I made a CLI tool that securely stores and injects your AI API keys into scripts, so you never have to worry about .env leaks. Have a look at https://llmvlt.dev

#732I wanted to use worktree's the same way that cursor/windsurf/jetbrains air etc. do, i.e. but in intellij idea using claude code. It's a bit rudimentary and I wouldn't release it on the marketplace but I made a really good plugin that allows me to work on multiple tasks at once using worktree's and has all the great functionality intellij has.

#734here are a few i have put time and effort into. these are not “vibe coded”, but an agent was utilized at points to save copious amounts of time implementing my architectural decisions; my schedule is pretty slammed as is. https://mithraeum.studio - local first agent and editor in C, also a few models on HF (mainly jsut qwen wrapped atm but working on from scratch) https://fieldopt.dev - SaaS for dispatching jobs to t…
>> an agent was utilized at points to save copious amounts of time So ……. vibe coded.
Not all LLM-assisted coding is vibe coding, even with an agent.

#735https://github.com/amedeedaboville/mish
A mosh clone that uses QUIC as the transport layer so it can do both “unreliable datagrams” like UDP and also a TCP-like reliable stream, so it has scrollback buffer.
Also QUIC means the crypto is handled for me, no need to trust the LLM to hand roll its own crypto.
Cool Rust libraries enable this like alacritty for the terminal, and being able to have russh (rust implementation of ssh) means it works even if ssh isn’t installed (eg on windows which og mosh never supported).
Claude tested this thing forwards and backwards: e2e tests, simulated (foundationDB like) tests for the network and for tokio async thread ordering, 12 different fuzzing targets, even some light model checking on the protocol itself. Each fuzzing round found bugs.
Except for a few “it may have bugs, I have only proven it correct” scenarios I’d say it’s looking like it’ll be as trustworthy as (maybe more than?) the original. I’m really happy with it.

#736Two that I use pretty frequently:
1. https://shopmath.app - I got tired of converting decimal to fraction for woodworking/renovations, and I wanted to round calculations to the nearest 16th, so I prompted this.
2. https://youtubetimestamps.app/ - I use davinci resolve and wanted an easy way to convert my EDL markers into timestamps for youtube.

#737Not too much, speaking of public one which you can try: - https://habitpocket.io/ - habit tracker which allow to track not only habits (done, not done) but also numbers and time of the day on one grid. Also I built an iOS app but it's in Apple Review right now so it should be ready in the week. - https://taskpocket.io/ - todo list, my own interpretation of proper todo list. Right now it's completely free. I would lik…
Love it!

#738Earlier quoted context omitted.
Check out Krasis https://github.com/brontoguana/krasis It enables something similar to unified memory. Ive got a 5060 (16GB) card and 96 GB ddr5. I can run qwen3.5-122b int4 at 25tok/sec.And now even does image ingestion! Ive been bulk transliterating and translating foreign language books into english. And all completely local.
Wait so this makes it so I can use my DDR5 as well as my VRAM combined? This is actually sick if so. Maybe I will actually have to go out and buy some more DDR5 (currently only have 32GB...)
Yep, thats it what it does. Only works with nvidia.
The difference it does use safetensors, and not gguf's. But it does dynamically requant to int4 8 or bf16.

> It probably should message YOU rather than the person who's birthday it is, so you can send something personal. We already have that. It’s called a calendar app.
In Germany Google stopped syncing contacts with the calendar due to data privacy concerns...
That seems to be only a Google thing and they haven’t mentioned which law they think is forcing them to do this, co just using different contact/calendar apps should do the trick.

#740- parametric 2d vector based CAD with CAM https://rapidcam.mycnc.app - gcode sender and generator https://mycnc.app - CNC simulator https://sim.mycnc.app - Cabinet design with door/drawer designer https://cabinet.mycnc.app
This is really impressive work. Both RapidCam and the Cabinet Design Studio seem fairly polished already. I'd love to learn more about the process behind these creations.
