I've been working on a site that helps you find in-person work in NYC that is actually convenient: https://walkablework.com I recently left a startup I had cofounded after a few years because we were a remote team and I came to the conclusion that we weren't going to be successful without working together in person. I wanted to make this site to help people like me use location as an early filter to find good compani…

There's a site called SwissDevJobs.ch that similarly maps tech jobs down to a neighborhood level. You might want to compare notes, especially on company transparency & community calendars.

I built a simple teleprompter web app to help record talking head videos with the front camera of my MacBook this week. Link: https://camprompter.app The insight is that if you read text from a tiny enough box right below the front camera on the MacBook, it appears as if you're talking to the camera. Boom! Easy Eye Contact With Camera. I scrunched up the Notion app and placed it as well as I could in the safe area to…

Real teleprompters have a person feeding the text at the perfect rate, for pauses, and so on. It'd be an interesting experiment to feed the audio to Whisper or such, roughly match it to the text shown, and control speed based on that.

Open source online backgammon. Backgammon is fairly niche, so there seems to be a lot of opportunity for backgammon software to be developed. I'm taking inspiration from Lichess, having enjoyed playing chess there for years. Check out the server, client and backgammon AI I'm working on at https://bgammon.org (Source code at https://bgammon.org/code )

Interested in this.

I've been learning how to use Blender. For a long time I've thought that working with things in 3D could be made simpler by having an app where your phone is a sort of 3D cursor, and e.g. for modeling you could use your phone as a sculpting knife by moving it around in the air. So I spent some time trying to make an app that allows you to do that, but can't shake the thought that such an app would work better as a Bl…

We are working on Digger.dev - The Vercel for Terraform

Digger automates deployment of IaC like Terraform or OpenTofu. You push Terraform code to GitHub, and it gets planned and applied - like Vercel, but for infrastructure code. You can manage environments, secrets, policies and drift in the web UI.

I have my first Swift/SwiftUI app up on TestFlight! I've always been slightly irked by how Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Yelp manage bookmarking places, so I'm creating a to-do list app that pulls from MapKit and automatically organizes your saved places by neighborhood and city for easy retrieval and in-the-moment decision-making.

I’m a tech nerd rare coin & currency dealer! I took my two hobbies and combined them into a real business and I’m having the time of my life. Just launched a proper retail site here: https://www.rarity7.com/ About 50% of my days are spend doing the coin dealer stuff - hunting for inventory, buying collections/doing appraisals, going to coin shows and buying and selling in person, etc. The other 50% I’m writing code a…

Besides your love for the language and nobody telling you otherwise, why Crystal?
