#2Working on new code review tooling specifically for reviewing your own branches/commits when you use an "AI Agent" to assist with writing code. It seems all of the tools people are building in this space attempt to automate away the review, but I want better tools for reviewing (and tracking tech debt) in the code I just generated locally. Will publish here soon

#3> What are you working on?
Myself, mostly. Trying to wrestle with realizing how much time I've not been spending on my supposedly main project[1] and questioning whether it's really worth doing.
> Any new ideas that you're thinking about?
Way too many. Writing todo lists is part of working on myself.
[1]: PAPER, a pure-Python ~(pip/pipx replacement), from scratch with an emphasis on simplicity and elegance. https://github.com/zahlman/paper . There's more locally that I haven't pushed, including factoring some stuff out into a separate project and planning more of the same. But yeah.

An AI based time tracker: reconstructs your day from whatever it sees you doing. Screenshot based but never stores them.
The same tech stack is pretty easily adaptable to openclaw tracking. If anybody would like to try, DM
Also looking into AI based security tools for monitoring security of DoneThat. Thinking of using zeropath would love to hear if people tried them / have other suggestions

#5I'm building a free alternative to SimpleCitizen (YC S16).
It's a free USCIS form-filling web-app(no Adobe required). USCIS forms still use XFA PDFs, which don’t let you edit in most browsers. Even with Adobe, fields break, and getting the signature is hard.
So I converted the PDF form into modern, browser-friendly web forms - and kept every field 1:1 with the original. You fill the form, submit it, and get the official USCIS PDF filled.
I found out simplecitizen offers a DIY plan for $529 (https://www.simplecitizen.com/pricing/)
So, a free (and local-only) version might be a good alternative

#6A substack for 80/20 life advice and behaviour change.
Full project: https://euzoia.org
Tried to be super low-tech: Notion, super.so, Spotify creators, riverside.
Now thinking of building an email-based agent for behaviour change accountability. Would love any pointers to good UX for email-based AI assistants.

#7I'm working to figure out new auxetic geometries for 3D lattices. The arrowhead is cool and simple, and gyroids are very effective, but I'm trying to discover if there's something simple, printable, and maximally effective. Tough problem. There's no general theory for auxetic lattices, so it's a matter of reasoning from the desired mechanism to find patterns that fit, almost like alchemical trial-and-error.

It's an infinite canvas that runs SQL.
I've been working with data my entire career. I feel like we need to alt+tab so much. What if we just put it all on a canvas?
Currently very WIP, but there's a simple titanic demo available!
Built with tldraw and duckdb wasm, running on cloudflare durable objects

Cool!
This feels like it will very easily segway into corporate "spyware" if you ever start doing enterprise plans.
What's your take on that?
