Cross-platform book management and reading application: https://github.com/Eoic/Papyrus.

This isn't a serious project by any means, but rather a prototype. Also, I really got carried away using Claude Code, although my initial goal was simply to glue a quick proof-of-concept and see how it could look like.

I'm working on a (somewhat) realistic surfing game. Tired of arcade-style games, I decided to try my hand at something closer to the real sport, focusing on realistic breaking waves, speed generation and carving, rather than impossible air combos. After one year of development, it's going better than I expected, so I'm considering building a demo to gather feedback and see if there's enough traction for working towar…

Hi I'm a big surfer (or have been most of my life but doing less now at 40!) also building a mobile game in Unity/C# right now although it's not surf related like yours it's actually based on Chinese Wuxia cinema from 5 years spent in China. I considered building a surf one and was looking at potentially trying to 'gamify' a slightly different element of the 'surfing' experience which was to focus on predicting/catching and then staying on a wave at a busy break...so top down early GTA style graphics initially waves would come almost breaking in random spots in relation to previoius waves/sets, but never identical, and you'd have to kind of 'guess' ahead of other AI controlled surfers where to place yourself then paddle for position then try to dodge others on the way in....I thought it could be kind of fun in an arcadey way and not require so much of the physics you're describing, which is no doubt really hard to code...I'd love to see your game though!

Still working on my LPFM radio station, www.kpbj.fm. We launched our regular online stream and have secured a site for our transmitter.

The transmit site is in the Verdugo hills and will need to be off grid. We're going to need about $20k to get the entire transmit system setup (including a solar/battery backup system).

I've also been working on our web infrastructure. The site is built with Haskell and HTMX. The stream is Icecast, and stream scheduling is done using an internal schedule system in the web app and LiquidSoap (so no external tools like airtime, libretime, or azuracast).

I love making games, and I’ve been building a no-code game engine by extracting reusable components every time I ship a new game. It started as me scratching my own itch, and now it’s turning into a real platform. Each game adds more building blocks to the editor: multiplayer, event systems, NPC behaviors, pathfinding, etc. I build a system once, and then anyone using the editor can use it in a click. For game logic,…

I'm a web developer and getting very interested in making games but obvuiouly have 0 ideas about it.

Can you recommend any cause to make using Claude Code.

Working on MacOS app that detects an active meeting in one of the commonly used apps and then turns on a LED "presence" light. The purpose to let others know that you are "on air" at this moment.

Current release candidate supports detecting Teams Meeting and Slack Huddle.

Most 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 l…

Can you explain the part why it's not possible to bypass? Could the kids not simply remove the app?

Humetrical ( https://humetrical.com ) -- A wellness platform that puts people's mental health first by showing work metrics that matter. Because burnout blindness leads to exit interviews.

It wasn't until we had a leadership retreat at my day job with a fantastic speaker (Woodrie Burich) that the idea for my platform spawned. She talked about how the $50B wellness industry is doing it wrong. Your company is giving you useless yoga stipends, when truth is they should be paying attention to your overall well being. One idea she presented that resonated with me was using a traffic light-like system to gauge where your employees are mentally at.

I took that to heart and verbally applied it to my team. Then I realized that a platform would give better visuals of the data and be easier to incorporate into everyone's day to day. A couple months later I finally released it.
