A web app for my music needs - metronome, ABC notation editor with MIDI playback and PDF render, an embedded YouTube video player with a chapter/section creator based on timestamps and a looping feature for the chapters for practicing

https://metro.scopecreeplabs.com

https://metro.scopecreeplabs.com/abc

https://metro.scopecreeplabs.com/video

Offline first, everything is saved to Local Storage. Sharing is also purely serverless - the ABC text and the video chapter defs are shared via query parameters after compression and base64 encoding.

Tech: React, Material UI, ToneJS, ABCJS, CloudFlare (Pages, Workers, D1 Storage)

Next: Add an AI assistant to the ABC editor - editing ABC text gets painful fast.

Another month another project inbound.

https://flopper.io - this has become a big focus. It's essentially a table for flops. Calculator coming soon for flops and power. Imported >600 Datacenters in October.

https://llmstxt.studio - models need data and I believe llms.txt as an idea has merit. Likely needs an authority. Will add more audit tools to give people any slight benefit they can have for SEO.

https://probe.bike - tell stories with your bikepacking data.

It's pretty hard to work on all these ideas and areas whilst working. Feeling a bit over stretched.

Flopper remains the main focus as release cycles are slow and it overlaps with work slightly.

Making advanced multiphysics simulations and optimizations accessible through a simple web interface and AI chat agents. I’m building SimuPort (https://simuport.com ) to lower the barrier to running and iterating on complex simulations. I’m interested in hearing from anyone who has needed these kinds of simulations in practice (e.g., optimizing airflow in devices, analyzing thermal–structural interactions in prototypes) or who has experience with tools like Ansys, OpenFOAM, COMSOL, SimScale, or similar. What worked, what didn’t, and what’s still missing?

I was hitting Claude Code's rate limit pretty often while paying for their max subscription. Started thinking – I've got a decent GPU sitting at home doing nothing most of the day. So I'm building a distributed AI inference platform where you can run models on your own hardware and access it from anywhere privately. Keep your data on infrastructure you control, but also leverage a credit system to tap into more power…

I don't want to get into blockchain-shenanigans but I did love the Folding@home model for democratized compute. Could spare cycles on GPUs at home be used for a P2P network of inferencing?

I recently launched a daily word puzzle! https://tiledwords.com It’s inspired by tile placement board games like Patchwork and crosswords. You rotate and move tiles to rebuild a broken crossword. It’s free, web based, and responsive. I currently have several hundred daily players and growing. My wife and I create the puzzles and I’m continuing to fix bugs and add new features. I just launched a ”community puzzle” fea…

very addictive and original puzzle game, like it!

Started work on a project to put local history on a map. If I go somewhere I would ideally want to just open this webapp and immediately get presented with cool or interesting history that happened close by. Maybe it's a story about named local fishermen from the early 1900s, with pictures, the history of a statue and videos of the process, or the state of a graffiti wall over time. Currently in a phase of UI develop…

Related to wheretodrink.beer, I just launched a rough version of: https://www.nomnominees.com/. A site focused on finding award-winning breweries/restaurants to check out.

I'm working on ReFocused (https://refocused.app), an all-in-one productivity app.

It's a personal project that grew out of my own frustration. I was annoyed of paying for (and switching between) 8+ different apps for my Pomodoro timer, a secure journal, and habit tracking. I wanted to consolidate everything into one clean, fast interface.

I've spent the last few months building it out it's a full-stack app with a Next.js 15 frontend and a FastAPI/PostgreSQL backend. I'm really proud of the tech and the "minimalist UI, maximalist features" feel.

The app is live and free to use. I'd love any feedback on the app itself, but I'm also genuinely looking for advice: What's the best way to find your first 100 users for a new productivity app?

I figure having real users is a good resume boost and its an app anyone can use so I thought getting users would be easy but I've been struggling with it

I am working on SecurityBot https://securitybot.dev a service that combines uptime, performance, SEO, and security monitoring. Among other things it inckudes PageSpeed Insights analysis, a broken link auditor (401, 404, 500, etc), and historical ping/uptime results.

I recently shipped an MCP server thst can delivered broken link results to Cursor so they can rapidly be resolved.
