I have two side projects. The first is a PDF reader that persists reading state between devices and has a queryable notes overlay. For this project I am using SwiftUI and targeting iPhones and desktop MacOS. The second centers around exploring how to conduct interactive virtual lessons in VR using Mozilla hubs.

Primary: Saasform, landing page for saas with auth & payments (very alpha). https://github.com/saasform/saasform

Secondary: MultiPreview, replace images when you share blog posts -- micro-saas built on saasform (just put it online yday night, full of bugs lol). https://multipreview.com

My main project is a self-hosted analytics platform: https://www.usertrack.net

I am still struggling to accomplish my goal of becoming sustainable by focusing on the self-hosted part instead of the SaaS part, but I'm not giving up. I do think that self-hosting is the future! :)

My main side project is: https://minecraft-playdates.com Minecraft server hosting for parents. This is a fully fleshed out and working service with paying customers.

My secondary project is https://golang-labs.com. With this one, I'm exploring whether there is a need for an enterprise focused module proxy for Golang. The issues I see with the public proxy are: build repeatability, license compatibility, and information security. Please reach out if this is something you care about.

I have been working on Exomind (https://github.com/appaquet/exomind), a personal knowledge management tool that takes the form of a unified inbox in which you can have your emails, tasks, notes and bookmarks organized into collections. I have an iOS and a web/electron client at the moment, and a simple Chrome extension for bookmarking.

Its backend, Exocore (https://github.com/appaquet/exocore), is built on top of a personal / private blockchain and is made from the ground up to be hosted in a semi-decentralized fashion on your own personal devices (your computer, raspberry pi, a cloud instance, etc.). It is written in Rust and has iOS, C and Web (WASM) clients.

It has very rough edges, but I'm using it daily to organize my life. It has also been my learning playground to improve my Rust skills over the last two years. If all goes well, I'm a few months away from some kind of tech preview.

Is your PDF reader open sourced? It's a feature I'd like to implement at some point in my own personal project (https://github.com/appaquet/exomind)
