I'm building a simulation training to master online self-defense.

I take the principles of martial art and apply it to online safety against all the current threats.

This is a browser-based simulation game where you train and learn detecting threats and dark patterns in a safe environment.

I've build it in Python/Flask as a solo maker.

Any suggestions are welcome!

I'm building Flock, a social goal tracking and intentions app. Styled a little around Complice/Intend, but with more of a focus on working in public with your friends and colleagues - see what they're working on, track your intentions against specific goals.

Building out reviews now - so you can systematically review your progress against your goals to stay on track. Give it a try, and add me as a friend! https://www.flockwith.me/u/henryaj

I’ve been working on a terminal-native AI coding tool called Aye Chat.

The idea is to remove the copy/paste/review loop entirely. Instead of asking an AI for code and then manually approving and applying it, the tool writes directly to files in your folder and automatically snapshots everything so you can diff or instantly undo if it gets something wrong.

It lives entirely in the terminal, so you can prompt the AI, run tests, open vim, refactor, restore changes, all in one flow. The bet is that with current models, the main bottleneck is the human, not LLM.

It’s open source and still very early, but we already have a steady cohort of users - as the flow is sticky after the "aha" moment. Repo is here if anyone’s curious, give it a star if you like the idea: https://github.com/acrotron/aye-chat

Happy to answer questions or hear skepticism :)

I am still working on my helpdesk. An easy to use self-hosted IT Helpdesk system for small IT teams. Vibe coding it with VSCode and CoPilot. I started this project when I needed my own helpdesk and didnt want to pay a fortune online providers. It runs on Python with Flask and Sqalchemy. It can be ran from the python files, or the executable is portable and can be ran from any windows computer. It stays in the network but I run with a ZeroTier connection so I can access it from anywhere without the risk of it being live on the internet.

Features I have implemented so far: Ticketing (duh), Email va MS Graph for MS office, Documents for info/repeat answers, Purchasing, Inventory, Projects -group of tickets)

New features I just added in the last month is Ticket Approvals if you need a managers approval for purchasing something or assigning a licenses to someone.

I shared this last month, but I’m still having a lot of fun working on it. I made a daily word puzzle called Tiled Words. https://tiledwords.com Currently about 2,000 people play every day and I’ve released 59 puzzles! One feature I’m excited about is crowdsourcing puzzles. Today’s puzzle is a “community puzzle” made entirely from clues that players submitted! I plan to do this every week or two. I wrote about launch…

My partner and I have been playing this almost every morning. We're really enjoying it!

Some feedback: 1) it would be great if the incomplete clues could move to the top. this would avoid having to scroll down towards the end of the puzzle. 2) better collission behavior; it would be nice if we could drag a chunk of words and it would just "move the other words" out of the way. Sometimes we have to spend time to make a path to move chunks of words around.

Thanks for building this!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blazingban... Completely free, no ads, no in-app purchases and no accounts / network required offline voice transcription. I have also built the macOS/Windows/Linux versions which I'll also make free to download and available on my site soon ( https://blazingbanana.com/ ). iOS version is built and works (extremely well), just waiting for the Apple Developer signup pro…

Whoa cool, so all the transcription is done locally? Have you done any perf monitoring around that on iOS?

I have been using the iOS built in speechTranscriber and it is... not great, was gonna use a whisper API but running it on device would be amazing if it isn't too heavy.

I don't have anything to show for it yet, but I'm rebuilding my dotfiles from scratch with a (hopefully) reusable framework that I want to open source some day. I don't know if it'll be useful to anyone else as I have very strong opinions about how this kind of stuff works, but hey, maybe someone else will find it useful. I'm inspired to do this because I realized the other day that computers....aren't fun for me anymore? So I'm taking the opportunity to make my computer mine again rather than continuing to rely on VSCode and all the automated config my company drops on our machines.

In other news, my first astrophotography rig is _finally_ mostly fully put together, and I'm going to try to go out and do some captures tomorrow night!

A WhatsApp store link.

Instead of sending products details one by one, you send your store link, your customers browse through your products, add to cart and the cart is sent directly to you.

Also works for those who have hit the 500 product limit on WhatsApp.
