Started work on a project to put local history on a map. If I go somewhere I would ideally want to just open this webapp and immediately get presented with cool or interesting history that happened close by.

Maybe it's a story about named local fishermen from the early 1900s, with pictures, the history of a statue and videos of the process, or the state of a graffiti wall over time.

Currently in a phase of UI development and testing, and historical societies outreach for collaboration. It might stall and just fizzle into nothing, or it might be something cool.

Also still doing https://wheretodrink.beer, but haven't added anything of note since playing on this other project.

Cool. This concept is useful for adult language learners also. Depending on the language you are learning it can be very difficult to find reading material in the age 5 - 10 range to practice with.

I built a free (eventually free-mium) character card app for iOS: https://loreblendr.ai/app

These cards are super versatile prompts mediums and haven't been fully creatively explored.

https://whenever.world/ It's an explorable database of films, TV shows, books and board games based around their historical setting: where and when the thing is set. It's been incredibly complex and interesting getting the (messy) data, making sense of it and trying to design a UI to explore it. https://stevebennett.me/2025/08/26/whenever-exploring-times-...

Great job! I just went down a rabbit-hole exploring some historical events

I really enjoyed this! wondering about a possible "scratch" section or larger area - found myself spending a lot of time moving pieces around to get enough space

I really missed an old mobile game that got de-listed after the devs sold it to a company that subsequently ruined it. I'm a full stack dev, not a game dev, I don't have time to learn the ins and outs of Unity so I tried to see what was feasible in the web world with Babylon.js + React + Capacitor.js and I'm pretty astounded at how well it works out.

I've been posting a bit on https://www.reddit.com/r/BlossomIdleGarden. I plan on opening up a beta later this week.

https://www.athilio.com/ Currently finishing up garmin integration and a mobile port of the app. The app is aimed at people with goals related to their wellness or sports / training. Somewhat similar to training peaks but more focused on integrating different metrics, like sleep and readiness from oura and training data from garmin. Also user has more control. 0 focus on social features. Pricing aims to be affordable (1/4 - 1/2th of similar services), this is hopefully possible with local first approach for the data(sqlite). Saves tons of money on the backend costs when only the syncing from integrations + oauth is on the backend and no storage. Also I think this is more friendly for the users privacy and I would prefer to not store the users datas on my servers for GDPR reasons. Syncing between user devices can be done similarly as Obsidian with icloud. The user experience is a bit influenced by software observability.
