#562I am working on a cohort-based coach application. People register with a commitment and aim to do daily tasks. Meanwhile, they can communicate with an AI for any difficulties or feelings that AI keeps the cohort spirit.
But not sure people will be willing to use it. A commitment is highly generic, maybe I need to narrow as daily exercise or something.

#563Working on fmsg - open protocol for instant messaging, distributed by domain like email.. Its a message definition and protocol, addresses look like @user@domain, anyone can run a host, and threaded messages are linked by cryptographic parent hashes.. The idea is to take the best from email: open protocol, domain ownership, interoperability (unsolicited mail is a feature not a bug), and the best from closed instant m…
What is the unique selling point that it has over Matrix?
Matrix addresses have a similar format, anyone can run a host, open protocol, domain ownership, interop... Threaded messages are supported AFAIK, the details of the crypto will be different but overall it feels like it is close enough that a new protocol will have a hard time having enough advantages to overcome the huge network effect (Matrix being one of the few open messengers that actually have some following already).

#566I've been working on a web based tool to review markdown and HTML collaboratively with your agents. Wrote about it on my blog. No aspirations to make it more widely available just yet. I'm mostly focusing on getting it right for my day-to-day (making it feel light and easy).

#568An image logic puzzle game about nonograms[1] called Nonoverse[2].
I’m automating App Store media creation; both screenshots and app preview videos can now be recorded automatically; this way they should stay up to date and show correct content for a given locale.
I’m also adding translations; if anyone would like to help (with translating or testing new locales) let me know!
Early results are already live in the App Store page.
