A reality-bending anomaly game where you are the anomaly: as you interact with items in your environment, you may notice some anomalies. Moving a cookie jar opens the fridge door. Closing the fridge door makes a painting on the wall shrink, and rotating that painting switches the lights on.

My side project - https://macrosforhumans.com - is a traditional mobile macro tracker with first class support for voice (and soon image and text blob) inputs for your recipes, ingredients, measurements, units, etc. Kind of a neat project that may never make it too far off the ground considering I am not a mobile dev but it's been fun to build so far with the help of claude code. It's built with flutter and a fastapi…

I believe Macrofactor has had these features for quite a while now.

I'm building FlightWise ( https://flightwise.io ), an all-in-one SaaS platform for flight school operations. After acquiring a flight school, I quickly realized how challenging the day-to-day operations were. To solve the problems of aircraft fleet management, scheduling, and student course progress tracking, I developed a comprehensive platform that handles all aspects of running a flight school. Existing software i…
