Got tired of sitting through ads to play puzzle games (my favorites are Killer Sudoku and Calcudoku), so I built my own site to play them on. I'm trying to get a huge collection of a variety of games all with a clean, mobile-friendly UI, keyboard shortcuts for desktop, leaderboards, and achievements. I'm still making tweaks and improvements as well as adding more puzzle games over time (up to 9 right now!)

Currently working on rezgen.app which is an resume generator that helps to generate ATS optimized resumes per job posting parsed. It helps so that you can quickly crank out many resumes that all follow the same formatting rules and design. This removes the need to utilize word or another software for ensuring the resume always comes out formatted the same.

KiCad web port, with real time collaboration. I've been working on it for the last ~6 months on and off, I have some help now. It's close, we're launching in a few weeks ( hopefully this one ).

It was an interesting project since there were so many unknowns, like can we really turn an offline desktop app into a collaborative one, can it be fast enough, can we port the graphics parts. It turns out you can! I have a semi-vibe coded landing page now, you can sign up to get into the alpha cohort: https://www.pcbjam.com/

For the last month I've worked on a firefox plugin that allows me to send webhooks to my home assistant.

In my living room I have a linux pc connected to my TV and I'm using this in 2 ways:

- Automatically set lights when media starts/stops playing. This way I can turn on some accent lighting when I pause a movie to go to the bathroom and automatically turn them off when I resume the movie

- When media is playing I calculate the color that best represents the content and export it to home assistant use it as a poor man 'ambilight' with a led strip strategically placed behind my TV

I think the next logical step is to find a way to automatically track the content I'm watching so I can have some high level stats about my viewing habits.

Been learning electronic PCB design the last few weeks while retrofitting some IKEA window shades for Zigbee enabled motorization. I've really enjoyed the journey of 3D printing and being able to create all kinds of mechanically useful things over the last few years, but I had always wanted to go even further and incorporate some non-trivial custom electronics. For this project I had a space constraint for the motor…

That's cool.

I wanted to see the schematic in a README.md on GitHub. (Saves me having to d/l the KiCad files, open them.) It would be cool if you added that to the repo.

After attempting a charity push up challenge in Feb I wanted to contiune with a similar app to track reps, so I build paayn (push ups are all you need).

It's deliberately minimalistic PWA that uses you mobile's sensors (camera, using lux levels and/or acclerometer) to count reps.

I included squats and sit ups later to round it out but it kinda made the name bad :)

Feel free to sign in as a guest and try it out.

I've been wanting to learn deep learning on a deeper level, so I've spent the past month going through Understanding Deep Learning. I've gotten to the chapter on CNNs and right now I'm just implementing a bunch of foundational ML papers (AlexNet, VGG, Word2Vec, etc).
