I made a very basic web app to make our family meal planning a bit easier. We’ve been using it for a few months, so now I’m trying to tidy it up so others can use it too. https://mealplannertool.com/
Spaghetti on tuesday and tacos on friday? Anarchy.
https://shopspec.io/ ShopSpec is a deterministic parametric furniture generator (bookshelves, cabinets, shop carts, leg-and-rail frames, multi-carcass composites) that encodes real woodworking intelligence and outputs shop-ready artifacts. Most recently, introduced the concept of value engineering by sweeping across dimensions to batch evaluate candidates that ranks based on sheet purchases. Also have in beta an MCP…
I am now reading through the excellent OSTEP book and documenting topic-by-topic how a real kernel (Redox) tackles the topic. I have covered struct proc and scheduling till now, the next is memory management! (https://himwant.org/series/ostep--redox/)
I just released a new version with lots of new modeling tools: https://adashape.com/blog/alpha-0-2-0/
As a highlight the lofting tool is pretty fun complement as it allows combining multiple drawings in an intuitive way to define a certain category of complex 3D surfaces without too much effort (https://adashape.com/manual/adashape/en/shp-loft/).
I've been chipping away at manual as well - and found it was a really good idea to write my changelogs in product voice as I can more or less recycle that copy text into the manual verbatim https://adashape.com/manual/adashape/en/

The idea isn't new but I felt enough time had passed that document-first AI tables shouldn't need be gated behind a few big names, a sales meeting or another subscription. Ragextract is really aiming to be the lowest-friction AI utility for everyone's toolkit.
Still in active development and ideal for anyone working with a lot of documents and needs their extraction in organised rows. Particularly interested in feedback from anyone thinking of leaving Airtable this/next year.
This was an interesting thought experiment for me, because I always loved reverse-engineering old games (Half-Life in particular) and restoring the original looks and properties of the code.
In this project I tried to use LLMs extensively to reverse the code for the first time to bring it back to its original potential look. Frankly, it worked and the code is now available to the public.
Much of the challenge has been figuring out how to display information for pilots. The global NOTAM system is broken and works on the basis of legal liability, wherein NOTAMs are published to comply with requirements, and pilots are required to know all relevant information but important things get lost in the noise.
For example, my home airport has a runway closed. It is a single notice, but unless you carefully read 100 notices (many of which are about cranes and unlit objects in the general vicinity) you might not see it. I'm trying to make it such that no information is ever hidden, but with some sort of mechanism to surface more important things.
Background is that my friend group plays video games, grabs beer or whatever - and a lot of the communication revolves around logistics. This app lowered the threshold for initiating. We create a group per activity, and "going green" means you're ready. The other group members get a push notification "Paul is greenlit!" and the title of the group is "Play Dota 2" or "Beer at local pub". Super simple concept, but it actually works.
TLDR; I made an app that let's you press a button instead of writing the typical "Does anyone want to join x activity?"
