#82Sanctum 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.

#83Building 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
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.

#87i'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

#89Thinking ground up what AI agents would need rather than struggling later on with snapshotting live vms, or orchestration overhead etc.
rust-vmm proved really great for this.

#90The 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.
