I’m building a daily word puzzle game with a twist! In Tiled Words you rearrange tiles to solve clues and rebuild a broken crossword. You can play a demo at https://tiledwords.com - it’s free and web based so it works on whatever device you’ve got. I’ll be officially launching on October 19th at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. You can sign up to be notified on launch. Starting then there will be a new puzzle every da…

love the UI! one feedback I have is it would be nice to be able to use arrow keys on the desktop website to move the tiles

Thanks! Keyboard support is on my road map

I shared this with my colleagues at work. Got this feedback: > This is amazing. I could lose days to this.

That’s lovely to hear? Thanks for sharing it!

I'm working on a web app that creates easy-to-understand stories and explainers for the sake of language learning. You can listen in your favourite podcast app, or directly on the website with illustrations.

I've mostly focused on Japanese and French, but I'm eager to add more languages if anyone is able to help me evaluate the text-to-speech for that language.

For about two years I am working on dynamically configured, zero-downtime, low-code API and extenaible platform called Hamster Wheel. It is written in C# and today I released first one of few libraries that I developed while working on it:

https://github.com/npodbielski/HamsterWheel.FluentCodeGenera...

It is small helpful library that helps to write Roslyn source code generators using fluent API. Might be a bit niche use, but native Roslyn APIs are a bit complicated to get started writing source code generator. Fluent API helps with that greatly. In example:

- automatically emits using statements

- automatically format generated code

- helps with importing types

- helps with indentation and balancing parenthesis

- helps with adding, using parameters, async methods generation

- provides nicer to use wrappers to Roslyn IncrementalValueProvider

- allows to share pieces of code between files/classes (i.e. interfaces implementation)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Pretty cool, I’m sure you’re well aware but I feel like the powder packs are the future here. Makes E-commerce more feasible too. Have you looked into this? Guessing the fresh part rules it out? Writing as someone that’s switched to liquid iv and have tried LMNT and a few others.

>Have you looked into this? Yes. I get asked this frequently. I don't want to follow the same trend bandwagon that it seems everyone is on. Stick packs taste fake and often are loaded with non-essential junk (the FDA also doesn't regulate a lot of supplements). A lot of stick packs are also leaning heavily into "natural flavors". A lot of our customers are people who go out of their way to avoid "natural flavors". If…

Thanks for the response. Certainly respect your direction but I happen to think the trend will mature versus fade away. I know you're going after this certain niche, which I understand, but I don't think most people care as much about knowing exactly what is going into their bodies. I mean, sales and the average American diet proves as much. For me, the convenience of keeping a packet in my bag/desk/car/etc for weeks or months far outweighs the control over flavor and cost. Also usually prefer a tropical punch flavor over lemon/lime and that's more difficult to recreate on the fly (probably "natural flavors" lol). I don't have a workout regimen I just sometimes do work that is labor intensive and it helps me recover. It's usually an unplanned activity and the powder stuff is stable and available when I need it and really that's all I care about. I haven't even looked into the ingredients to see what it is that is actually helping me, but Liquid IV definitely is helping me recover and feel more hydrated than Gatorade ever has. Helps with cramps too, which I just assume is K but again, I haven't even looked. Just wanted to share my "customer journey" as anecdata, obviously no right/wrong path here and it's your company to push in whichever direction you want. Best of luck with it, I will give it a try if I ever see it in my area!

Building https://multi.dev , an AI coding agent with bunch of FOSS contributors We took a great amount of learning from tools like Cline, Roo..

I’ve been using tools like Cline and Roo-Code quite a bit, and the idea of rethinking the core stack/UX from scratch resonates a lot. The agent workflow and devex feel like the hardest problems to get right, so I’m curious how Multi approaches context management and long-running tasks compared to the others. Excited to see it open-sourced and will definitely give it a spin.

> I’ve been using tools like Cline and Roo-Code quite a bit, and the idea of rethinking the core stack/UX from scratch resonates a lot.

Would love to learn more about your experience with cline. We spent quite some trying to add multi agent capabilities and improve the overall ux/devex of Cline (and its clone Roo) to make it more intutive for developers. we found that its stack is not built for these capabilities, and the codebase was not as stable as we would like it to be. it required a major rewrite, at that point being another cline clone made no sense to us.

> The agent workflow and devex feel like the hardest problems to get right

yes, AI coding agents are probably the most complex agents out there. our approach comes from actor model, where each agent manages its own event-loop. we found this is incredible robust way to build specialized agents that interact with one another within multi. Too early to say but

> Excited to see it open-sourced and will definitely give it a spin.

thanks. still brewing but will let you know. appreciate your feedback.

Love to try this out! We're using Cline already

thanks. would love your feedback once we launch.

What's the difference? Tell me more.

we redesigned the whole system from ground up for robustness, speed, scale and multi agent capabilities.

I'm building Kavla, its an infinite multiplayer canvas for data analytics. I have a video on how it works on https://kavla.dev/ And a live demo here: https://demo.kavla.dev/ I've been working in the data space for five years now. Kavla is something that I personally feel would make my job more fun! Built with tldraw and duckdb

Very cool. Also very performant on the UI. On a side note, I can see this becoming very popular among a Greek audience due to its name.

On the side, custom coloring books for kids using nano banana, started with a project for my son, and its a little janky for some photos but have had some interest already: https://bespokebooks.io . I think it needs to be a phone app to really work for most people though, so that's next on my to do list besides some prompt tweaking. Notebook to do it yourself here: https://github.com/dbish/bespoke-books-ai-example I…

This is truely awesome and reminds me of the project that was making a litle one story book with the child as the main character. It was at least a couple of years ago I think.
