Still plugging away on Cassava, a CSV editor that sits somewhere between sublime text and Excel: https://cassava.dev/ . Our most recent releases added first-class xls/xlsx file opening and an autofill handle. The project goals are simple: * Treat CSV files like first-class spreadsheets; don't do anything that isn't supported by serializing to/from CSV files * Be as performant as your favorite text editor while retain…

This is so cool! I just bought a license.

AI quant trading (so that I have another income and can stop being threatened by managers that if I don't meet their unrealistic expecations that I won't have food on the table next year). So far it's going well, 30000% gains on my initial capital in 3 months very gradually over 100K trades. But I need to build some more sleeves because (a) the edge could die any time (b) I hit capacity of that edge and it can only g…

I call BS on 30,000% return in 3 months. If true, OMG!

I am working on making a home manager over text. You text your shopping list as you remember things to buy and when you want to order, you text fulfill. I am using Kroger api behind the scene and reasoning over items that are returned, best picks are the ones that you have already ordered before and the first time item picks are governed by the family preferences you have texted.

There is no website so no UI to maintain, it is just text. You text ‘connect’ to the number, it asks you zip code and once your store is set, all you do then is to text the items. I have been including things like texting ‘seasonal’, which picks the seasonal items and add to your shopping cart. I am having a lot of fun with it since it is hot in Seattle , peaches are in season and the home manager ‘made’ me a peach burrata salad.

Currently only works if your main store is in the QFC/Kroger family. Email in bio if you would like to try!

This past week I've been working on the spreadsheets in https://blackbear.app hoping to get the latest changes released sometime today -- how do you think they stack up? also how are you testing performance?

(note, you can test the spreadsheets by continuing through the login page at https://my.blackbear.app as an anonymous user)

I'm looking for brutal feedback for my game that I'm working on. I'm working on a cozy voxel game with RPG and platforming elements. Still early days, so I'm still figuring things out. Players play on their own private instances. The world is very malleable as player instances are based on a "master tape" world that I maintain. After creation that fork is the players own, and they do whatever they want. You can play…

Need some more feedback when preparing. Said «preparing» 10 seconds on 500 Mbit WiFi with iPhone. Unsure if it’s not working or still downloading.
