I am working on https://embedhub.com

I am building better dev tools for firmware and PCB developers.

For example, we have GitHub Action workflows that allow you to push builds to the connected EmbedHub project. Your EmbedHub project has fine grained release management - so for example only the git tagged releases will be shared with the customer, but the testing/QA team will get access to builds from regular commits on branches as well.

I am also building a physical device (called HAL) similar to the now discontinued EtcherPro[1] - which will connect to your EmbedHub account and have access to your releases. This will let you offload tasks like long term testing, mass flashing and provisioning of devices, and more.

I've created an AI-assisted writing platform, that doesn't generate text, but instead lends focus to human creativity, and have AI assist you instead of trying to replace you.

https://www.arcitext.com

You create a writing style via existing text examples, blog posts or URLs, and Arcitext extracts a "writing fingerprint" which it benchmarks new text against.

There's a solid Markdown Editor with tools such as Tone Fit, Rewrite suggestions and Fact Check, which helps you when you need it.

Kind of like having a writing coach and content strategist on speed dial.

I've been building a Decentralized Database built on top of syncing CRDTs, and recently got it to a point I can demo. It's definitely in a "proof-of-concept" stage though, known security holes and all.

I've been focused on building out the featureset and keeping everything unstable instead of trying to finalize each piece as I build it. It's the opposite of how I normally build things but I think it's been working pretty well for this.

I've written about it a few times, most recently "Using CRDTs + Sync as a Database" - https://jackson.dev/post/crdts_as_database/

I have been working on https://easymiet.eu/ It is specific to the German rental market. Basically if you want to rent an appartment in Germany most landlords require you to fill out a non-standardized self-disclosure form. That can be annoying to the landlord because especially in larger cities you might have a couple of hundret applicants and it is also annoying to the possible renter since they have to fill out the same information for every apartment they apply for. This is where easymiet comes in. As a landlord you can generate a viewing, shared it through QR or a link. Interested renters can apply using their profile. It also has a application approve and dismissal workflow automatically sending emails to the applicant. My plan was to monitize it selling applicants the ability to add more info to their profile like a picture or relevant documents. However so far I haven't been able to generate much interest. The tech stack is Next JS with BetterAuth, Drizzle and Postgres. It is hosted on a Hetzner VPS using Kamal ( wrote a blogpost about that if you are interested: https://markow.dev/blog/complex-next-js-app-kamal )

I made a HN-like discussion forum for (meta)science.

https://talk.amacrin.com/

Most (meta)science discussion is either fragmented on Twitter/Bsky, or a bit too formal. I thought a centralised place for deeper, casual discussions might be helpful, so I'm testing that theory.

Launched a few days ago, so it might have some rough edges. I'm considering making it user-invite-only soon, but for now it's fully open for signup. I'll also move it to its own domain once I think of a better name.
