My kids' elementary school has a running club that I manage. In past years they pay a subscription to a company that's quite expensive to track laps. I decided to implement some software that's better and runs on an rpi.

It's working very well, and the kids like it more because it has audio feedback on laps and time.

Besides the cheap USB qr scanners there's no expenses either.

Been working on issue 2 for Forest Friends Zine. The first issue was on system evals, and it was well received. I also learned a lot about how these RAG systems are built. The second issue will either be about UI to gather user feedback or tool use.

I am working on a vector graphics editor https://www.hyvector.com

Basic features are implemented, it is fast and already quite stable and slick. For the first version all that is missing is a website and feedback channels.

There are major features in the pipeline and I hope that one day I will be able to make some money with this project.

I read about things I don't understand all the time, and the best way I know to train myself to retain information is to actively take notes directly on the thing I am reading on.

Using a highlighter or annotation type tool, if you will.

So I decided to build an annotation tool for all public webpages! Playground demos of how it will work: - https://www.contextdive.com/snapshot?snapshottedId=47692b19-... - https://www.contextdive.com/snapshot?snapshottedId=3557f52f-...

^These are previously snapshotted page, you can highlight anywhere and leave a comment by right clicking for the context menu

\PS: I still don't have persistence of comments working yet since its a playground, but would love to hear feedback if anyone would like to use it.

Free and open source Okapi BM25 search for Postgresql implemented in PL/pgSQL, so it works without extensions.

Might be useful in hosted/cloud Postgres, where you can't use Rust extensions.
