A multi-agent TUI that uses opencode and tmux to help me solve the frustrating LLM slot machine problem. I find that running 3 agents in parallel on even tough problems is enough to have one that builds what I want.

It’s also been a fun challenge to build a tool that can be used to improve itself

We’re building Ward, a security browser extension that uses Gemini Nano, an on-device LLM, to scan for phishing, scams, and other threats from the DOM.

Think of an antivirus for everyday web users, like young children, older adults, and less savvy individuals.

We recently participated in the Google Chrome Built-in AI Challenge 2025 and have submitted to the Chrome Web Store.

We’re looking to meet people who may know someone Ward is good for and would want to provide feedback. Alternatively, we’d love to chat with any IT Managers/Directors of Security/Google Apps Admins who would be interested in piloting us as an anti-phishing enterprise solution.

We have been building https://finbodhi.com/ a local-first browser app (PWA) for personal finance, based on double-entry accounting. FinBodhi uses double entry so complicated set of transactions and accounts can be modeled (which happen often enough in users financial journey). We wrote about double-entry here: https://finbodhi.com/docs/understanding-double-entry We do use online services like firebase for auth, and s…

I'm seeing a lot more Firebase spoof spam emails recently in general, keep that in mind as a service if you rely on it for outbound comms

This month I wrote a small Windows utility to keep a PC "always awake": prevents the PC from going to sleep (using a Windows API that exists just for that) and simulates invisible mouse movements every 60 seconds to keep apps like MS Teams happy, so that the user always appears active.

There is a PowerToy thingy that's similar but it's full of options and command-line flags. My version has no options, it's just a tray utility that can be toggled on (green) or off (orange) with double-click. There are also physical mouse jigglers but they're cumbersome, and many have visible mouse movements, which is extremely annoying (not all of them do this but many do!)

The full install file is just 100Kb, works on all versions of Windows starting with Win7, installs without admin rights. Can't live without it!

I need to make a website for it but I'm procrastinating on that one last step...

A structural biology viewer/editor/CAD-style application. Combines functionality similar to PyMol, Coot, VMD, and GROMACs. Open-source, standalone executable. Built in Rust and CUDA.

And the host of bio libs required to do it. The sort of thing that are mature in Python, for example, but I needed to build for Rust.
