Building a little CLI tool that stores API requests and spins up a small REST server that allows them to be pinged. This stemmed from being on a flight, not wanting to buy WiFi, or the WiFi being slow and I just want to build something around an API.

I called it gofaux: https://github.com/tjb/gofaux

I'm working on a 3D infinite canvas of text, focusing on code. Runs on iPhone, iPad, macOS so they can all act as separate viewports into a space. You can point the app at a repository, download a copy locally, instantly render the entire repository into space in less than a second in most cases, and then fly around and search for text. I just got an optimization working for larger files and it's kinda fun how much e…

You should add another use to it which is exploring live in-memory object graphs of applications. Make some adapter library to allow getting those objects from apps that want to use and then you can fly through the data being processed. For debugging, exploration and education. I'm using a basic version of this idea for debugging: https://github.com/Quiark/overlog

I've thought about this a lot, and `overlog` looks awesome! I appreciate you validating the use case. I've seen a lot of apps that have something like this - either an open socket that runs that allows the app to consume data, or like you mentioned, something that you install via a small library and output something readable. Either one sounds feasible, honestly. I'd love to chat with you about this, maybe see if we can some up with something - it's super useful to have lots of data like this on screen at once!

I'm still working on Habitat. It's a self-hosted social platform for local communities. The plan is for it to be federated, but that's a while off yet. I want it to be easily installable for those who want to host using docker, and for those who want to host on an EC2 instance or something, because online services for docker hosting are quite expensive, so I've been working recently on ansible setup, and it's proving…

This seems similar (or identical?) to Jodel (jodel.com).

Over a weekend last month - at an AI hackathon made https://nonfungibledocs.com

Create variations of your content, so that you can backtrack the source of a leak.

Just changing 5 words in various places of a page of a doc, it can back track 1200 variations. It uses technology from multivariate testing and natural language processing although I have a version that can/avoid using LLMs as well.

## Why Now

With over 1,800 data breaches in the U.S. in 2022 alone, and rising regulatory pressures from GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA, companies must prioritize information security.

Traditional methods like NDAs and basic data encryption fail to identify the source of leaks, leaving companies vulnerable

The global enterprise data protection SaaS market was valued at $7.9 billion in 2023, expected to grow to $20.1 billion by 2028. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions are set to grow at a 21% CAGR through 2028, while Information Rights Management (IRM) solutions will reach $1.1 billion.

## My ask

an intro to Apple or a large firm for whom document/email leaks are a real threat and want to pilot a solution that can be self hosted.
