Working on The Road to Next [0] as a video course to teach developers about full-stack development. It's in great shape, but I am still waiting for the official release of React 19 and Next 15. Not an easy task though, because some APIs are still changing (e.g. Next APIs becoming async in Next 15).

But in any way, I think it will be a great resource for developers to level up :)

Working on a managed Kubernetes service that allows you to bring your own worker nodes. Spin up a control plane in your region of choice and build a K8s cluster using whatever—VMs, bare metal, or heck, even your Raspberry Pis at home.

A zero install/setup document store for Python: https://github.com/senko/dante

Basically a simple way to CRUD dicts to disk without needing a separate database (uses SQLite underneath). I've always liked MongoDB ease of use, and in many quick hacks/projects I don't want to write custom SQL or bring in a proper ORM or install a db server.

TBH the main motivation is to just work on a simple side project with no stress, no need to productize it, and no need to obsess over productivity / can tinker to my heart's content.

Mostly done now tho, so probably will do something else next month :)

I am busy rebuilding my music studio with only gear from the late 90s/2000. It's much more fun to relive my youth and with patience less expensive than I thought.

Where do you source vintage audio gear from?

ebay and other local sources, but mostly ebay and patience, for the buyer protection.

I’m working on a collaborative reading app called Rdrs. You can upload a ebook, create a reading group, invite others and your reading position, comments and highlights are synced live with the group. You can also read privately, and as its web-based is available on any device. I’m still in active development so there may be bugs or crashes, but I’d be very interested in your feedback. https://www.rdrs.app

This a really cool idea. I've just started a book club with my room mates and we'd be keen to give this a try, especially if we can leave notes/thoughts for one another as we go through

Oh please do, that would be great.

Yes, you can leave comments on text and I've just implemented comment replies, so you can have conversations on the comments. You can upload your own books as long as they're DRM-free epubs.

Please be aware it's still very buggy so bits may break. If you do decide to try it, I'd appreciate any bug reports or feature ideas you may have.

I'm working on https://nuenki.app/ , a language learning tool. It teaches you a language while you procrastinate by inserting translations of appropriate-difficulty sentences into webpages as you browse HN etc. Currently trying to reduce costs by switching from using DeepL (high quality, low latency, high cost) everywhere to a hybrid that also uses Claude (high quality, high latency, low cost) for text that is far fr…

Very clever.

Toucan [1] does something similar (but I think only at a word level, not sentences), so might be worth looking at what they do in terms of marketing.

Also, have you considered throwing in a spaced repetition component to the process? Really helpful when building an active voc.

I'm working on an automated trading bot for crypto currencies in Clojure.

It's running two different strategies, and basically break-even (slightly positive), though it should have annualized sharpe ratios of >= 1.

Parameter space has 48 values, no machine-learning, a single-threaded backtest is < 5s on my old laptop.

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

Thanks! Github has been a source of inspiration, I want to keep the UI as noiseless as possible, unlike most recipes websites

I'm working on MindPal - A platform to build AI Agents and Multi-agent workflow to automate tasks for business.

It will just need a minute to build a multi-agent workflow on MindPal. If you are having complicated AI processes that could not be done by ChatGPT, give it a go at https://mindpal.space/
