It's called Bloom. A really pretty way to shape a visual aesthetic with a client. Our users (& founders) are in things like fashion photography and video production.

#602I have been working on a Monte Carlo financial planning / retirement scenario simulation with a TUI interface. All written in rust. The simulation engine has been solid for a while and the TUI is finally starting to expose all of the options needed to really configure a complete simulation. https://github.com/jgrazian/finplan
Nice looking TUI!

#603Working on a RoadTrip Planning app with focus on EV Campers. Bought one myself so it is primarily focused on my own use cases :D

#604I'm a solo dev building a handful of apps across different niches.. - Kvile ( https://kvile.app ) — A lightweight desktop HTTP client built with Rust + Tauri. Native .http file support (JetBrains/VS Code/Kulala compatible), Monaco editor, JS pre/post scripts, SQLite-backed history. Sub-second startup. MIT licensed, no cloud, your requests stay on your machine. Think Postman without the bloat and login walls. - Mockin…
Really neat! Also as a Linux user, I deeply appreciate the linux support :-)
A few questions and comments:
| Kvile |
- Awesome, really happy to see a reasonable take on this (open source, offline-first, no telemetry, no acount, etc). Do you think at some point you'll try to monetize it in some way?
- Looks like build assets didn't get attached for the latest release (v0.2.1) in Github: https://github.com/tskulbru/kvile/releases/tag/kvile-v0.2.1
| Mockingjay |
- Awesome, definitely a valuable project. I'll be sharing this with some friends who could really use this.
| Stao |
- The website says it's open source, but I couldn't find a link to the source repo. I looked at your github repos and didn't see it in there either.
- Great idea! I'm so bad about forgetting to stand so something like this could be super useful.

#605I've been working with my wife on Uruky [1] for a couple of months, now. It's a EU-based Kagi [2] alternative (privacy-focused and ad-free search with domain boosting/exclusion rules). We've been using it with friends and family semi-successfully (hashbangs work for edge cases we're still working on). It's really difficult to get bigger indexes other than Mojeek and Marginalia to want to work with us and improve the…
Eventual source code access is an interesting idea.
What language is Uruky implemented in?

#606I'm building a tiny experimental message board / ...game? called Isles (https://isles.app/about). The short pitch is that when you sign up you're randomly assigned to a small island, and you can only interact with people on that island. Randomly, islands link up and you can migrate/explore the other island. I wanted to play with ideas of cultural exchange on a really small scale. I don't have any regular users yet, but if any of that is interesting to you, you should sign up if only to say hi.
Tech I'm using: Sprites, Cloudflare Workers, SQLite, Litestream, React SSR

#607For almost 1 year now, we've been building on a next gen event-driven internal developer platform, an an opinionated selfhosted platform "shoehorn.dev" - deploy with ease within 15 min (docker compose or helmcharts). You could say its a modern backstage. But its way smarter in many ways. Kubernetes native, API first, microservice golang backend architecture. You will be able to configure the platform via our terraform provider too. Deploy our kubernetes-push-agent in your cluster, push kinds and auto creates entities into the API in batches, get podEvents etc. Modular frontend written in svelte, decide what you want to show. We're supporting oidc + orgdata sync for okta, zitadel, entraID. rbac management. Instant search using meillisearch. Auto create orgchart depending on how your teams / deparments are nested. Visualize dependencies "relations" using svelteflow. View entity compliance. Full github integration. widget/integration community etc.
Would love feedback!
https://demo.shoehorn.dev will be deployed soon and full release "beta" will be released in march.

Cool idea, man. Never heard of the Kokoro model, how's its English performance?
