g023 Code - https://github.com/g023/g023code a deepseek v4 flash harness built specifically for that model, that uses Ollama for its vision support, and uses the built in web search capability natively. Created only in Python to keep it easy to implement and use. Made to achieve cache efficiency, and keep context tight.

Working on the ability to create mixnets with sanctum [0] and its cathedrals.

Sanctum already has very capable traffic analysis protections in place in the form of shroud, but being able to build mixnets will make it even more valuable.

But it’s been vacation time so it’s been slow progress as time away from the internet is equally valuable.

Building a modern typing application. https://typequicker.com I believe typing is probably one of the most important skills in 21st century for knowledge workers and yet one of the most neglected. Hoping to change that. Anyone can learn to type fast, without having to think about or look down at the keyboard. We are building the best tool to help people get there quickly

Typing applications has been an extremely crowded space since all the way back in the Mavis Beacon days - good luck!

Small bit of feedback that might help it stand out more from the crowd and appeal to HN users: Add in training for Colemak, Dvorak, and maybe regional variants like AZERTY.

my own high speed train viewer (trainradar) that i use to further develop my software development skills. so far i'm happy with it and its performance, and it has forced me to learn how to scrape without being detected/banned

i'm using react on the front, pretty interesting how it manages states in the frontend and how to come up with new strategies to not trigger so manny re-renders of the UI, and on the back i use fastapi with postgresql and oauth2

I'm working on an autonomous snow clearing robot: https://www.frost-e.com/

The basic idea is that instead of trying to solve the general case in robotics (ie, the humanoid companies - multiple tasks, multiple environments, generalization, etc) which needs billions of capital, can you efficiently deploy current tech to robustly do one task in one environment for cheap.
