https://mytinycafe.com/ An PWA primarily for my wife and my daughter. They can order their hot chocolate and their coffee as if they were going to grab something at a fancy café downtown, but instead it's at home and I'm the barista. It is quite nice to have for when my wife comes back from work and want something specific, or when we are waiting for the visit of a few friend, they can order exactly the available bev…

This is adorable. Nice work!

a trio of short motion pictures that i've written, directed, produced, shot and edited, and will launch on my website late next month, followed by a european tour of free screenings with my pop-up, makeshift cinema. an experiment to see if i can become fully-funded by tips/donations from the audience.

sign up for the mailing list in footer of my site if that sounds of interest:

I am working on Correctify's Design Studio, a feature that turns plain restaurant menu text into menu designs based on your choosen size, style and branding.

What makes it different from alternatives is that it’s content-first. Instead of dragging boxes around or fighting templates that don’t fit your menu, Design Studio designs around your text. For restaurant owners, that means significantly lower waiting times and costs.

Design Studio is still in private beta, but excited about where it’s going

I'm working on finishing my JS KV compatibility library polystore [0], the goal is to make a widely compatible library to connect to many stores so that you can have a wide range of stores easily accesible.

For example, you make an API client library, now you can add polystore and accept multiple cache stores without writing all the compat layer yourself. This is a problem I've had multiple times in the past.

Or you make a project with cache, having it in files for local dev (highly debuggable) and then with Redis in prod is a simple ENV var change:

    let store;
    if (process.env.REDIS_URL) {
      store = kv(RedisClient(process.env.REDIS_URL).connect());
    } else {
      store = kv(`file://${process.cwd()}/cache/`);
    } 
I've made many other libraries and projects during the years and having a single library handle all of this would be great.

Working on https://usedigest.com — a personalized daily digest.

It aggregates data from across the web into a single feed, pulling in news, weather, newsletters, social posts, Reddit, YouTube, and more.

I also finally launched my first iOS app that goes a step further. During onboarding, you set your preferences once. From there, AI automatically prepares your daily digest for you. Each morning, you get a notification when it’s ready, with everything relevant for the day ahead: meetings, weather, health data, commute insights, and the news you actually care about.

I did (with the help of GPT) a simple script to deploy my Django+Celery projects to DigitalOcean. I was a bit afraid of that in the past, but now it's just a script that, after configuring a few variables (IP, etc), runs smoothly and gives me a perfectly deploy for a side project on a DO droplet. And also I can run again to just deploy a new version.

For most people this is silly but I am super happy that it works.

Swipedia – Tinder for Wikipedia rabbit holes

I built a PWA that feeds you random, high-engagement Wikipedia topics (like the Great Emu War or the Demon Core) in a swipeable deck. Swipe right to save, swipe up to read "trivia snacks" instead of the full article. The idea was to have an antidote to doom scrolling.

The project started at a "vibe-coding-hackathon" and is now starting to become my main side project.

Curious for feedback :)

Some recent tools, finished/improved this year:

- db2qthelp — a DocBook book to QtHelp project converter (https://github.com/dkrajzew/db2qthelp)

- grebakker: a private backup tool (https://github.com/dkrajzew/grebakker)

- gresiblos: a tiny static site builder (https://github.com/dkrajzew/gresiblos)

Currently, I work on a Desktop GLSL shader editor. Looks fine so far...
