The final stretch of getting my game ready for release next week: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2764460/Sandustry/ It's an automation game and factory builder with "falling sand" physics. Think Noita meets Factorio.

I can't wait to play, I've been looking forward to the release!

A Drobpox like app that works with FTP and every other storage protocol along gateways to access your Dropbox over FTP, SFTP, S3: - the desktop client: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/fdrive - the web client: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash

Cool. I signed up to pCloud recently and what I miss most is a native way to edit files on iOS and windows desktop and have it auto save. Almost to the point going back to Google or onedrive just so I can use sheets or excel and not thinking about how to open the doc or save it.

What was/is it like working with Hooded Horse? How did you get that going? I'm a big fan of the games they publish :)

Good luck on your game & launch!

It’s not as cool as most of the other projects, but I have a little app (Ato on AppStore - https://apps.apple.com/app/ato/id6757285141) for basically tracking all walks/bike rides I’ve ever been and visualize it on a single map. I’ve had the app for a couple of years, but redid it with “hexes”, instead of just routes. It has a bit of coop, competition and ranking feeling to it nowadays as well.

I started the original project as an excuse to learn SwiftUI, then been using it as an excuse to test all the frontier models and etc. to see how much better we’re getting at AI-coding. Kinda fun to see a couple dozen weekly users semi-competing with each other. Obviously nothing big, but the feeling you get seeing someone else use your app is very nice.

My wife and I are working on a math/science/CS-inspired jewelry business. We try to create pieces that stand on their own aesthetically but have a hidden meaning. We currently have two styles: lambda calculus based pieces (we depict the lambda/Tromp diagram) where we have Y-Combinator earrings (well, strictly speaking they are one beta reduction away from Y-combinator. Aesthetic oblige) and a pendant depicting a lamb…

This would be perfect for the Computer History Museum gift shop:

My two biggest projects are: https://www.idlequest.net/ - a from-scratch recreation of the 1999 MMORPG classic EverQuest, featuring a real-time MMO server written in Go, a 3D game browser-based client built with Babylon.js, and the clasic UI recreated using React. You can play it both as a regular MMORPG but also in "idle mode" where it basically plays itself. This had up to 70 players online at once a while back whi…

This is AWESOME Brynn! Incredibly impressive. This was my favorite game back when, spent so many hours fighting orcs and selling goods at the bazaar up until someone called the house and I was kicked offline. I'm excited to dig deeper into your recreation. Huge props.

I've been working on Contextify, which backs up your Claude Code and Codex conversational history and makes your entire history available via a skill or mcp. Contextify ( https://contextify.sh ) It is very flexible, you use it the normal flow of CLI AI conversations: 1. Resume unfinished work → "where did we leave off on that?" 2. Recover the intent/scope → "what was the actual goal of this whole effort?" 3. Verify i…

Great work! Love the harnessing of Apple's local inference. Wondering if you'd be willing to support the same conversational export, summarization, and search/retrieval flows but for the consumer platforms (ChatGPT and Claude) that have local conversations stored? (e.g. I've seen that local Claude Cowork conversations are stored in some kind of JSON-based schema that might be similar to Claude Code, but I'm really not too sure).
