#3Just writing about learnings from failed startup attempts: https://developerwithacat.com
Might start doing a few posts on Cloudflare WAF as I've been working with it extensively lately. Maybe it'll help me uncover some startup ideas in that space.

#4I've been working on an new approach to working with SQL:
https://5QL.site
You select columns and then just drill down to create further joins. Change the SQL text and it updates the view.
I'm a CS undergrad would love feedback.

#5Just launched a little form-tool to integrate feedback gathering into all of my projects easily. Decided to make a standalone thing out of it.
As simple and personal as can be. Straight to inbox.
Optimized for coding agents DX through full customization and data appending by url parameters.

#6I kept finding myself having to write mini backends for LLM features in apps, if for no other reason than to keep API keys out of client code. Even with Vercel's AI SDK, you still need a (potentially serverless) backend to securely handle the API calls.
I've been working on an open source LLM proxy that handles the boring stuff. Small SDK, call OpenAI or Anthropic from your frontend, proxy manages secrets/auth/limits/logs.
As far as I know, this is the first way to add LLM features without any backend code at all. Like what Stripe does for payments, Auth0 for auth, Firebase for databases.
It's TypeScript/Node.js with JWT auth with short-lived tokens (SDK auto-handles refresh) and rate limiting. Very limited features right now but we're actively adding more.
Currently adding bring-your-own-auth (Auth0, Clerk, Firebase, Supabase) to lock down the API even more.

#7"Intelligent Workspace":

In lieu of chatbots as the primary means of working with AI.
This is an approach that is human centered and intended to accommodate a wide array of possible use cases where human interaction/engagement is essential for getting work done.

#8I'm writing an encrypted and padded IP tunnel to help people build their own multi-hop circuits to access the internet anonymously, without Tor, and with protection from end-to-end correlation attacks.
