https://inlovingmem.com/ - is a tribute to my recently deceased mom that I vibe coded over the last week. I felt her life deserved to be celebrated widely but wanted to be sensitive to her privacy. I've also built in a number of interactive features for participation in funeral services etc, before, during, and after. Folks have reached out about having an 'In Loving Memory Of' site for their loved ones, so I'm turni…

This is one lovely concept. What did you use to vibe code it?

Developing BCL, a configuration language not far from HCL. In some aspects simpler than the latter, more advanced in some other aspects (full expression evaluation, very easy binding to Go structs).

Recently reworked said deserialization to Go structs, allowing to handle more data layouts while simplifying the syntax. And having a great co-op with one of the two active users via Github issues.

More to come (functions, cross-reference of data blocks, for example).

Lately, I’ve been exploring a few interconnected ideas: Local-first web applications with a compiled backend – After eight years working on web platforms, the conventional stack feels bloated. The client already defines what it wants to fetch or insert. Usually through queries. So why not parse those queries and generate the backend automatically (or at least, the parts that can be)? Triple stores as a core abstracti…

What hardware are you testing/running your RISC-V OS on ??

I've been building small programs in Zig, C and ARM64 assembly without relying on libc and only using Linux syscalls directly. Some examples: - A minimal C shell with built-ins like cd, pwd, type: https://gist.github.com/rrampage/5046b60ca2d040bcffb49ee38e8... - Terminal Snake game which fits in a QR code using Linux syscalls for drawing: https://gist.github.com/rrampage/2a781662645dc2fcba45784eb58... - HTTP server w…

Kudos! Especially for the asm.

http.S is something I wanted to do by myself, ended up with generating data in asm and reusing Go for a http server.

Still working on Alzo [1], my services startup for french architecture companies. These days I spend most of my time writing client-specific apps [2] that are hot loaded on demand into my Elixir monolith. So far I like this architecture a lot because it is hard to break anything in it.

EmailImprov — A realistic email simulation system designed for testing AI agents and agentic workflows. Generate dynamic, contextual email interactions using distinct personas powered by Ollama LLM integration.

Just got this POC up and running the other day. Realistic sample data for prototyping and testing is frequently a pain point. Even more so for anything having to do with email.

So I wanted something that would pretend to be someone and send and respond to fake emails. And it seems like local LLMs are more than capable of this nowadays. Uses Ollama. Vibe-coded with Claude. UX designer here so be gentle.
