I’m working on Hypership (https://hypership.dev) – a platform that lets you deploy full-stack React and Next.js apps with auth, user management, events, and analytics in minutes. We’ve built first-class support for Next.js, handling SSR, static exports, and edge deployments seamlessly.

We’re also building our own CDN to optimise asset delivery and improve performance across deployments. But beyond infra, we’re betting on something bigger: developers want everything they need to ship an app in one place—not just UI kits, but fully hooked-up components that handle state, auth flows, and analytics automatically.

That means forms, a help desk, user management, and more—all tightly integrated so you can focus on building rather than stitching services together.

Would love to hear from anyone who’s been frustrated by piecing together third-party tools just to get a product off the ground!

I'm working on two things right now that kind of go hand in hand:

- A webassembly bindings library for go, with "namespaced" / subpackaged adapters for Web APIs, so the final wasm binary won't be bloated

- A git management tool for my repositories, implemented in pure go (and using said wasm library) to find out what I need to build a small little app with it

I'm working on Somleng (https://github.com/somleng) - an Open Source alternative to Twilio, that's being used to save lives by powering the National Early Warning Systems of Cambodia and Laos.

We're also building OpenEWS (https://github.com/somleng/open-ews) which will be the world's first Open Source Early Warning System Dissemination Platform.

We're a small 2 person team trying to make a big difference.

I live next to a school, so there's a low speed limit (30 km/h). Still, people drive like race drivers and the city hasn't ever responded to the residents' hopes of introducing a speed camera. I wanted to have some data on how many people speed, the max speed recorded, that sort of thing. Things the city should be doing after many complaints of dangerous driving and people being almost killed on zebra crossings. I ha…

you could install some vigilante speed bumps maybe

This reminds me of the civic minded heroes from Oakland, the Pothole Vigilantes:

I've been working on a way to geolocate users who use a SSH terminal client. Admins may want to know or implement controls based on locations. We've created a Linux PAM module and mobile app that uses a text QR code to record the location. The PAM module can be used for other PAM controls like SUDO.

I built a small SaaS, mostly for myself, around OpenAI's API to quickly generate and store all of my web page meta descriptions for blogs.

Right now I am adding a couple of features as well as improvements to the UI and I want to make a proper pricing section for the landing page. Also need to figure out marketing. I enjoyed building it so much!
