I am building a cloud hosting company that exposes the cloud as a single docker host. No VMs to manage, just containers and easy controls to set the number of CPUs, RAM, disk that you want your containers to have access to. https://oxpower.io/ Joyent did something like this ~11 years go, and I loved using it, but then they where acquired by Samsung and shut down their public (non-enterprise) offering. This is try 3 a…

Very cool! I have wanted to build exactly this. Have you thought about supporting scale-to-zero?

I ported a decades-old piece of scientific software (Delft3D — Deltares' Fortran hydrodynamics engine) to run natively on Apple Silicon. From my phone, mostly, because I could (and because AI could). Runs pretty decently on a Mac Studio M3 now. It was officially Intel-compiler + Windows/Linux only; the port gets it building with gfortran on macOS/arm64, PETSc+MPI solver and all. Fable and GPT-5.6 chewed through the c…

What do you plan to do next with it?

This month has mostly been personal website. Serious warning - style is an HN ripoff atm, forgive me in advance. Will change in the future to something original or minimal. Migrated my beverages app from notion to an actual webapp my wife and I can use: https://stefanludlow.com/beverages/ Built a bunch of slime mold art: https://stefanludlow.com/art/foraging-network Project I've got in progress is a migration of the…

Interesting. I started a similar project with tbaMUD (continued dev of CircleMUD) to Rust in an effort to learn Rust. I'd offer to help, but am currently consumed with converting to Evennia (Python) right now.

I’m building Feral, an AI agent that learns your business and audience, then creates content that actually resonates with your people.

I built it because I’m terrible at content creation and had a graveyard of under-promoted apps that never went anywhere. I know showing up consistently on socials matters, but I also have a strong aversion to AI slop, so I’ve spent a lot of time and money making the output feel less sloppy.

I built a mobile app that can be your museum companion. You take a photo and hear an AI-generated narration about the exhibit, you can learn more and hear more insightful and detail narration. It's an audio-first app so you don't have to stare at the phone screen and I used the most knowledgable AI and the best voices I can find. I always wanted to walk in a museum/gallery as if I am watching a documentary and finally 2026 is the year all the parts are ready.

Product website: https://manyou.ai/

iOS app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/manyou-museum-gallery-guide/id...

Android: I really wish google has a better developer experience ...

You can try it even if you are not in a museum though the narration would be less relevant.

I'm working for the "Mac as Infrastructure" category at ScaleNinja. Currently building:

DeltaSnap - a version-control & undo layer for AI era for macOS powered by APFS snapshots. (Snapshots have existed for years, so part of me wonders why nobody else built something like this as a standalone product; fwiw this is now among handful apps in the world which Apple/APFS team has blessed to use their private APFS snapshot access API)

https://scaleninja.com/deltasnap/

MacVisor - a versatile virtualizer to run macOS & Linux VMs on Apple Silicon. Can be used as a desktop virtualizer, or as a local virtualization host (a hypervisor app like Proxmox, or libvirt/virsh, but for Mac) or a CLI-driven infra.

My wife and I continue to work on Uruky [1], a simpler Kagi alternative, based in the EU. Last month we reached 200 monthly active accounts (we’ve passed 250 now), and last week we launched support for XMR/Monero payments via ProxyStore [2]! You can also see in our homepage that more independent bloggers and privacy-minded people have written about us! The main differences between Uruky and Kagi, DuckDuckGo, SearXNG,…

How can we trust you?

FixBugs, an agent that ingests the rich context surrounding production bugs to reproduce them in a sandbox and generate verified fixes. It's available in the form of a self-hosted VSCode extension and as a Github app.

VSCode Extension:

  https://fixbugs.ai/go/vscode-extension

  - full code and data privacy.
  - zero data retention models opted out of training.
GitHub App:

  https://fixbugs.ai/go/github-app
  - we do access your code temporarily.
  - pick a repo to install FixBugs on.
Current capabilities:

  - Reproduce the bug.

  - Identify the root cause.

  - Generate a fix.

  - Verify the fix.

  - Review the generated code using multiple AI models to help catch potential regressions.
Do try it and let me know what you think!
