Professionally, my team just made our big new launch of a feedback collection tool - https://www.sunbeam.cx/asklet. It tries to go just a little beyond the "give us a star rating" and collect some more detailed feedback without being too in-your-face or annoying.

In my spare time I've been working on a small service for making sure I remember friends and families birthdays. I think it's really important but with friends all having kids it's becoming more and more to keep track of in the calendar. I'm putting together a small web app which takes in the birthday and sends me a reminder a set amount of time away, with some suggestions for birthday gifts.

The suggestions right now are just ones that I've entered as I've come across ideas throughout the year for people. But I want to try and plug in known interests and see if I can do a better recommendation for myself. I'm hoping to keep it quite small as I don't want to take the spirit out of remembering people's birthdays, but I do want to be more consistent.

I'm working on an TTRPG Toolset for managing universes

https://www.rpguni.com

It's still early in development, but it has a large number of features that I've always wanted. A dynamic entity system so users can create their own entities with their own traits. Random tables. A madlibs still generator. All of these things work together, too. You can have tables that randomly pick other tables values, or you can reference your own custom entities. And all this can be tied to maps or a calendar. Again, all something users can create. And of course, all of this can be shared out so you can have a published gazetteer and encyclopedia of your world that is easy to manage.

Mostly done because existing systems were too clunky, and wikis don't offer the same level of control and reuse. For example, you can reference entities parameters in other entities allowing you to embed data in multiple places and have it have a single source of truth.

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.

A tool that detects potential signs of overwork in incident responders, which could lead to burnout. To compute a per-responder risk score, it integrates with Rootly, PagerDuty, GitHub, and Slack.

We offer both a hosted version (https://oncallburnout.com/) and a self-hosted one (https://github.com/Rootly-AI-Labs/On-Call-Burnout-Detector).

Working on a CLI tool called xpire which can add expiry dates to filesystem structures: https://github.com/benibr/xpire Idea is to use filesystem specific structures (eg. snapshots) if possible to prevent long treewalks for searching and store the dates in the filesystem itself not a seperate database. It's written in go and currently supports btrfs snapshots and zfs datasets.

Man, this is absolutely awesome. This has the feeling of being the next wordle or a similar quick hit type game. Really impressive.
