children fled to the woods and then waged guerrilla warfare for years (most were systematically killed, captured, or lured out with offers of amnesty within a few decades). The mechanics are going to be similar to Rebel Inc but I try to mix in historic details in the events that happen!

#463Still working on CopDB, started adding jurisdictions outside of Utah and were thinking about doing some mass imports from select other data sources.

#464still wip but QuiltOps which is basically just Quilt+Tooling so you can keep your package mods up to date with upstream. A new package drops (oh no another 0day in htop) and you want to apply your htop-but-with-xcowsay.patch and it will auto rebuild against your patchset or notify you on failure... Thats the idea anyway.

#466Mainly https://www.vaava.app/ is a baby tracking/logging app I originally built for myself, now available on both app stores. All the user generated data is stored only on device and is transferred in local network to users who you have paired the app with. There is 0 behavioural analytics, even the crashlytics are 100% optional. There is a couple of semi-unique features; you can use your voice to dictate and generat…

You should take a second look at the translations because some of the Swedish ones are incorrect or strangely worded.

This should be "Ja"

Another case where it's just the wrong language

#467Software distribution is getting harder. New products launch every day, and paid advertising has become increasingly competitive. Many companies spend money on ads and get poor results, not because the platforms don’t work, but because running effective campaigns requires a lot of experimentation, creative work, and ongoing optimization.
Over the years, I built a collection of scripts to speed up ad creation, testing, and campaign management. As generative AI improved, it became possible to automate much more of that workflow, and those scripts gradually evolved into a product.
The result is Zendux AI (https://zenduxai.com).
The idea is simple: instead of manually creating dozens of ads, users can generate different angles, messages, layouts, and formats from a single brief. They can then launch those ads on platforms like Meta Ads and automate parts of the testing process using rules and scheduled workflows, similar to cron jobs.

#468I'm really interested in gamedev tooling and I'm working on a tool called PixelAid[0] right now. A lot of people are essentially discovering AI image gen as a way to make art for games, but AI is especially bad at pixel art right now. Color palettes, grid sizes, animation drift are some really big issues that basically make those things unusable. I wanted to take a non-AI approach to fix these things with some good ol' math and tools.
I'm trying to build more things around AI pixel art - honestly, I think it's crazy some people out there are charging money for things like this and seeing where I can help (and also just learn more about this stuff myself).

#469This is the first year I made more money selling art than I did freelancing web dev. I just incorporated and formalized my web dev business ( https://lcdbmg.com ). A couple of weeks later I got a booth at an art festival and ended up selling many prints ( https://lucidbeaming.com ). I think the universe is telling me something.
congrats! I wish I could make a living of art again, music production in my case.
Because being a dev in 2026 is becoming unbearable.

#470Since I shared it last time, I have been still working on it — adding more content, tiny improvements and enrichments, and socializing it so that i can get some crowdsourced help with the content and research. I would say I worked more on the CMS/admin panel behind it.
Those of you who are new to this, Qawwali is predominantly south asian genre that is centuries old. My goal with this website is more like wiki, or a gateway for anyone wanting to get introduced to the genre. One of the main, and the complex feature that i worked on was building family trees/lineages. https://www.qavvali.com/
