I'm building a mindfulness app to help people set daily intentions and practice gratitude — https://www.justfortoday.app/

It’s a free app called Just for Today, inspired by a poem I found in How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (amazing book).

Download here: https://www.justfortoday.app/

It’s completely free. No ads. No account. All offline. Everything stays on your device.

The poem is a gentle reminder: - You don’t need to fix everything today. - You just need to be present — Just for Today.

That simple idea became the heart of the app.

Each morning, the app invites you to: - Set a kind intention - Check in with how you’re feeling - Practice gratitude - Write a little — just for you

If you try it, I’d love to hear what you think. Thank you :D

A comprehensive Prometheus metrics exporter for Gunicorn WSGI servers with support for multiple worker types and advanced monitoring capabilities, featuring innovative Redis-based storage, YAML configuration support, and advanced signal handling. This Gunicorn worker plugin exports Prometheus metrics to monitor worker performance, including memory usage, CPU usage, request durations, and error tracking (trying to replace https://docs.gunicorn.org/en/stable/instrumentation.html with extra info). It also aims to replace request-level tracking, such as the number of requests made to a particular endpoint, for any framework (e.g., Flask, Django, and others) that conforms to the WSGI specification.

When I am not working on my 'job' project, I am working on Ryelang.

In September, I was working on language core, console, generic methods, etc ... but this week I updated integration with OpenAI, IMAP, Surf (browser like client) and then I did few experiments by meshing together these libs.

These few lines proved to be quite helpful for my work email :)

    read-file: fn { f } { .Read .trim }
    line: "\n----\n"
    
    cli: imap-client read-file %.imap-user read-file %.imap-pwd "secure.emailsrvr.com" 993
    |Select-folder "INBOX"
    |Search-emails "UNSEEN SINCE 30-Sep-2025" :uids
    
    cli .Get-emails uids 
    |map { -> "text" } |join
    |concat3 line " Summarize the most important emails above and report them to me. Then separately report the most URGENT ones." :cmd

    oai: openai read-file %.oai-token
    oai .Chat\stream cmd { .prn }
I also tried to write/use these libs interactively: https://asciinema.org/a/745616

and made a "console applet": https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G2FXUepWgAAn7cu?format=jpg&name=...

... since you asked :)

Nonoverse (iOS, free, offline, no ads), a nonogram puzzle game: https://apps.apple.com/app/nonoverse-nonogram-puzzles/id6748...

I’m working on some more QoL and adding more puzzles, I’m surprised how quickly everyone completes the current ~60 levels. A better tutorial is in the works too. If you have any other ideas, feedback is very welcome.

I’m also working on another app, for building social media carousels; it’s currently awaiting app store review, so I’ll show it later.

Building a platform for documenting all of the publicly accessible stained glass (something akin to Find-a-grave.com, but for stained glass). No exciting tech, just vanilla HTMl, CSS, and JS. Glad to have any help on documenting local stained glass in your area!

I built this: https://github.com/dvcoolarun/web2pdf — a CLI tool for converting web pages to PDFs, open sourced after adding a bunch of new features.

If anyone’s looking to hire a dev or knows of opportunities, I was recently let go and am actively searching. Would appreciate any leads or feedback!

I'm launching a new product for my clock-making business: https://DigitalHorology.com None of my clocks tell the time. They're all fully automatic GPS-enabled timepieces. For a couple of years I've been developing, hand-making, and selling these clocks that track the moon phase, the sun's position, etc. My new idea is the tide clock "NautiKron." It's getting a lot of interest from US coastal buyers.

Love these! Where did you get the idea? Would love to know more.

Thanks! I posted the story here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/DigitalHorology?#about
