A goal tracking app that bridges the gap between a to-do list and a calendar. Todo lists don't track time, while calendar time blocks are too rigid.

I need something that gives me visibility into my pace on recurring goals while still allowing for flexibility, i.e. undone goals roll over to the next period. So Im building an internal app for myself.

Working on Whisperit v3: a document automation platform for lawyers, voice-first.

The idea: lawyers spend 60%+ of their time writing documents. We give them an AI assistant that actually understands legal context — case files, templates, emails, the full picture.

What we've been shipping lately on the v3 branch:

• Workflow engine — visual editor + execution pipeline for legal document workflows (think: intake → draft → review → send, all orchestrated)

• Case-context AI assistant — docked right into your case view, with file attachments, skill system, and next-action suggestions. It knows your case, not just your prompt. Think Pipedrive CRM for lawyer!

• Skills system — modular prompts lawyers can pick and inject (summarize deposition, draft motion, extract key dates, Claude Skills, etc.)

• Cloud drive sync — bi-directional sync with Google Drive and OneDrive. Lawyers keep their existing file setup, we plug in and keep everything in sync

• Outlook, Gmail, IMAP email integration — connect your inbox, pull relevant emails directly into cases

• Template multi-output generation — one case, multiple documents generated in one flow

• BYO AI provider — user/workspace/admin level settings for AI models. Some firms want Azure, some want Anthropic, we let them choose

• Canvas boards with AI context for visual case planning Stack: Next.js 16, FastAPI + LangGraph backend, Supabase.

We're a small team in Switzerland and across the globe, shipping daily. Target is Q1 for the v3 launch. If you work in legal or know lawyers drowning in document work: would love feedback or test our beta :)

Just tried out Opus 4.6 to make a ground-up new version of a perennial side project: static site podcast player.

For this one I focused on loading speed and reducing interaction with repo. So it processes the images (converting to webp) and loads the feed list from a Gist. Also used the "frontend-design" skill. From brief to ready-to-use took about a couple hours.

Dots Journal, a privacy focused lifestyle tracker for iOS.

https://dotsjournal.app

I’ve been suffering from migraines for the past few years and wanted a dead simple way to log when they happen, as well as any other contributing factors I could think of. Inspired by the simplicity of spreadsheets, I built a grid of events, and as you tap on cells, you log “dots”. Those dots, over time, reveal patterns.

I’ve already identified several contributing factors to my migraine triggers using it. It’s been so genuinely useful I wanted to share it with others hoping they might also benefit.

The next big release is coming out later this week which includes visualizations, charts, and on-device analysis of your journal to provide insights.

I’ve been iterating on Toolbit (https://toolbit.app), a local developer utility app I initially shared a while back.

It started as a small attempt to stop bouncing between dozens of web tools for things like JSON/JWT, base64, regex testing, cron expressions, and similar “glue work” tasks. Over time it’s grown into something I keep open all day.

Since the last time I mentioned it, I’ve added quite a bit: • ~40+ tools now (regex tester, PDF merge, image conversion, cron builder, etc.) • workspaces for grouping tools around a task • tool chaining instead of constant copy/paste • snippets, history, and recent items • automatic detection (paste data, it routes you to the right tool)

It’s an Electron app and runs fully local. No accounts, no tracking, no sending data out. The goal isn’t novelty, just reducing friction in everyday dev work.

I’m still smoothing rough edges and figuring out where this is most genuinely useful. Curious how others here think about scope creep vs. “daily driver” utility tools, and what’s worked or failed for you in that space.

I am working on versanovatech.com. Its a learning layer for AI agents that lets them remember, share and learn from their experiences. I have built novasheets.com using the tech of versanovatech.com. It extract structured information from financial excel spreadsheets and is totally free to use.

Also working on App Shot Editor [1], a free iOS/Google App store screenshot generator. Basically my kids were getting into mobile app development, and I wanted an easy way for them to create the screenshots needed for the app store listing.

I am building QuietReads (quietreads.com) - a single-player book tracking app with an AI assistant.

I got tired of the gamification and social elements of Goodreads, StoryGraph and others. I don't care too much about reviews, but do care about engaging deeply with what I am reading.

Lot's to do still: - Refining the experimental MCP integration so I can bring my bookshelf into my AI assistants - OCR to build notes from screenshots - Voice notes

I wrote a little about why I am building the app here: quietreads.com/about Thoughts on building the app: https://thinking.luhar.org/2026/01/building-at-the-speed-of-...

Been dedicating some free time from my weekends to sending PRs the DarkRadiant project: https://github.com/codereader/DarkRadiant

DarkRadiant is open source, cross platform level editor for The Dark Mod and other idTech4 games like Doom 3, Quake 4 and Prey. It is a lot of fun to add features that make level designers more productive. I would like to invite anyone that is curious about wxWidgets, CSG and game dev to join us.

If you are a designer, we could definitely use a new icon set.

A voice agent calls you on your phone, and you talk with them for about 4-5 min per day to practice language immersion. Using the Twilio API and the OpenAI model.

There are issues with interrupting the agent and the high costs of calling non-US numbers. I don't think it will be a commercial business, but it's fun to play with the technology.
