I am working on automated irrigation and fertigation system where remotely we can turn on of the solenoid valve to drip/flood irrigate crops in India. I am using LORA protocol for communication medium between different sensor and main unit. I am still researching on this. I am commenting as I will add more when I develop the prototype

A few things:

- https://www.ironvolume.com/ for generating crossfit, hyrox and athx workouts and warm ups, with a few posts on topics I've found really helpful to train around.

- https://pokerchallenges.com/ for practicing the maths behind different aspects of playing texas hold'em poker, trialling it at the moment so can give anyone a free membership if they want to get to grips with it

- https://typst.app/universe/package/calendaring/ a typst calendar grid generation package

- https://github.com/TAJD/cofferdam a tool to help with implementing code architecture compile time checks, helps give agents relevant context on how well their code fits in with the wider codebase without them having to read it all

I'm working on a Chrome extension for X that adds language learning features: https://uselangbot.com. I think it's a bit too niche for it to become a viable business, but let's see... usage is growing the more I talk about it.

Fun fact: I coded it by hand (because I enjoy doing that), which I think in 2026, puts me into the psychopath group according to most.

I've always wanted a writing app built around experimentation, where you could write multiple takes on a paragraph then swap them in and out to see how each sounds in context. That, and I wanted a writing app that treated both Markdown and Rich Text as first class citizens, with side-by-side documents for notes alongside a draft, full keyboard control, and more.

And so I built it: https://reproof.app/

It's taken forever (never reinvent the text editor, they say, and they're right) but it's finally at the point where a handful of us are using it for daily writing, and it's just about ready to launch.

Mourning the Fable 5 shutdown, I hacked together https://ismodelavailable.com/fable The long-term plan is a sort of JustWatch for LLMs - which models are live, where, on what terms. Right now it's just a toy.

Slightly neglected but still chipping away at https://dataello.com — a cheaper alternative to Flourish for building interactive charts.

And the more serious stuff: - a domain-agnostic engine for generating predictive models - papers on disinformation, and on approaches to analyzing survey data
