#943I've been building https://consciousnesslibrary.org , an open library for psychedelic and consciousness research that pulls from over a dozen academic APIs every 20 minutes, dedupes them, organizes by relevance, and synthesizes evidence. I just finished my master's in Psychedelics and Consciousness Studies, and built the library I wanted while studying. I started it over a year ago, but put it down until my practicum…

#945I made Beacon, a mobile app for answering: “which friend 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…

#946AI 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…

#947It started with a naive "I know the tricks, let put them in an app" based on my own travel experience and quickly turned into a pretty nasty constrained optimization problem to optimize a cost function while keeping the schedule realist. So far I have been slowly releasing with friends and family, but I am pretty happy with the results as it can handle pretty complex combination of flights and layovers, compared to other similar apps.
If anyone wants to poke at it, I'd love to have some feedback! https://www.jetlagcoach.com

#948I kept losing thoughts. An idea would show up while walking, half a sentence before falling asleep, some random connection I knew I’d want later — and by the time I found the right app to write it down, it was gone.
So I built Lapse for myself.
It’s a memory layer that my AI agents can read from and write to. I can talk to it, dump a thought, or send it something half-formed. I don’t have to worry about folders or organizing anything. The agent figures out where it belongs.
There’s MCP for Claude, a simple HTTP API for everything else, and an iPhone Shortcut for quick voice capture. There is alos a chrome extension that pops up on selecting a text & lets you log it as a lapse.
This is a closed system which you can use for various use-cases like Journaling, Meeting Notes, Reminder, Second Brain etc.. I’ve been using it every day for a few weeks (150+ lapses) now, mostly for the little things I would've otherwise forgotten.
It’s still a very personal project, but it’s becoming a surprisingly useful place for my thoughts to live. There are few other users as well.

#950I'm having some success doing work on my own, so I decided to create a version of my site for the US, specializing in providing maintenance services for WordPress sites. It is not the most intellectual work, but I enjoy helping small businesses with problems that can really affect them: https://us.alprado.com
It's definitely a viable business!
