Working on a 1.0.0 launch for Flyde - https://flyde.dev/, an open-source visual programming language. It works great for embedding visual AI flows for backend logic. Integrates with TypeScript code, runs on VSCode & Node.js (via a runtime library, in-repo, no containers needed)

Would love to chat with people looking to combine n8n-ish capabilities in their code!

https://inspo.dev - The idea is a chrome extension that let's you iterate ridiculously fast on frontend web components - click one button, select the element like you're using Chrome's inspect dev tools, press generate, and 60 seconds later, AI has given you ~7-10 new variations on how you could style that component, with the code ready to implement.

Struggling to get the generated iterations to be up to a standard I'm happy with at the moment, but improving every day!

I made a film called "Searching For Kurosawa". This short documentary chronicles the story of Kawamura, a man who worked with legendary Japanese director Akira Kurosawa on the set of his opus "Ran". Kawamura was working in the BTS crew, but his footage got confiscated. It took almost 40 years to recover the footage and present that as his feature film. My film got screened at the Academy Award-qualifying Bali Interna…

Wow :)

I’m working on https://finbodhi.com — a double-entry personal finance tool where you own your data. It’s local-first, syncs across devices, and everything’s encrypted in transit. It helps you track, understand, and plan your personal finances — with a proper accounting foundation. It's interesting in many way. Using double-entry (it's a perspective shift), the technical challenges of building local-first app, UI/UX &…

Good stuff! This was the first thing I checked, and it means I am now reading more about the app. Really nice to see this approach.

I know this is still WIP, but is feedback ok? The plan buttons say "Get starterd" which is a funny typo :) Also, I was not sure, but is this a website app, or a local app? For local data, I would strongly prefer an actual local app. Some screenshots of how it looks on multiple devices (directly comparable, as in, this is the same view and same data on iOS/Mac) would be great. Finally, do you have bank links? _The_ killer app I want in a personal finance app, and you'd be surprised how many make this really difficult, is to track my actual income and spending.

I signed up for your newsletter. Rare for me to do. Looking forward to hearing more!

I just took a fortnight off work with the intent of getting away from my laptop, but accidentally ended up making a listings site for London's independent / arts cinemas. As far as I can tell no such thing currently exists, and I feel like it should. Obviously the main thing is getting the listings data, which as far as I know (mostly) isn't readily available any other way that scraping the cinemas' websites, for whi…

Love these tiny, locally focused ideas!

I'm working on a new app for creating technical diagrams - https://vexlio.com . It's an area with some heavyweight incumbents (e.g. Visio, Lucid) but I think there's good opportunity here to differentiate in simplicity and overall experience. I'm still in the fairly early phase, and I suspect I haven't quite found the best match of features to customers yet. From a dev perspective this area has a ton of super interes…

Unless you intend to be acquired by Overleaf I don't really see a future for your business to be honest.
