I can't keep up with how fast things are changing. I built this to scan my AI dev sessions chats, search various places I frequent, and recommend tooling, libraries and all kinds of other things I might want to incorporate into my development practices.

I built a local-first tool for turning research material into a maintained markdown wiki.

The idea is simple: instead of repeatedly querying raw notes or documents, sources get ingested into a structured wiki with source pages, concept pages, entity pages, and synthesis pages. Then questions are asked against that wiki, and useful answers get written back as new pages.

Everything stays file-based and Obsidian-friendly. There’s also a local dashboard and a macOS menubar app so it can keep running in the background.

I was trying to build something that feels more cumulative than chat, but much lighter than setting up a full RAG stack.

The original inspiration was Andrej Karpathy’s “LLM Wiki” idea. I also took some UI/product inspiration from wiki-os.

Curious if other people here have found wiki-first or markdown-first workflows more useful than pure retrieval for personal research and project memory.

I built ReceiptBin because I wanted a simple way to track receipts and link them to my budgeting app. There are plenty of apps that already do this, but most of them feel out of place on iOS and lock basic features like OCR and autofill behind paywalls. ReceiptBin uses Apple’s VisionKit and Foundation Models to handle OCR and autofill at no cost. Everything syncs through iCloud, and you can generate reports entirely on-device. There’s also support for widgets and Siri Shortcuts.

I’m planning to push another update in the next few weeks with bug fixes and some new functionality.

https://muffinman-io.itch.io/spacedeck-x I'm still obsessed with making my game, which you can try it at the link above (it is desktop only). This is my first "real" game, and it has been incredibly fun and rewarding. I've been working on it in the evenings for about 4 or 5 months. It is a very ambitious mix of genres - shoot-em-up and deck-building. A lot of people said that those are genres that shouldn't be combin…

This is great!

Did you do the graphics, too? I've always want to write my own game but doing the game graphics is just not my thing.
