trueflow - a code review TUI that semantically chunks code changes into reviewable “blocks”, and assembles them into a Merkle tree, so you can have an overlay of reviews of different semantic blocks of your codebase, and feedback the reviews back into agents. Similar UX vibe to magit, with a focus-mode style UX that brings semantic blocks into focus, with single-keystroke actions such as [a]ccept [c]omment [x]reject etc.

Still WIP. Feedback welcome.

I’m building Historic, a private AI video journal for founders. You record short morning, evening, or ad hoc sessions, and it transcribes and indexes them into a searchable archive of your thinking. It uses simple Apple Fitness–style rings to encourage consistency, plus monthly insight reports and suggested “build in public” posts. I built it because notes apps weren’t capturing my thinking in full fidelity. Using Re…

I’m using Whisper Memos (https://whispermemos.com) for this exact use case - is this meant to be a more tailored version specifically for founders?

In my evenings and weekends I've been working on a photo sharing app for families who want to keep their photos off of social media but still share with family.

I'm expecting my first child soon so I am building it for me and my family first but if it solves a problem for me, maybe others will like it!

The basic idea is that you are uploading a curated set of photos you want to share, not your whole camera roll.

You can create one or several family groups that you can share individual photos or albums to. Members of those family groups can view, comment on, like, etc those photos.

You can also generate sharable links for people who don't have an account with a configurable expiry time.

It currently more or less works on the web but I am also working on iOS and Android apps since that is how my extended family would want to interact with it.

I'm not quite ready to launch it to the public but if anybody is interested in trying it out or offering feedback I can privately share it :)

Working on Whisperit v3: a document automation platform for lawyers, voice-first. The idea: lawyers spend 60%+ of their time writing documents. We give them an AI assistant that actually understands legal context — case files, templates, emails, the full picture. What we've been shipping lately on the v3 branch: • Workflow engine — visual editor + execution pipeline for legal document workflows (think: intake → draft…

What did you use to record the video on the home page, if you don't mind me asking? I need to do something similar. One tip I've seen is to record at a higher resolution than you need, then scale down. The demo is good, but looks a little grainy at points, FYI.

A healthcare integration engine for companies who don't want to build their own or don't want to use Mirth connect. Brings together some of the nicer features we have had in the SWE world (writing code and using a CLI vs clicking in a UI, version control, IaC, spin up/tear down envs easily, CI/CD, telemetry). It is written in Go.

Nice. I store my photos on Dropbox and now duplicated locally on a home NAS. They don't have a photograph based product like Google memories, which I really like. I've been de googling and looking to reproduce it.

I've been noodling with running a preprocessing step to "tag" pictures and videos with a set of tags with richer spatial and temporal features with off the shelf models and then just let a local AI model pick one based one what might match today's theme.

Are you using any models to make your curation step easier/better UX wise? e.g." Compose all Christmas pictures with Grandma and the kids on vacation" and it would give you a collection to curate from my library

(1) I've somewhat stumbled on a persona as a Fox-photographer who strongly communicates that he is a public affordance which (a) helps me get better photos of people, (b) gets me flagged down by people telling me about interesting things going on like

https://mastodon.social/@UP8/116021033821248982

and (c) results in handing out several business cards a day

https://mastodon.social/@UP8/115901190470904729

and I'm within sight of having to reorder cards. I just finished a landing page for the cards (before they went to one of my socials)

https://gen5.info/demo/fox/

but having to reorder the cards I am planning on making a next generation card which has a unique chibi and unique QR code that will let me personalize the landing page for cards, particularly I will be able to share a photo just with the person who has the card.

============

(2) I've been doing heart rate variability biofeedback experiments and I have this demo

https://gen5.info/demo/biofeedback/

which is still not quite done but has source code at

https://github.com/paulhoule/VulpesVision

It works with most heart rate monitors that support the standard BTLE API not just the H10. I run it on the Windows desktop with Chrome and with Bluefy on iPad. Once it displays the instantaneous heart rate I can control

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayer_waves

by following the slope of the instantaneous heart rate, breathing out when it is slowing down and breathing in when it is speeding up. This greatly intensifies the Mayer_wave and increases the SD1 metric. I think this drops my blood pressure significantly when I'm doing it. This needs better instructions and some kind of auditory cue so I can entrain my breathing when I am looking at something else. Longer term I am interested in incorporating some other biofeedback gadgets I have like a respiration monitor (got an abdomen band and a radar which could probably even read HRV if I had the right software for it) and a GSR sensor, and EMG sensor, etc.

Semi-academic attempt to build semantic-level standard system for data type classification. Useful for metadata semantics data lakes / warehouses beyond basic physical level like text/number, with assumption that it may be useful for AI-targeted metadata, your text to sql cases. https://github.com/jaakla/semantic-field-types
