Basically, trying to make guitar practice a bit more fun by adding gamification.

Was getting annoyed having to work out which video call platform to use for intro meetings, so I’m currently working on https://simplevc.blazingbanana.com . It’s a private, simple browser video chat.

The goal is to make it easy to create social and marketing videos without video editing skills.
We’re currently experimenting with different generation styles and workflows, and would love feedback from builders here.

Have you come across Jitsi? Might get you a long way faster than rebuilding for yourself from scratch.
I know it's stuff that's been done before, but it's fun seeing how this stuff works and fits together, along with the limitations you have within a browser environment.
In 2024, PlasticList found plastic chemicals in 86% of tested foods—including 100% of baby foods they tested. Around the same time, the EU lowered its “safe” BPA limit by 20,000×, while the FDA still allows levels roughly 100× higher than Europe’s new standard.
That seemed solvable.
Laboratory.love lets you crowdfund independent lab testing of the specific products you actually buy. Think Consumer Reports × Kickstarter, but focused on detecting endocrine disruptors in your yogurt, your kid’s snacks, or whatever you’re curious about.
Find a product (or suggest one), contribute to its testing fund, and get full lab results when testing completes. If a product doesn’t reach its goal within 365 days, you’re automatically refunded. All results are published publicly. I'm actually thinking about turning off crowdfunding and making it a pure "service to be purchased" as all fully-funded products have been single-contributor driven (the refund process creates labor without a clear upside).
We use the same ISO 17025-accredited methodology as PlasticList.org, testing three separate production lots per product (when possible) and detecting down to parts-per-billion. The entire protocol is open.
*Stats as of Jan 2026*
- Since launching almost one year ago, laboratory.love has received $16,835+ in contributions across 38 products!
- 12 products have been fully funded, representing 36 batch samples (that's three unique production batches per product) and 72 total chemical panels (two separate tests for each sample, BPA/BPS/BPF and phthalates)
- 9 product results have been published, with 3 currently in progress
- One manufacturer has already kicked off an internal investigation as a result of our testing (more to say here soon).
- Product pages with published results tables can now calculate the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) Tolerable Daily Intake Percentage (%TDI) for toddlers (assumed to be 14kg) and adults (70kg).
- Monthly Subscriptions are live. Funds are pooled and allocated to the leading unfunded product anytime the pool can get that product to its funding goal.
The goal is simple: make supply chains transparent enough that cleaner ones win. When consumers have real data, markets shift.

I saw the "TADA" post a week or so back (like "TODO" but you finished it—"Tada!") and I regretted not having done write ups for projects I did in 2025. So I'm doing that belatedly. ( https://engineersneedart.com ) Also playing with building analog computers so I can understand them (and will not wait until 2027 to post about what I learned/did).
EDIT: Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong person? Here's the link: https://www.ducktyped.org/p/one-year-of-keeping-a-tada-list

Then, I do the same thing for labour rights. Write guides, build tools, vet a network.
Concretely, I'm setting up a community of practice around the topic. I'm putting everyone in the same room so that we can work faster and together. It makes research much easier for me, because I can just ask experts on Whatsapp.

This looks beautiful! I'm excited to play around with it and see what I can make!
Thanks! Excited to see your creations. Please share them. And don’t hesitate to reach out via socials or website if you have any feedback/questions.

I loved that post and especially your watercolours. EDIT: Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong person? Here's the link: https://www.ducktyped.org/p/one-year-of-keeping-a-tada-list And the discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46354282
