I'm still having a lot of fun releasing daily puzzles for my game Tiled Words: https://tiledwords.com It just won an award! It was awarded Players' Choice out of 700 daily web games at the Playlin awards: https://playlin.io/news/announcing-the-2025-playlin-awards-w... Right now around 3,500 people play every day which kind of blows my mind! It's free, web-based, and responsive. It was inspired by board games and cros…

I think I am getting close to a 100 day streak. Thanks!

Extremely performant JS port of Lemmings (~28,000,000 Lemmings at original game speed on a decent PC), with a full midi subsystem (going to turn it into a weird sequencer), a level editor, etc https://doublemover.github.io/LemmingsJS-MIDI/ Slopjective-C 3.0 https://github.com/doublemover/Slopjective-C Whatever this is, I don't feel like explaining it, ask claude https://github.com/doublemover/PairOfCleats And a zacht…

how do 28million Lemmings fit on a 320x200 VGA screen? :-D

Im building https://trypixie.com to legally employ my 7 year old child, save on taxes and contribute to her Roth IRA. Im also building https://www.keepfiled.com , a microsaas to save emails (or email attachments) to google drive I almost forgot, I also built https://statphone.com - One emergency number that rings your whole family and breaks through DND. I love building. I built all these for myself. unfortunately I…

Do you use Twilio for statphone? Or SIP? I want to build a telephony app, but the economics don't work out with Twilio.

I quit my job a few months ago and started working on some of the ideas I always wanted to toy around with. Built bunch of consumer apps and softwares. I built anything and everything that I was curious about.

Right now, actively building and growing https://OpenScout.so which is a tool for tracking mentions on Reddit, Linkedin, Twitter and HN. This is primarily made for early stage SaaS founders to help them with brand visibility problem.

Also, I don't support bots so we will never built bot solutions. This is against most of the ToS of platforms. I started this because I truly realised that building has commoditised and the go to market is the real deal. This tool helps with that. I'm going to add more features and I would love for you to try it.

Trying to solve my own problem of drowning in meetings and scattered tools, turning things into actionable items. It sits on top of what I already use and gives me a unified "What do I need to do (now/today)?" view. Trying to auto-capture action items from meeting transcriptions and other inbound, and routing quick thoughts to the right tool with a couple of keystrokes, helping me prioritise my day so I'm not spendin…

I built a suite of cli tools my last rotation at work for this exact reason. Made a contacts database using recutils with a go cli wrapper, used vikunja for Todo (with a cli wrapper from someone else), have all knowledge stored in a Johnny decimal folder structure with markdown summaries, and an automated typst document creation pipeline cli to blast out reports and posters and stuff, among a couple others. I basically did my job via terminal with agents after investing a couple days getting it set up, paid off very quickly.

A stock market daytrading system, I am live coding it on my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL04PGV4cTuIXoK6yBAFzh...

Opus has been amazingly useful at answering various statistics question that I had for it, and my current idea is a nested auction market theory inspired model. My biggest discovery is that replacing time with volume on the x axis (on a chart) and putting the bar duration on the bottom panel instead of volume normalizes the price movements and makes some of the profitable setups I've seen described in tape reading/price ladder trading courses actually visible on naked charts. A great insight I've gleamed is that variance should be proportional to volume instead of time or trade count. When plotted, it has the effect of expanding high volume areas, and compressing low volatility ones, which exposes trending price action much more readily. It honestly amazing, it's making me think that I could actually win at the trading game.

I'm working on a Chess improvement app https://blunders.ai . The main goal is letting people analyze their games and improve by studying their blunders. It uses stockfish and AI for analysis. You can chat with your games like "Why would I do ___ instead of this?" Also, there are the standard puzzles and openings type learning with improvement plans.

I've been playing with something similar! Curious how you are interfacing with Chess.com / lichess.org, are you having people paste their PGN's?
