I finally, after a couple of years off, picked up work on a Standard Ebooks[1] edition of The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night. I made a new years’ promise to myself to get it as done as possible by the end of the year. If it doesn’t happen I’m not going to be too hard on myself though, given the 5K endnotes and 1.5M overall word count. But we’ll see!

https://mealplannr.io The end game is no/low touch weekly meal plans send directly to your inbox, with meals you love to cook but with none of the hassle around planning the meals, shopping list etc (which I spend hours doing every week).

An important feature for me was improving the recipe discovery experience, you can build a cookbook from chefs you follow on socials (youtube for now), or import from any source (Web, or take pic of cookbook etc) - it then has tight / easy integration into recipe lists.

Utilising GenAI to auto extract recipes, manage conversions, merge/categorise shopping lists etc - as-well as the actual recommendations engine.

If anyone is interested in beta testing / wants to have a chat I'll look out for replies, or message mealplannr@tomyeoman.dev

Very small app for framing photos on Mac/ipad/iphone. I know some web alternatives. But when i wanted to add borders to photos I took to upload to IG i used imagemagick. I want to make something stylish(no tacky borderds), also usable for batch processing. I have prorotype and need to fix some issues.

Completely automating the difficult problem of json parsing and normalization in cloud data warehouses. https://forge.foxtrotcommunications.net/

Today engineers spend dozens of hours agonizing over how to unlock the vast analytical possibilities of JSON data in their warehouse. The internet is littered with half solutions and broken promises. Today, we have solved this problem.

An immobiliser for my car. Had trouble finding devices that would cover the specific attack vectors my car would be susceptible to. Checked my insurance, no specific clauses around immobilisers, check relevant road laws, no issues there. I have a fairly novel approach to operating it, and in the case of one time theft prevention security through obscurity is actually a great approach. The assailant only has a short t…

That's a really cool idea. When I was a kid my dad added an immobiliser to our car (flashing LED etc) with a hidden switch. It would have potentially taken quite some time to find if you didn't know where it was.

Adding a puzzle is brilliant and I would love to read a blog about this. Post it here on HN ;)

A macOS screen recording CLI application that can record: screen, mic(s), camera(s), system audio, iPhone/iPad screen. You can select different tracks with their own options (video encoding, audio encoding, filename, combine camera with mic for example or even screen + system audio + mic). It also tracks clicks, scroll, keyboard and generates closed captions automatically at the end. Now I'm working on adding 1-2 more features and an MVP is done.
