- What I'm working on right now - https://incidenthub.cloud - It monitors cloud/SaaS status pages. I'm working on some white-labeling features.

- New ideas - Easier way for new users to try out the product. It's currently a few steps, but I want to optimize it for specific user personas.

What I am working on is my masters thesis in bioinformatics supports/HPC: "Predicting the running time of bioinformatics tools", by running (initially) 5 tools 1000 times each with different parameters and then fitting a curve.

I am pretty sure I can get 70% predation rates +/- 10% . Unfortunately, I'm blocked by the lack of hardware. Kind of not-quite school affiliated (so I cannot really ask for national computing resources), so I am trying to build a single threaripper pro node on my own. Hurts the wallet, but if added to slurm as module, this can have implications.

I created a media editing app that lets you do some of the most common video editing tasks (cut, resize, compress, blend audio etc). It's browser based so your files never leave your machine and is very fast (leveraging the latest and greatest libraries such as Media Bunny).

I've been working on a sillier project lately. Green teeth! Lumina has made a probiotic strain that is able to, theoretically, prevent cavities. I don't care that much about, but I do think it is a neat strain that can likely colonize your mouth. I'm genetically engineering it to express sfGFP, which would theoretically make my teeth fluorescent green under black light. Would be fun at raves! Also, if I make out with…

In future: Papa, why are humans' teeth green?

- Oh, son, let me tell you a story about how an ancient dude called koeng wanted to see how many people he kissed.

I recently launched a daily word puzzle! https://tiledwords.com It’s inspired by tile placement board games like Patchwork and crosswords. You rotate and move tiles to rebuild a broken crossword. It’s free, web based, and responsive. I currently have several hundred daily players and growing. My wife and I create the puzzles and I’m continuing to fix bugs and add new features. I just launched a ”community puzzle” fea…

There are not many sites I whitelist for javascript, or even bookmark these day. Really glad I tried your game, it's fun and nicely executed. Well done to you both.

I’m building A2Fusion [1], a dual RP2350 expansion board for the Apple II to provide, storage, hdmi video and other functions in one card. The PoC is currently a big mess of wires. Waiting on JLCPCB for first prototype boards.

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 develop…

Ever since I discovered Gypspy nearly a decade ago (now Guidealong https://guidealong.com/) - I've been dreaming of an open source app that'd pull local history from sources like Wikipedia, those roadside historical signs, etc., and narrate as you drive.

https://autio.com/ is similar - but obviously not open source, and more limited.

It seems like it could even tailor itself to what an individual user is interested in, and with AI - could turn more "dry" encyclopedia-type information into more compelling narratives. With some kind of route planning software, you could even pre-plan your trips ahead of time and select the things you're interested in.

Obviously not what you're building, but something related that's been clunking around in the back of my head for a while.

I'm building CommitKit, a tool that turns your git history into résumé bullet points and STAR-based talking points for interviews. After being downsized twice in two years from senior engineering roles, I realized how painful it is to reconstruct what you actually accomplished at a job once you’ve lost access to your repos. Each time, I had to dig through memory and scraps of old PRs to remember what I’d built. The f…

Nice! When I was leaving a company after 4 years there, I went through jira + my git commits to write a log of everything I'd done. Really great look back.
