Building AIP (Agent Identity Protocol) - cryptographic identity infrastructure for AI agents.

The problem: as multi-agent systems grow, agents need to prove who they are, verify each other, and communicate securely. AIP gives each agent an Ed25519 keypair and a DID, with a trust graph built through vouching (like PGP's web of trust, but for agents).

Current state: 14 registered agents, encrypted messaging, trust scoring, MCP server integration. CLI tool + Python SDK.

pip install aip-identity

I've been celebrating five years of working on OnlineOrNot ( https://onlineornot.com/ ) by adding more features for teams that build software: - 2FA, PassKey, and password-based login for folks that hate magic links - Moved my entire API from GraphQL to REST so I can fully dogfood the API I offer - Added an audit log as standard on all plans - Built a terraform provider ( https://github.com/OnlineOrNot/terraform-prov…

I'm hoping to soon start beta testing of a similar SaaS. Just wanted to say that you and your business are a huge inspiration for me.

Hey all, this is a cool idea for a thread! I've found some intriguing projects I will be following.

After being a web-focused dev for my whole professional career, I am now developing a mobile app with Flutter.

The app is called Limberly, and it focuses on health and ergonomics for sedentary workers. Us, who sit for a living.

It is scientifically proven[1] that sitting is detrimental to our health, with increased mortality rates. The primary way to reduce the negative effects of sedentary work is to move, and scrolling through feeds on your phone doesn't count as moving :)

This means performing sessions of resistance training, running, biking, but also taking micro-breaks during work sessions.

Research has shown[2] that taking short breaks during work reduces fatigue, and in some cases boosts performance.

Limberly is still in early development, so it's basically a glorified collection of timers (for taking microbreaks, for switching between sitting and standing, and for switching your "mouse hand"), but I do have a clear vision of having a smart system that recommends specific activities to do during breaks, ergonomically setting up your workspace, coach you on correct posture, track statistics etc.

If you'd like to help me test and shape the app as we go, please sign up for the waitlist or DM me here.

P.S. I guess this is a required disclaimer these days: The landing page is static and mostly vibe-coded, but the app itself is not. I do use Claude Code to speed up certain plumbing and widget implementations, but the core architecture and logic are designed, vetted and programmed by myself. Being a solo dev, it is important for me that I understand what every class and function is doing.

P.P.S. I don't like using scare tactics like "SITTING IS KILLING YOU!!" but it is sadly a fact. Also, I'm not selling you anything, as the app is free to use :)

Investing in standing desks, HM chairs and split keyboards is definitely a good idea, but what matters most is movement and changing your pose constantly.

We're building SearchSpot.ai. The basic idea is that travel planning is less a search problem and more a decision-confidence problem. Existing tools are decent at giving links, filters, or generated itineraries, but not great at helping you eliminate options in a way that feels trustworthy. In practice, most people planning a real trip end up stitching together OTAs, maps, blogs, Reddit, Instagram, weather, commute times, reviews, etc. The hard part isn't only finding options, it's ruling them out with confidence. We're trying to make that process more structured: preserve trip context, compare options across constraints, keep bucketlists/itinerary views, and show enough reasoning that it doesn't feel like a black box. Still early, but that's the problem we're obsessed with.

Working on PDFBolt (https://pdfbolt.com) - a PDF generation API. You send HTML, a URL, or a Handlebars template with JSON data, get a PDF back. Uses Playwright underneath so modern CSS just works.

Lately been deep in PDF/X print production - PDF/X-1a and PDF/X-4 with ICC color profiles and CMYK conversion. Had to build 11 color space converters on top of PDFBox 3.0. Also shipped an AI template generator where you describe what you need and it creates a Handlebars template with sample data, plus expanded the gallery to 38 pre-built ones.

Right now template management lives in the dashboard - edits auto-create drafts, you can compare any two versions as rendered PDFs and roll back if something breaks. Working on an API so coding agents can create and version templates programmatically.

My wife and I continue to work on Uruky, a EU-based Kagi alternative [1]. Since last month we got deals with a couple more search providers but we’re still waiting for EUSP/STAAN to provide us with an API key (we have progressed through a few more forms and signatures and legal stuff, though). We’ve continued to get some paid customers and have exited beta last week, given everyone seemed to be quite satisfied and th…

Surprisingly, I haven't heard of Uruky yet, even though I'm actively looking for EU replacements to a lot of international companies.

I have subscribed for a month and will give it a try.

One feedback already though. Some of the German translations are...not great. For example, on the landing page under the "Not another AI tool". In English you write "We find it hard to do in a sensible, responsible, and respectful way." In the German translation its "Es fällt uns schwer, vernünftig, verantwortungsvoll und respektvoll zu handeln."

The German translation makes it sound like you (as in you as a company and person) have a hard time being respectful, not the actual AI implementation.
