i’m working on http://harcstack.org Combining HTMX with raku Air, Red and Cro so that you can just build websites the right way™. Here is an entire (minimal) website… use Air::Functional :BASE; use Air::Base; sub SITE is export { site page main p "Yo baby!" }

This is something I definitely want to check out. I was playing around with raku just before christmas and wanted to try making a small webapp with it.

Been working on https://www.labophase.com/ I mainly built it to save money on subscribing to multiple places to try out a new ai with a privacy focus.

Basically it's an AI aggregated service where users can prompt multiple ai models at the same time/place for free and/or under one subscription fee ($20).

Currently working on a simple timing website for running and cycling race organizers. A manual 'just press a button when someone crosses the finish line' is already there, but now I'm experimenting with a printable QRcode that contestants have to wear. Once the QR code crosses the line, the time is registered. All within the browser, so no apps need to be installed.

Neat. I usually try different models for the same task, however, I have developed an intuition for which one is better for a particular task. Have you considered routing user queries to the optimal AI model based on the specific task or combining multiple AI systems to produce superior results?

A Chrome extension to track your research progress.

You give a title to your research session, and it keeps track of which tabs you have opened, which ones you have read and have not read.

When you want to resume your research, you can simply resume on whichever research session you want, and it will reopen all your tabs as before, so you can continue from where you left.

I just put live a daily logic puzzle, Clues by Sam. I've been working on it for a while now, mainly on the level generator. It was tricky to generate levels that are solvable using logic (no guessing needed), and also fun to solve (no crazy long deduction chains, but also not just obvious things). I'm sure the implementation still has some quirks on some devices, so would love to hear if you encounter issues! https:/…

I really enjoyed this! I can't even comprehend how levels can be generated for it. After reading instructions I found it straightforward to play.

FYI there's a misspelled word - "accountat" on the home page.

I’m working on Popgot ( https://popgot.com ), a tool that tracks unit prices (cost per ounce, sheet, pound) across Costco, Walmart, Target, and Amazon. It normalizes confusing listings (“family size”, “mega pack”, etc.) to surface the actual cheapest option for daily essentials. On top of that, it uses a lightweight AI model to read product descriptions and filter based on things like ingredients (e.g., flagging pean…

I don't think I have the time to go to different stores to buy different things based on what is cheap. I have one fixed one. However, what I would like is a product where I upload my shopping receipt for a few weeks/months from the one store I go to. The application figures out what I typically buy and then compares the 4-5 big stores and tells me which one I should go to for least price.

This is a great idea. And OCR should be good enough nowadays to parse the receipts. Probably would work best as a mobile app, though.

I am working on DevOps AI for my DollarDeploy platform. Helps you define correct settings when deploying any kind of app, guessing from the GitHub repo contents. Not another chatbot but Cursor IDE style autocomplete for the app configuration.

For now it is a bunch of ifs, and that's ok - lot of them are generated with AI but validated to be reasonable.

Currently working on http://untamed.earth

Scratching an itch, the intention is that its a map, centered on the users that shows all (configurable) things of interest near by. Think of Atlas-Obscura but much more local - eg AO doesn't list every prehistoric burial mound on the planet, but I want to know where they are ;)
