I'm working on my fourth attempt at a first novel :D

In all seriousness, I am about 10k words into a new draft I started a couple weeks ago. It's a far-future post-catastrophe sci fi type story, with some inspiration taken from Dune and a whole bunch of post-collapse fiction. Writing is tough between a full time job, a toddler, and a social life, but I've managed to squeeze in at least a few sessions a week. Hopefully this will be the one that actually lands!

I am building Klava: a privacy-first BlackBerry-inspired iOS keyboard (https://www.klava.space/)

Klava got: - Themes that are based on BlackBerry, Windows Phone and other OSs / aesthetics - Above-word suggestions that you can flick up, it's super nice + on-device LM - Gestures: swipe left to delete words and such - Full customisation: turn stuff on and off (incl. things mentioned above) as you will - Slack-like emoji suggestions such as :fire - 25+ languages - And more stuff cooking

Showing some love on today's ProductHunt launch would be appreciated immensely y'all :) https://www.producthunt.com/products/klava

I'm working on Telebrain - a fork of Telegram Desktop with an integrated AI Copilot: https://github.com/fedorn/telebrain

It allows chatting with AI in the context of any Telegram chat (at the moment, using the last 30 messages in the current chat).

The Completions API endpoint is fully configurable, so you can plug in most cloud LLM providers or run against a local model.

And we just made our first release today: https://github.com/fedorn/telebrain/releases/tag/v6.5.1

I've been building a landing page for Glance ( https://glance-fi.app/ ) to figure out whether anyone actually wants this before I go deep on it. It's a finance app (I know — another one, stay with me here) that skips budgeting entirely, instead tracking spending and trends. It learns your spending patterns and flags anomalies — DoorDash doubled, weekly spending is above normal, a subscription you forgot about is stil…

I like that idea in concept - I’ve often felt similarly about budgeting apps. Many of them feel targeted either at low income / high debt people (who need strict control to manage their way out), or at people who have a strong interest in optimising their finances.

I’m trying to find a middle ground though I think. I’m not strongly acquisitive - but want to be sensible about my finances. There needs to be a purpose to tracking and allocating - so I’d want intelligent prompting (e.g “you could easily move £x to a higher rate account each month and maintain a balance that will meet your outgoings”), as well as answering my own queries. I’ve seen that promise in other products - but it’s nearly always in a free product that uses those prompts to sell you financial products. I’d personally much rather pay for impartiality.

I'm working on VideoToBe — a audio and video Transcription service with an AI chat layer. Whisper for transcription, then you can chat with your recordings instead of rewatching.

Also building simple tools for simple task such as converting audio-to-video to post on youtube and more for business users who find Premiere/Final Cut overkill for basic tasks. videotobe.com

I'm doing a challange to build and ship 25 projects in 25 weeks. It's been tough as hell. I'm on week 16. The goal is to build cool, interesting sites for my newsletter to show that the old web is still alive and well. https://randomdailyurls.com

https://concludia.org/ - I've mentioned it here before, it's a site to help people reason through and understand arguments together. No real business purpose for it yet, it's more an idea I've had for years and have been wanting to see it through to something actually usable. You can graphically explore arguments, track their logical sufficiency/necessity, and make counterpoints. It's different than other types of ar…

This is an interesting idea. Have you considered this in the context of arbitration? For example, if you integrate your favorite LLM and reference the relevant legal code, you can obtain a consensus outcome? Kinda like robo-arbitration.

edit: Another application - arbitrating divorce settlement without lawyers. I admit this is a little dark.

I'm working on a new theory of management. I was explaining leadership to someone and they said I should write a book about it. In the same week I was explaining another aspect and got the same response. I think management has been overcomplicated by people trying to codify it. I think MBAs and systems like EOS try to dumb everyone down to inhuman lowest-common-denominator robots. That is the main cause of the produc…

I think your post here is a good start. Sharing it in small bits rather than one big book is a better approach in my opinion.
