I've been working on this for a while now. It creates a sort of AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md table for your database which holds all the joins, definitions, formats, and relationships, as well as what are popular criteria sets and combinations.
And it populates it into a bi-directional visual (round-trip) SQL editor. Make changes in the UI or SQL text, it goes both ways.
It's a single HTML file.

#4I'm working on Spacecap: https://github.com/mgerb/spacecap
It's a screen recording tool for Linux. The goal is to make it as fast and efficient as possible, while also being simple to use and install. It's just a hobby project that I am having fun working on. Here are some notable things about it:
- Written in Zig
- Uses Vulkan Video for encoding
- UI built with SDL3 and imgui
- Features recording, replay buffer, and screenshots

Since I could not find anything out there, I am scratching my own itch.

https://wafertown.com // the first LLMORPG, you write a prompt and your character "lives" through a simulation of life using it as a guide, interacts with others, etc. sends you a summary of what it did and allows you to steer it for next day. think of it as a small tamagotchi but with hundreds (hopefully thousands!) of other players
