PAX ERP - full ERP + CRM for small manufacturers (5-50 people). Accounting, inventory, manufacturing, and CRM in one system. No QuickBooks dependency, no implementation fees, 3-day go-live.

Built it originally for internal use inside a medical device shop. The people running production were the same people responsible for financial accuracy, so every transaction (receiving a PO, issuing materials, completing production) auto-generates GL entries through database triggers. No configuration step, no separate accounting department required.

Current focus: SEO and content - competitor comparison pages (vs Fishbowl, vs Odoo, etc.), compliance landing pages for FDA/ISO 13485, blog posts targeting long-tail manufacturing ERP keywords. Building from 3 backlinks to 20-30.

Competing against Fishbowl (QuickBooks add-on), Odoo (powerful but a lot to configure), and the incumbent answer of spreadsheets + QuickBooks.

I'm building Rep Sheet (https://repsheet.fit) — a workout tracker where you upload a picture of your program (a PDF, whiteboard, coach's spreadsheet) and it's parsed into a structured plan you can log against.

Early days — would love feedback from anyone who's interested.

I continue to add more features to my search-and-replace tool for Windows (https://www.abareplace.com/). I initially built in for myself and it was one of the first incremental grep implementations (allowing you to see the results as you are typing the search pattern). Now it supports various formats like Base64, URL encoding, or timestamp conversions. With one-liners, you can add width/height attributes to tags or insert file contents.

Building Tap — turns browser automation into deterministic programs. The idea: you forge a tap once (AI-assisted inspection of the page), then run it forever at zero AI cost. Working on the Chrome extension + MCP integration so Claude Code and Cursor can use it directly.

The interesting problem is reliability: sites change, taps break. So the second half of the project is doctor/heal — automatic diagnostics that cross-validate what the tap extracts against the page's structured data (JSON-LD, ARIA). Feels like writing a compiler that also has a test suite built in.

My mother is living alone in her house and we are getting to the point where she might not be able to live alone. I built "Still Kicking", a picture frame that monitors her motion and sends back basic reports and can detect falls and sleep quality to a phone app, to help give her more time at home. It's just an mmWave sensor connected to an ESP32. But it works nicely, and I'm thinking of starting a company making the…

Pretty cool... I dabbled into the idea of having a super simple tablet on a frame with a one-touch call function to family members - obviously with a camera and much different, but also revolving about the photo frame idea.

I've been writing a 'book' (more of an extended blog post that I'd like to put out for free) attempting to explain quantum computing to a layman-ish audience. I sort of got inspired to do this after seeing so many QC PR posts on HN, and finding the educational material in this space to be either too academic, too narrow in scope, or totally facile. I think given the incredible hype (and potential promise) of this ind…

As a comparison, take a look at this book -> https://nostarch.com/quantum-computing. I found it very accessible!
