I’m trying to start a few projects. (Email in profile if you want to discuss or team up)

Playing with toy LLM models to see if there’s a way to identify gaps in knowledge and guide training.

Thinking to do a kaggle challenge soon. (Is there a way to join a team?)

Maybe do a chose-your-own-adventure style interactive story to teach python to beginners.

We are working on https://aide.dev/ an editor forked from VSCode which allows you to utilize LLMs to speed up coding. Our approach is a bit different since unlike making a better copilot or a chat experience we are building workflows which encourage engineers to work alongside AI and not just offload tasks to AI.

Is there some technical limitation that forced you to make Aide as a fork, rather than a VSCode extension?

I'm tinkering away on a turn-based web game that will ideally mix Counter-Strike with something like Door Kickers / Frozen Synapse etc.

Ideally a way to let people lay out strategies and see them executed by a team, go on - prove you're the best IGL!

It's slow going between a full time job and family life but really great to expand my mind into something that isn't "web dev".

I am working alone on https://tree-of-knowledge.org This is a hierarchical representation of any given piece of knowledge. It starts with a tree root node that you specify (let's say Kung fu), then it branches out into multiples subcategories (techniques, styles, philosophy, weaponry, ect...) and then you can click on these subcategories to branch out even more into the graphical tree. This is all generated on-the-fl…

Hi I've been working on something similar but using podcasts as a starting point for concepts. I wonder if we might collaborate? Link in bio, anon!

I made a personal, self-hostable read-it-later service that fits my needs. Just for fun I gave myself the constraint that I couldn’t use any JS, so it’s all done with static html templates in Django. It also archives all articles so you never have to worry about link rot. https://github.com/brendanv/lynx

And now, because I have a problem, I’ve completely pivoted and I’m rewriting it from scratch as a SPA because I wanted to try using Pocketbase for the backend and extend it so I could learn Go. https://github.com/brendanv/lynx-v2

I've been working on a pretty basic who's that pokemon game for a little while. There's quite a few online but none quite scratched the itch for me.

Still got a big list of improvements to make but I'm quite happy with how it's coming together.

I'm working on a metadata catalog aimed towards scientific data. After standing up an enterprise data platform/lakehouse for science and laboratories, I've been really depressed by the current offerings and the massive oversight they have when dealing with scientific data. So I thought I'd change that. We're targeting not only the right kinds of data, but also connectors/integrations that reflect where most science data lives at these labs.

I'm working on FreeInChicago, a site for finding all the free activities to do in the city. I love Chicago and the incredible wealth of free festivals, museums, public art, music, parks, workshops, and so many more activities available to appreciate. I've found there isn't a good way to discover them though so I'm building the tool that I've always wanted. Right now I have a landing page up, have done some work on so…

Nifty! I worked very briefly about 12 years ago on a similar concept that was live at chicago.com. Things didn’t work out with it for various reasons but while it was up I found it quite useful. Some of the original team is still in Chigaco and building stuff. Best of luck shipping it!

I am building my very first computer game, Tungsten Moon, a VR+desktop spaceflight simulator with realistic physics and engineering, inspired by Orbiter, Eagle Lander 3D, and a little bit of Subnautica: https://tungstenmoon.com/

I am using the Godot engine: https://godotengine.org/

The playable demo is already available today on Github: https://github.com/Eccentric-Anomalies/Tungsten-Moon-Demo-Re...

We're releasing the demo on Steam for the first time in a few days, followed by an early access version probably in October: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3104900/Tungsten_Moon/

Still working on https://exist.io, a platform for quantifying and tracking data about your life. We've been around for about a decade now and seen many competitors come and go — this niche is definitely not at the peak of the hype cycle any more. On the other hand, Apple Watches have normalised tracking body stats like activity (and sleep to a degree), and yet we think there's still so much more that can be done with that data. We're still (always) working on improving our insights and correlations to find better ways to use the data to optimise your health, mood, productivity, and so on. But not with "AI" :)
