I am still working on a Linux dockbar for X11 and Wayland, it has all the goods of dockbars I have been using throughout the decades now, 60+ applets baked in, fairly good customization, etc * https://docking.cc/ * https://github.com/edumucelli/docking

I'm building a web-based game where players guess a footballer's name based on the list of teams he's played for. The project currently focuses on Italian Serie A

I'm working on the backend your AI doesn't have to build https://saasufy.com/

For vibe coders.

With a focus on:

- Security

- Analytics

- Advanced data sharing scenarios

- Realtime updates

Claude can be given full access to your control panel and can impersonate any role to exhaustively test all your data models and views. So even a fool can exhaustively prove the security of their application for all data in their system.

Working on a web-reader tool of the kinda you might hook into an LLM as a MCP. Wanted to see how far I can get on my own rather than using something commercial.

Surprised how difficult it is to get anything usable. The web really has turned hostile - anything not on a residential IP gets blocked by like 50% of the sites no questions asked

I guess they're all responding to mass scraping

Still making fellow founders' lives easier when it comes to SOC2/ISO27001. AuditBadger (https://auditbadger.com) is a compliance management platform where AI drafts policies, controls, risks, business continuity plans, and so on. Humans are always in the loop; everything needs to be signed off (I don't believe in either of "we do compliance for you" or "AI can do compliance for you" approaches). Currently working on revamping our asset management features to fully and perfectly support NIS2.
