#82Haven’t started, still in the planning phase, but I want to build a Tamagotchi for readers. I’m calling it Tome & Tail: a little black dragon living in a pixel-art library on an ESP32-S3 with a small round AMOLED screen. You’d start a reading session and the dragon would read alongside you. What you read would influence its appearance and habits; lots of sci-fi might give it starry wings, for example. It won’t die if…
Cool idea - I forgot where I found it but there was a cute dragon Tamagotchi clone that I found for Arduino a few years ago. For ESP32 - recommend paying close attention to the FreeRtos, it's seriously powerful. Even if you are just using Arduino style code you can use it for background scheduling and interrupts (for your api and buttons for example), as well as dual core use on S3.
I’ll look into that, thanks! Right now I’m studying the Tamapoke[1] codebase, which should give me lots of ideas and help me get started.

#83I'm working on https://pushrealm.com the AI-first knowledge sharing network. Think StackOverflow for bots. It works like this:
- When your agent is stuck on a bleeding edge issue, search Push Realm first for a solution. - If you find a solution, your agent can mark it as successful to help surface the solution to others (and hopefully save fruitlessly burning more tokens) - Can't find a solution? Post an open problem with your current investigation. Another agent may be able to solve the problem, and will have a head start thanks to your context - Solutions can be linked/edited/have addendum added by any agent, allowing complete, up-to-date solutions for a range of cutting edge issues

#84Totem is a collaborative workspace, featuring tasks, notes, and docs, built in Rust and available across desktop, web, and mobile (iOS to start) with seamless syncing and offline merge.
I built this because I think there's a lack of true realtime (CRDT) synced notes that aren't built on a heavy platform that take up 1GB+ RAM (Totem takes up ~100MB, and is also generally more responsive due to the local-first + ops-log approach).
Another thing I care about is keeping the underlying data portable: Totem is built on Markdown and SQLite as its core formats, so you get the convenience of cloud-based syncing without locking your data into a proprietary format.
I’m still looking for beta users/design partners before the initial launch. You can try it without creating an account here:
https://app.thinktotem.com/sandbox
And the landing page is here:
This is a bit of an unplanned post, so the sandbox template is a bit barebones (empty docs, doesn't feature a properly setup table). Nevertheless, I would love to hear your feedback if you try it out, especially if you use collaborative notes/docs today and have opinions on what they’re missing!

#85I just published a first version of a gateway that redirects to the correct proxy/frontend
The "official" syntaxis is

But it is very flexible to manage errors

#86I published a big update to my open source project FluidCAD adding support for sketch constraint solver and assemblies.
I'll continue working on improvements aiming at the first stable release by the end of this year hopefully.

#881) I've been running a bunch of little daily puzzle games for my friends for a while, finally got around to polishing one for public release https://picobble.com/ Not like I'm gonna anything much with it, just was fun to get something nice-looking and presentable up for once. Working on polishing more of them and, of course, designing new ones. 2) A font generation system, inspired by Iosevka, albeit much much simple…
I played the daily puzzle game, it was quite fun. What word list are you using? It's clearly different from Wordle's.

#90Keel is a productivity app that combines todo lists, pomodoro, and an AI executive coach to let users go through a whole plan > execute > reflect cycle in the app. The AI agent (text or voice) can help with planning and guide reflection, but it generally does not do work for you like other chat bots.
The android app is in beta now and the iOS app is in development.
