I am building https://arabicworksheet.com, AI powered Saudi Arabic learning app for expats who work and live in saudi arabia. 100% FREE. It generates printable worksheets based on your level, dialect and topics.

I am also building an app for kids to make their arabic learning fun, rewarding and enjoyable. Do try and share your feedback. TIA

I'm working on a survival game in the line of MC, Valheim and Vintage Story. Last months have been focused on developing the survival core mechanics on top of building and fighting. Im now entering in the final phase of wiring all the pieces together. Streaming the process daily on Twitch.

The software engineer in me wanted a break, but the philosopher and systems thinker wanted to speak.

So I've been building something with no imported libraries or dependencies: a card game that gamifies Maslow's hierarchy of needs: https://gamefound.com/en/projects/nicomar/actualize-this

Each player drafts cards that represent ways you can spend your limited time on earth to gather resources (wisdom, gold, and virtue) to complete your own personal player board (your hierarchy of needs) with the goal of reaching self-actualization before other players. However, you can still win without becoming self-actualized, if you complete more hidden quests (which can only be discarded by the "therapy session" card).

I'm working on Pocketdata - a personal, private AI data plane.

The idea is to take boring components: PostgreSQL, Bifrost (LLM gateway), Open WebUI, LanceDB, Agentgateway (MCP and OpenAPI gateway) and deploy them in Fly.io. One Fly.io "org" per user. The closest equivalent is blaxel.ai, but it caters for AI SaaS startups, not individual customers.

The combination of the fact that Fly secrets are visible only from within the apps, distroless containers, and transparent data encryption for PostgreSQL assures that the service (Pocketdata) provider cannot access their data, only the infrastructure provider (Fly.io) theoretically can, but practically speaking, this gives an extremely high degree of privacy assurance.

The latest update on the project: https://engineeringideas.substack.com/p/tasklet-is-the-o1-mo...

https://lunchtrain.se/ A one glance page to find what to eat for lunch in Lindholmen, Gothenburg, Sweden

Working on this made it really clear to me how a LLM can bring real value to a backend, it excels on processing very differently structured dynamic data (something if done without an LLM would require quite specific code - which would lead to more development time and increase time to market)

https://moveline.app/

I wanted to visualize all my walks and runs on a single map. I built a native iOS app that fetches Apple Health and Strava workouts and visualizes them. Privacy was a major factor in building the app, so all the data stays on the device. Next version will have a time-lapse video option. Any feedback welcome.
