Finally started writing that Game Boy emulator I've always wanted to make - C# on Linux, planning to use SDL for the display and maybe NAudio for the sound.

I'm still working on Freundebuch, a personal CRM.

I'm a long-time user of Monica (https://github.com/monicahq/monica/) but was unhappy that not much was happening. There is Chandler which is the next-gen version of Monica, but it has taken a direction which I don't like, as it is geared more to journaling.

I required a tool where I can put my contacts with all their details and also map out their relationships and put those details in my phones address book.

I recently also added an MCP-Server so you can plug that into an agent. My main use case is to create encounters by dictating some rough phrases into the agent and then have it create the encounters and linking all the right peoples to the encounters.

I'm happy to hear feedback.

I recently reconstructed my chat extension using AI, which has enabled functionalities that were previously difficult to implement. The downside is that I can no longer understand the project code.

I’m working on Digest: https://usedigest.com

It lets you combine the things you already follow like RSS, Hacker News, Reddit, YouTube, X, newsletters, weather, stocks, etc. into one personal email delivered on your schedule.

Recently I’ve been working on AI summaries for incoming newsletters. The interesting product problem is that once you combine this many sources into an email, there is a challenge to keeping the results finite and useful.

I'm working on a feature rich native Hacker News app. I tried out all HN Reader on the App Store but sadly they either have to few useful features, bad UI or both so I decided to build one myself. Currenlty I have an Android version in the Play Store and I am working on an the iOS verison.

Aside form an improved UI the app has a history so that you never loose a story and advanced bookmarking for saving stories and comments into custom folders.

It is still ruff arround the edges, for example I shipped it with login for upvoting stories and writing comments but the feature broke some time ago and I didnt have time to fix it yet, especially that I noticed most users don't even log in in the first place.

If you have an Android phone and love hacker news give it a Try:
