I’m working on [Homestead]( https://myhomestead.dev ), which is my OSS solution for building personal apps. You can build web-apps and Homestead will handle backend, agent support, authentication, notifications, and a bunch of other stuff. I’ve used it to build a grocery store list, credit card perk tracker, address book, mini-golf scorecard app, and a bunch more. It’s really helped having all of the “platform” stuff…

This is cool! I have recently been building a "life admin" system that is focused around keeping track of bills and insurance reimbursements, and I am currently extending it to support a recipe database. My data model is markdown + CSV, but it has reached a point where a real database would be helpful. I'll check this out as it may be a good migration. Thanks for sharing.

I'm building an RF monitoring system. It can tell you things like: - The car that parked nearby last night coincided with "Chad's Galaxy Buds" with MAC address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff. The buds also drove by briefly the previous night. - Alert on sudden cross-specturm interference (e.g. burglars using a cheap jammer to knock out WiFi cameras). - Alert on known device contact loss (powered off / left premises). - Review dev…

What are you hoping this tool will do for the world?

Bringing model-driven development to coding agents with a desktop tool called Scryer:

https://github.com/aklos/scryer

It's still pretty experimental, but I think now that AI can feasibly generate code from intent/specs it's worth doing... especially with how much vibe coding is both a blessing and a curse.

Basically, what if we took those markdown specs everyone likes using and systematized them into a model graph, anchored claims to code, then represented that as a wiki? And what if we surfaced a planned change to a codebase as a diff of the definition of that model? You can then properly keep track of what gets implemented and how, because you're no longer reading an essay from the agent as a plan, you see a complete diff of everything it plans to do.

I've been using it myself for work, but it'd be nice to get some feedback from other people's perspectives.

I've spent the last 8 weeks or so building the spreadsheet tool I want to see in the world. CSVs as first-class citizens with the ergonomics and speed of my text editor. It's been a great opportunity to explore building GUIs in rust, and to really experiment with coding assistants. I'm looking for alpha/beta users https://cassava.dev/ .

Replying for the ~5 people who happened to download earlier this afternoon, the rc20 build that was uploaded earlier today was missing the update server URL. Re-downloading rc20 should have a corrected build that will notify you of any updates in the future.

https://fless.io - find an apartment with no emails, phone calls or scheduling

Tell us what you're looking for (ex. move-in date, bedrooms, location, rent etc..)

We reach out to buildings that may offer what you're looking for

You get a calendar of tours (in-person or virtual) when buildings confirm they have exactly what you want

We schedule efficiently so you can easily check out buildings and don't have to worry about logistics (ex. how close is building A to C if I walk?)

Currently available in the DMV area but more areas and services (ex. verified moving companies, utilities switch, move-in/out cleaning) coming soon!

https://quxnet.net/about I made it specifically to bring back what was amazing about the old internet, and do it as authentically as possible. takes inspiration from old internet messageboards, usenet, bbs, and pubnix hosts. it has sealed mail, boards, an rss reader, built-in media player, custom profiles, a links directory, and quite a bit more. it's just a little hobby art project for me but i've really appreciated…

How are you handling content moderation?

I made Beacon, a mobile app for answering: “which of my friends is free to talk right now?” It’s basically a one-to-many phone call that only one person can answer. Send a beacon to a group, and everyone gets rung at the same time. The first person who answers gets connected for a 1-1 call, and for everyone else the signal drops silently. No missed-calls or pressure to answer. Works pretty well given most people keep…

Curious what the stack looks like. Are you doing all the heavy lifting yourself with WebRTC or using something like LiveKit?
