https://easel.games

A 2D game programming language with automatic multiplayer. Normally when you make a multiplayer game, you have to constantly think about how every bit of state is going to be synchronized. Easel bakes the multiplayer into the programming language itself, underneath all your code, so you can just code as if all players are in one shared world, like a singleplayer game, and Easel just makes your game multiplayer completely automatically. It’s intended as a fun way for beginners to learn to code - like a combination of Scratch and Roblox.

I’m working on a language learning tool where it uses LLMs to generate stories at your ideal level. The idea is the user would be provided stories that are 95% comprehensible, with the other 5% being a mix of brand new words or words you are still learning. As you read the story you click on words that you still don’t fully understand. I am only working on Spanish right now, since I want to optimize for each language. It’s been fun designing my databases, coming up with calculation ideas, designing story validation, creating an estimation system of a user’s knowledge for onboarding. I know there is some debate about LLMs in language learning and I don’t think they should be trusted to explain grammar but if you validate it’s output it can be such a great tool to learn at your perfect level.

I recently built a small iOS expense tracker called Ledgee.

I tried quite a few finance apps over the years, but they all felt too heavy for what I needed. I mainly wanted the fastest possible way to record a transaction before I forget it.

The core interaction is basically:

enter amount → tap category → saved

No save button, no forms, no subscriptions. Just quick manual entry, a simple overview, and a ledger. Data syncs via iCloud so it’s backed up automatically.

I’m curious whether other people also prefer manual entry over bank integrations.

Building a voice recorder/transcription/summarization app where everything runs on-device. No cloud, no uploads, no servers processing your audio.

Started with a web version using WebAssembly Whisper to validate the idea. Worked well enough to prove demand, but browser sandbox limits (no background recording, inconsistent model performance) pushed me to go native.

Rebuilt as an iOS/macOS app with CoreML. Apple Silicon handles Whisper-class models locally without issues, but its confined to recent devices.

I'm working on e2ee sync between web and mobile. I want to build a simplenotes but for audio transcription.

I am working on https://baolib.org.

Applications on the public cloud raise strong concerns about data protection. As an architect, I spend a meaningful part of my time ensuring the security of customers’ data in the cloud.

Bao introduces an innovative approach where data remains on local devices while the cloud provides encrypted storage for synchronization and peer exchange. Because cloud providers cannot access the data, the need for due diligence is reduced.

Any feedback is welcome.

Any connection with bao or openbao, the fork of hashicorp vault ? I fail to see any reference on the site
