Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is brilliant

Isn't it super likely the gift buyer will realize what's up when making the purchase? There would have to be two websites or something.

> There would have to be two websites

Yes. That... doesn't sound like a very hard technical challenge?

I am working on randomness and cryptography to help the paranoid use the cloud.

Next month is scheduled for a few projects that are aimed at a broader market than the current products, like an API and a toy/demonstration version for casual users.

I’m working on a small side project that allows you to react to any URL with any emoji. https://opinionmoji.com/ It’s mainly an excuse to learn some new things (HTMX, Prisma, DigitalOcean, etc.), as well as get comfortable building and shipping something from scratch on my own. My goal is to eventually see large (and funny) swings in reactions in realtime.

This is the perfect mix of stupid and fun!

A new terminal emulator [0] from scratch. It's native and cross-platform for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

This is a product with a history of overpromising on the release date, but I'm being more realistic with the roadmap and streaming progress on Twitch.

If it helps think of it as the indie, non-AI version of Warp [1].

I'm working on the Synthetic Data Vault, a set of libraries to generate realistic synthetic data. We have an option to use GAN models but we've found that Gaussian & other copula models work great because they're faster and more user configurable.

I'm working on a stock portfolio management app: https://itako.app/

After diving a bit into finance last year, I found the book "Smart Portfolios" by Rob Carver, which basically aimed at teaching simple heuristics to help create and manage robust stock portfolios. Sadly this book has quite a few simplifications that were valid at the time of writing but are not anymore (ie. interest rates ~= 0). So I set myself to re-implement this a bit properly in a tool for me and eventually other people.

It's up and running online but still a work in progress. It only work for US stocks and the charts can sometimes display non-sense.

A developer happiness product, https://workdna.com. It sends out employee pulse surveys that are purpose-built for dev teams and don't suck to fill out.

Lots of companies just cobble together a Google Form full of irrelevant questions, send it out, and throw their hands in the air when nobody fills it out.

WorkDNA surveys your team on criteria like CI/CD reliability, test flakiness, PR feedback quality, job satisfaction, and psychological safety. The surveys take 20 minutes to set up, 5 minutes to fill out, and are completely anonymous.

I'm working on a tool that easily allows you to theme your UI using CSS variables called Blueberry. https://www.getblueberry.io/

The idea is that each CSS variable becomes a widget and then the Blueberry endpoint will serve those variables so you can let your users customize profile pages/portals and other places they integrate with you UI.
