I am working on a self-hostable borrow store management system: https://github.com/leihbase/leihbase.

I am running it in my city for a library of things. We hope to help people abstain from buying things they only need once a year.

It includes a reservation system, and an dashboard to manage those reservations in the shop. Currently I'm expanding it with a proper product management interface.

Getting close to my last day at my current job, and I couldn't be more excited to build in public.

When I moved to Thailand last year, the language barrier hit me immediately. So I’m scratching my own itch and building https://thaicopilot.com/, It's designed to help you learn Thai in real situations. Still early, but moving fast.

Finished db compression in special 3D slicer software for a new type of metal printer, and designed a fully parametric large motion-platform.

Also, assembling the PCB for some custom 1U rack hardware. Added a pi5 header to the debug PCB for automated component testing.

Restructuring fabrication options for several hardware components due to trade issues. =3

I have been working on a customizable AI voice dictation tool using Pipecat's framework to swap between many providers and models, including cloud or local.

Started off as an open source alternative to Wispr Flow for myself as I wanted to have more control over the formatting rules as well as model choice but after sharing with friends and presenting it at my local Claude Code meetup, I was encouraged to share it more widely.

The desktop app uses tauri so it is cross-platform compatible and I have tested it working on macOS and windows.

I was thinking about what to get my long-distance girlfriend for her birthday which coincidentally was also the anniversary of our first date. So I thought of building her a personal website, installable via tauri so she can view it offline whenever she wants, that has a timeline of all the things we went through: first date, events, trips, moves etc.

Now I want to polish this, make it customizable, add more features like a "Reasons I love you" jar which gives you random notes your partner wrote, and offer it to others as well.

Another thing, it should be a digital living collection of memories and notes for each other and should evolve with the relationship.

Just started with this and building with Elixir and Phoenix.

PS: I realize I might need to update the website. First I wanted it to be more generic and for multiple occasions like anniversaries, birthdays etc but slimming the target down to couples for now to not overwhelm myself. It's the first ever service I'm building.

Just submitted it to Apple for review this past weekend... basically Scapple's visual text canvas meets Workflowy's hierarchical focusing. I mainly wrote the app for myself to organize my thoughts. Very happy with how it has turned out.

Edit: Would be interested to hear why this was downvoted?
