https://watchmy.cloud/ - a smoke detector for your AWS bill Remember the joke that there are two types of people: those who do backups, and those who will? I think it's the same with AWS billing alerts. I was looking for a real pain point to solve. After scraping Reddit, I realized many people struggle with the exact same thing that happened to me: I launched a big AWS EC2 instance alongside AWS Bedrock, played with…

impressive, looks good

I've been plugging away at a dev tool for a while and trying to find PMF (sound familiar?). Usual challenge: there's a lot of different things we can do but finding the right niche has been difficult.

The most compelling use case has been surfacing in a collaborative review env. We've had installs using it to consolidate the fix-it feedback rather than decipher screenshots from Slack or tickets from Linear. They're using our product as an instant DevOps stand-in, hosting branch-based review environments and allowing in stakeholders to comment directly or even propose a simple fix (copy, color, etc. - things that shouldn't need a ticket).

I'm wondering if this is just a use case for smaller teams w/o dedicated DevOps or more valuable for review in general. Anyhow, try it if you have time or interest: review.somethingelse.ai - it's been fun to build and we're thinking this may be the right area to spend more of our development time.

Still working on AI Hacker Newsletter, a weekly newsletter on top of Hacker News, with the most upvoted and discussed links. Currently at 1150 subscribers, started in November 2025. Growth is slow, but my goal is to reach 2000 at the 1-year anniversary mark, so let's see where this goes.

Steady 40-45% open rates (probably normal for such a small and growing newsletter), click rates at 7-8%.

im developing some FOSS cybersec tools lately and im getting some nice feedback so it motivates me, the tools are

Skewrun -> a tool that solves the Kerberos KRB_AP_ERR_SKEW (Clock Skew Too Great) error, allowing you to run tools like Impacket or NetExec from a Linux attack machine whose clock is heavily desynchronized from the target Windows domain, without requiring root privileges to change the system time. (https://github.com/JVBotelho/skewrun)

GhostHound -> an Bloodhound opengraph lib that deals with Tombstone reanimation as a BloodHound attack path, enumerating CN=Deleted Objects and who can restore them (https://github.com/JVBotelho/ghosthound), this one even landed in Bloodhound's documentation as community lib
