I replaced MyFitnessPal: https://macros.jlcarveth.dev
Uses vision models to allow for automatic scanning of nutrition tables. Supports UPCs. Still thinking of a good name.
I also made an RPG game via a discord bot: https://questforge.ca

A hobby project I started putting together late last year; a little spot on the internet for prayer and reflection.

A pro bono tech consultancy for local non profits. The idea is to help them use tech to better deliver on their mission.
Just today I finished off building a little PWA to help a couple of non-profits offload the admin of volunteer scheduling (mostly done through whatsapp, messenger, etc).
I'd recommend others try the same pro bono consulting in their local area, it's quite rewarding!

#633https://beyondwp.io
After around 15 years working with clients and helping them wrangle their WordPress sites, I stopped working with WordPress as a primary platform for building sites.
A while back I've switched to a more modern stack and have fully abandoned WordPress.
Having that background, however, I've come to know (way too well) many of the frustrations and security problems with the WordPress ecosystem. As a result, I started a service to help business owners break free from WordPress on to a more modern Next.js-powered stack that's faster, lighter weight, and easier for them to manage.
Brand new but should be fun!

#634Couple of scratch-my-itch apps.
1. Plimsoll Line for dealing with anxieties from mountains of Reminder items, by surfacing the stress factors and taking small actions such as quick journalling and a breathing exercise. The new version with Widget should be released within the next week or two. Version 1 is currently in the iOS App Store. (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/calm-to-do-list-tasks-plimsoll... Calm To Do List&Tasks-Plimsoll). Made it to help my wife (and me!) not get so overwhelmed with things she has yet to do but hasn't started. Also to make it easy to write down things weighing heavy on her mind to alleviate the vicious cycle of emotional decay.
2. Yet-unnamed and -unreleased weather app for planning outdoor activities at times of the day when the weather will be most favorable (or least bad). Made it so that I can plan when to go out to the back yard to bring in more fire wood for the stove in my house. The weather has been tough this winter in the Northeastern US so it finally made me work on the app.

#635Building an AI debugger for embedded systems.
You know that feeling when your microcontroller crashes and you spend 3 hours staring at cryptic registers trying to figure out why? Yeah, I got tired of that.
So I built an MCP server that lets Claude talk directly to GDB. Now instead of manually decoding CFSR registers, I just ask "why did it crash?" and get back "division by zero at line 142 in calculate_average()".
It's pretty satisfying to watch Claude diagnose a deadlock between two RP2040 cores in 10 seconds - something that would've ruined my entire afternoon.
Just shipped v0.1.0: https://github.com/ezulabs/embeddedgdbmcp

#637Most parents I've met understand the internet can be a dangerous place for children but aren't sure what to do about it. Some avoid it altogether, but most give up and resign themselves to whatever happens.
What I wanted most was just to have some visibility into what my kids were experiencing, so I built LivingRoom App for iPhone and iPad. It sends occasional screenshots to parents. My hope is that when we shine a light on the online world, we will be free to use the internet as a tool for learning, creativity and connection. https://livingroomapp.com/

#638(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 with…
if you're experimenting with hrv/biofeedback then you might find Aidlab 2 interesting, it gives RR + GSR in one wearable (fyi I am the author)

That's going to be used for recording women in public.
