Started on making my own AI model benchmarks and leaderboard[0], after I tested MiniMax M2.5, which was supposedly good based on standard benchmarks, but peformed really poorly in practice and burned through hundreds of thousands of reasoning tokens for each request...

I've been working on an AI workspace inside Neovim (and using the editor as the TUI). When I started, I asked myself, "Wait, WHAT?! Another one? Who would use this?" However the goal was never about eyes (well, GH stars) on this new thing, it was about learning. I wanted to dig deeper into how modern-day tools work so I can understand the sort of 'magic' I was experiencing using tools like Claude Code. The more I've been working on this side project, the more I understand about AI systems, agent loops, prompt engineering and all the cleverness that goes into making a good, usable, magical AI agent.

I've joined this year's Flame Game Jam which uses the Flame Engine built on top of Flutter. This is my first game jam and I really hope I manage to submit the game before the deadline on Sunday.

Here's a link to the jam if anyone else is interested, and I recommend joining the Discord server too because the organizers and participants are really great and fun to hang around! - https://itch.io/jam/flame-game-jam-2026

Group chat photobooks. Automatic layouts, no editor/app, unlimited free previews. Build a hardcover (up to 1000 image) and ship it in minutes.

Wanted a physical souvenir for everyone in my long running signal chat but didn’t want to spend hours curating in editors.

ChatShell (https://github.com/chatshellapp/chatshell-desktop) — open-source desktop AI agent built with Tauri 2 + Rust. Ships with 9 built-in tools (web search, bash, file read/write, grep, etc.) so the AI can take real actions from the first conversation. No plugins, no config. Supports 40+ providers, MCP with OAuth, and a skills system. Apache 2.0.

Today working on adding chat history search (FTS5) and OpenRouter Nano Banana 2 support.

I am working on some math education tools. One is free and open-source, the other is paid. Free Math Sheets is a tool to generate math worksheet PDFs (and the answer keys if required). Currently it supports K-5 but I want to expand it to higher levels of math (Calculus, Physics, you name it!). You select a bunch of different options and then generate it. All in the front-end. No back-end or login in required. https:/…

I'm working on a similar thing, but due to various problems I encountered (auto-grading, scheduling, guidance, ...) I have, for now, concentrated on making a curated collection of problems / exercises. It's not yet a generator but rather "one of each kind of problem".

The idea is that _any_ user-facing tool, whether an app, worksheet generator or whatever, will need something like this for content, so I'm making this available for free and hoping for others to build on top of it.

I'm sticking to university-level stuff because I feel that school-level, especially math, is over-saturated already.

Technically, it is currently built as a React app, but that is mostly me sticking to tools that get out of my way. Generating PDFs or Anki files should be relatively straightforward.
