I have a dream that any time you have to input info into a website/app you have an option to do it via voice conversation instead of typing.

Obviously it would be a dystopian nightmare to have everyone yelling inputs into their phone on the sidewalk, but at certain times it would be extremely useful (while driving, etc.). It allows for a crazy level of accessibility, and sometimes I just want to not stare at a screen or type anymore.

With that in mind I made https://veform.co. Still a million miles from the dream but it has working demos and a playground to code different form conversations in.

I was bothered by heavy polarization of Americans, individually and even in churches, that appears to ve driven mostly by media outlets who cherry pick and lie. The Left and Right report specific events so differently that their readers might as well live in different worlds. People need to ditch those sources where possible. If not, they need to have a mix of them while understanding their biases.

Originally for churches, my draft article below describes how this problem affects all individuals and institutions. I recommend solutions which include AllSides.com (amazing!) and search engines for retrieving news from multiple outlets. I have a prototype. Progress is slow on my tool because I work two jobs with my free time mostly going to ministry serving Christ and others.

I haven't finished reviewing and adding Drooid yet. I'll still link it because it's a good idea:

(Note: I'm not affiliated with or paid by any of these companies. I am a paying supported of AllSides because I believe they'll do a lot of good.)

Been building an E2EE chat client on the weekends that sits right between Discord (but dis-enshittified) and Matrix (but with good UX around encryption). Still got some rough edges - we are in the second nine of the march of nines in terms of quality.

Just recently I finished a AI agent skill for making wireframes and clickable prototypes in the hand-drawn aesthetics (Github: https://github.com/agilek/wireframer-skill)

Sample output:

This started as a joke idea I had but I've had a lot of fun making this and I got some of my friends to sign-up, adds another reason for me to ride my bike.

I am working on gamifying strava activities with a game called Hog Crankers. They are little hogs that turn a crank and right now it syncs to your strava and generates a certain amount of hogs per 5 miles of activity.

I got it approved by Strava so i can have up to 1000 athletes login, been making some small UI changes and next need to tweak the economics. I plan on making it kind of like a base building type of game.
