I'm working on https://reciperium.com I've added a tutorial on https://learn.reciperium.com and a playground https://play.reciperium.com and I have around 4 active users (including myself, the most active and the target for this platform haha). In a nutshell, reciperium is the center of all my recipes, I was tired of finding recipes on different channels (youtube, reddit, instagram, google, friends, etc), and not hav…

This is really cool! And having recipes on this GitHub style gives a familiar touch

I've mostly been focusing on school right now, but my website https://eleboog.com has needed some more content for, uh, months lmao. So I'll probably try to make some new posts for it. Some topic ideas include Geminispace & cool ways people have made web apps with Gemini & related protocols, my tiny prose journal and how it's helped me with my mental health, and (of course) the random features I've added to my site over the past half-year and how I feel about them right now.

I know it ain't as exciting as y'all with your startups and open source softwares but I'm just a shmuck stuck in a CS degree that is guaranteed to leave me flipping burgers for a few years until the industry realizes hiring people is actually a good thing... I'm taking things as I go to build out my portfolio and hopefully work towards making my own open source apps that can hopefully land me a gig or two in the future.

I got so upset with Docusign being too expensive and unfair, that I quit my last startup to build a new one. I built a complete platform over the past 3 years, that doesn't require a subscription and you only pay for what you send. Give it a go if you need to send a document that needs to be signed. https://goodsign.io

I have been looking for something like this, but the pricing is too high for my use case. It needs to be comparable to just printing the document and signing with pens, or it's not generally worth it to me. It seems wild to me that something that in principal could be basically free costs so much.

For the curious, the price is $1.50/envelope, which seems very reasonable (I'm not affiliated). [0]

> It needs to be comparable to just printing the document and signing with pens

When you factor in the price of buying a printer, and move the printed doc around for multiple persons to sign, it is comparable if not cheaper.

Rebuilding a prompt Capture the Flag opensource project. Built v1 a year ago and ran it a company event and local conference. Had good feedback, now rebuilding without auth, seperate flag submission, chat memory, function calling and multi-modal support. gpt-4-0-mini is dirt cheap so can do a lot.

Any ideas around challenges welcome!

woodworking :)

I just finished (yesterday) a custom shelf for my daughter -> https://imgur.com/a/7zGHOOG

It took me 6w VS the 2w initially planned, but the result is worth it!

With so many hours spent on my screen doing virtual stuff, touching the materials and seeing my progress materialized is very satisfying.

I'm currently trying to create a lua-to-js transpiler using treesitter. Not sure how hard this is, but I suppose it's just a matter of traversing trees. I might need to use this transpiler later on my static site generator using a lua DSL.

I'm also planning on making changes to improve my text reader. The purpose of the project is to help me alleviate my discomfort when reading long blocks of text over an extended period of time.

my wife and I have a new side project: we're opening a bookshop! the last local store is closing due to retirement and we figure the community demand is still there. we're negotiating the lease, sorting out how to order a lot of bookshelves, and source the initial inventory. i'm currently figuring out how to connect our point of sale system to our accounting software. good times. :)

That's lovely. I'm still in university, but one thing I've wanted to do since I was a kid is to have a small bookshop or library later in life. Thanks for showing me it can be done!

Currently, I'm trying to get some funding for Ewigkeit, an deployment service for DApps that uses Arweave for hosting and AO for management of deployments, domains, and team members.

The USPs are:

- pay once, host forever

- censorship resistance via globally decentralised gateways

The app:

I’m solidly reinventing the wheel by building my own cut-down version of Ghost, cut with a minimal platform such as Blot, Bear, Mataroa, etc; using classless HTML as the source (rather than mobiledoc). Aim is for a static-site development/writing experience but with a dynamic app to allow for email subscriptions, payments, etc. Not building it as a business, just to meet my own needs.

If you want to see what others are doing I'm slowly collecting all the blog platforms available here: https://manuelmoreale.com/blog-platforms

Good luck with the project!
