building a tool for working with various types of data (for example for organizing workshop jobs, handling orders, managing buildings, ..., just all kinds of data);

I recorded a quick walkthrough video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skK6xMJxttk

(if you want to join the beta, you can create an account for free: https://www.tnxapi.com/UI/CreateAccount.php I'd be happy to hear your feedback)

I've been working on a web-based multiplayer game that allows the player to act as a Head Coach of a college football team.

https://head.ball.coach/

I started working on this in my free time in 2010 or 2011, and initially used it as a project to learn databases, cloud, et cetera. I never actually set out to be a game developer!

So this is my first attempt at game design, and has its share of issues, but I'm proud of it.

I'm building MyLLM, a (another) private AI assistant for iPhone, it runs models on-device (llama.cpp + Metal) or against your own server, so nothing leaves your phone.

The fun part lately has been MyLLMos: the assistant builds HTML/Python apps on the fly, and you keep the ones you like in a gallery to re-run. It's slowly becoming a home screen for things your AI made for you. There's also an app marketplace, it's all free and open, HTML5 based, can be edited in the app or you can get the like of 'Fable' to generate an advance code and the app will happily store it and run it on your iPhone.

I'm building an RF monitoring system.

It can tell you things like:

- The car that parked nearby last night coincided with a "Derek's Galaxy Buds" device with MAC address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff. The buds also drove by briefly the previous night.

- Alert on sudden cross-specturm disturbance (e.g. burglars using a cheap jammer to disable WiFi cameras).

- Alert on known device contact loss (powered off / left premises).

- Review device movement across a campus/neighborhood (using multiple listening pods).

I have a working PoC. It can run on a cheap, low-power computer (e.g. Raspberry Pi) supporting multiple RF sensors (BT/BLE/WiFi). Has a web UI. Can publish events to an external security system. Currently working on an LLM interface to make it trivial for a non-technical operator to set policies and ask questions about events.

Could be sold as an appliance or a license for a DIY build.

I made Beacon, a tiny iOS app for answering: “which of my friends is free to talk right now?”

It’s basically a one-to-many phone call that only one person can answer. Send a beacon to a group, and everyone gets rung at the same time. The first person who answers gets connected for a 1-1 call, and for everyone else the signal drops silently. No missed-calls or pressure to answer. Works pretty well given most people keep their phones on silent (and there are in-app settings for quiet hours too).

iOS/TestFlight only for now. It works best if you're able to join with at least four people you don't speak with as much as you'd like. I have a couple dozen connections on the app now, and it feels like magic to me. Would love feedback from both introverts and extroverts who still like phone calls, or wish they had more of them:

Android coming soon!

You're monitoring all the available channels and then correlating them together?

I'm still working on a self-hosted search service called Hister with the goal to reduce dependence on online search engines. Hister is a full text indexer for websites and local files which automatically saves all the visited pages rendered by your browser. It provides offline result previews, a flexible web (and terminal) search interface & query language to explore saved content with ease or quickly fall back to tr…

Hister is a really cool and novel idea. Keep up the good work!
