Working on Daigest (https://daige.st) — it monitors your industry using AI.

You pick keywords and sources (news sites, blogs, YouTube, communities), and it sends you a summary on a schedule you set. Basically Google Alerts but it actually reads the content and gives you a digest instead of a list of links.

Built it because I was spending 30+ min/day manually checking the same sites for industry news. Now it's a 3-minute read every morning.

It's free to start if anyone here does this kind of monitoring.

I started working on Midway a few months ago. This is an app to find direct flights to common destinations from different cities. I meet my best friend every year, and we are living on a different continent. It's surprisingly not easy to find common destinations because of the seasonal flights, airlines’ schedules, etc.

The app is here: https://app.midway.travel (still in beta!) The landing page is here: https://www.midway.travel

Working on https://2cents.club/ - it's a simple site to get cashback on travel (and soon retail).

We're backend engineers, so we used AI to build the frontend while focused on the backend logic. It's been a wild ride trying to make AI-generated UI responsive, but it allowed us to ship.

We realized that our registration was (still is) a friction. We moved from a forced sign-up model to a no registration required flow to get people to their travel links (Booking.com/Expedia) faster.

You can now withdraw via bank account or crypto wallet. Looking for feedback on the UX as we move to add the retail soon -_-

I’m working on Mnexium, a memory + context layer for AI apps.

It handles persistent chat history, long-term semantic memory, user profiles, agent state, and rolling summarization.

It sits between your app and the model and works across OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini — you can switch models without losing context and still maintain memories.

The goal is to stop every team from re-implementing slightly broken memory systems, and to make memory user-owned and portable instead of tied to a single model or vendor.

Currently live with JS/TS and Python SDKs. Looking for feedback if anyone has any - good idea, bad idea? etc.

I built https://measuretocut.com after too many DIY projects ended with another trip to the hardware store. It figures out how much material you actually need and how to cut it to minimize waste or costs. When I released it in December it just handled 1D cuts for things like boards, bars, and pipes. You enter what you need, and it lays everything out visually on stock lengths. This morning I released the 2D sheet cut…

I've always dreamed of a house plan that took this into account - imagine all the wall studs being uncut and used as delivered from the truck, each wall length designed to not need drywall cuts ...

Been building Spore, a distributed AI inference platform where you run models on your own hardware and access them from anywhere. The idea is you keep data control while participating in a credit economy to access more powerful models when needed.

Major updates over the last 6 weeks: Built a cross-platform CLI for running your own inference node. Handles auth, model management, and serving through a single command.

Shipped an OpenAI-compatible API with streaming and tool calling. Added web search to the chat interface.

Rewrote the job queue to guarantee FIFO ordering per model+context and fixed a race condition causing out-of-order assignments. Added circuit breakers for connection stability.

Wrapping up alpha testing in the next couple weeks, then inviting people from the email list into beta: https://sporeintel.com

I'm working on a new theory of management. I was explaining leadership to someone and they said I should write a book about it. In the same week I was explaining another aspect and got the same response. I think management has been overcomplicated by people trying to codify it. I think MBAs and systems like EOS try to dumb everyone down to inhuman lowest-common-denominator robots. That is the main cause of the produc…

"Not sure how to get progress".

Maybe make small audio recordings and get them transcribed?

Or a notebook and scribble out all thoughts by hand?

Just get all your thoughts out of your head onto "paper" is the first step. Don't even think about the second step yet.

I'm a solo dev building a handful of apps across different niches.. - Kvile ( https://kvile.app ) — A lightweight desktop HTTP client built with Rust + Tauri. Native .http file support (JetBrains/VS Code/Kulala compatible), Monaco editor, JS pre/post scripts, SQLite-backed history. Sub-second startup. MIT licensed, no cloud, your requests stay on your machine. Think Postman without the bloat and login walls. - Mockin…

Beautiful apps! Well done

I like the idea of Kvile, I hate Postman with passion -- but I'm having difficulty getting started - I expected a screen to start creating a network request; it asked me to add a folder so I did it and now the Collections is spinning (it's an empty folder, so not sure what's it doing?) and I still don't have a screen to create the HTTP request itself. Do I need the .http files, i.e. Kvile doesn't give you the editor?

Egregore (https://egregore.xyz). multiplayer cognition for Claude Code. been building this with my co-founder at curve labs.

there's a lot of good work happening on agent memory right now. but it's all single-player. your agent remembers what you did. it has no idea what your co-founder just spent four hours figuring out. we kept solving the same problems twice, or discovering decisions the other had made only when something broke.

the missing piece wasn't better memory. it was shared memory. not 'sync your notes,' but a layer where the act of one person working becomes context for the next person's session automatically.

egregore adds this shared cognition layer on top of claude code. your team shares tooling, knowledge, and skills that evolve with how you actually work. you get full visibility into what the organisation is doing, not through dashboards, but because the memory is right there when your agent starts a session. handoffs between team members, structured reflection on workflows, a knowledge graph that connects decisions to who made them and why.

we've been running on this internally for about a month and honestly the difference is hard to go back from. the organisation has its own continuity now. context stopped being something you maintained and became something that just accumulated from working.

terminal-first, git-native. we just launched and are looking for early alpha testers. if you're building with claude code in a small team, happy to give early access if you want to try it!

I'm building a password tray app. It's tiny cross-platform app (spotlight like search) for people who juggle multiple password managers and browser profiles. It gives you a global quick search to find and copy credentials from different sources, regardless of browser or profile.

Of anyone is curious: https://pwtray.app
