Working on goblin, a scripting language that compiles to Go.

The idea: dynamic + minimal syntax for scripting, but you get a single static binary and Go's concurrency primitives (goroutines/channels) for free. No runtime to ship, easy to deploy anywhere.

Intentionally few features, the goal is small and scriptable. Someone with programming experience should be able to pick it up in half an hour.

Still very early stage.

I’m working on PDFBolt, a PDF generation API for developers.

https://pdfbolt.com

It’s for the boring pdf jobs every SaaS eventually gets: invoices, reports, certificates, contracts, labels, that kind of thing. You send html, a url, or a template with JSON data, and get a PDF back.

Last week we shipped the Node SDK. Right now I’m working on the Python SDK and tightening up the docs

Working on our game which is a twin stick shooter with auto-battler / TFT style shops and upgrades. We have a demo out: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4805740/runz_Demo/

going fine, good reviews + average playtime isn't bad at all for only a demo, but it's frustrating to just struggle to get eyes on it.

I continue to build my London based monthly directed-exploration LLM days where we try to collaboratively push through a benchmark. We're doing ARC AGI 2026 again in a couple of weeks: https://playgroup.org.uk/ Recently we built parts of GPT2 from scratch and worked on agent based benchmarks

[NO-AI] My wife and I continue to work on Uruky [1], a simpler Kagi alternative, based in the EU. Last month we launched image search (got out of beta this month), added our own index and crawler (via Uruky Site Search [2]), and reached 100 monthly active accounts (we’ve passed 150 now)! You can also see a privacy-focused independent blogger wrote about us [3]!! You can check out the main differences between Uruky an…

Uruky sounds like the google that we used to have: one that's just good because it returns relevant results, not because of ecosystem lock-in.

That being said, can't help noticing the [NO-AI] at the beginning of the post, and I wonder whether it would help adaption if you also make the search engine available to agents for paid customers.

During my 45 min commute to work I listen to podcasts. Over the last year, like most here, I have been focusing on AI and agentic engineering. The podcasts that I enjoyed the most profiled research papers. In April I started playing round with generating a semi-automated pipeline with python and Claude to generate a private podcast that does a deep dive into AI research papers. I think it is really cool. It fetches p…

Really great idea and very well executed. Not sure how much I can listen to those voices though, it's quite monotonous, although they're quite relaxing.

I am working on two things:

- SophAI (https://www.sophai.app/): an app to connect the dots across cross-domain. As a CTO, I read across multiple domains (tech, design, business, e-com) and often have to connect the dots. I am building this primarily for myself. It is basically a rss parser with a big AI prompt to connect the dots across the blog posts. As I type this, I'm working on adding podcasts to the app.

- CTO field notes (https://www.ctofieldnotes.com/): collection of essays growing out of my 30 years in IT services. One essay every Tuesday.
