I'm working on my meme making app, Meta Meme https://metameme.app/. It's a meme maker i've had out for a couple years, started as a side project, now generates mid four figures in revenue monthly, recurring. Also just released Token, a new dating app, match making for misfits. https://tokendating.app

Mostly just a toy to learn some AWS/Serverless and security stuff, but a tool similar to burp collaborator for dns / http canaries tied into a slack bot. Essentially request a new canary url, you get back a unique endpoint such as 123456789abcd.detect.domain.com, and any time there is a DNS request or http request of any kind to that canary url it sends a message to a slack bot with relevant info, and includes some geoip data and a static map image of IP locations (via mapbox static image api). Considering doing my own plugin for mitmproxy (similar to burp collaborator everywhere) that can be useful in looking for ssrf vulnerabilities. A couple tools out there that do this, kind of just wanted to build one myself for the learning experience.

AGI research. Just now re-reading Minsky's Society of Mind , and reading Goertzel's Engineering General Intelligence - Volume 1 , and trying to integrate a lot of their ideas with stuff I've been doodling on for some time. In addition to that, I'm working on some BPM stuff, looking into ways to more tightly integrate AI/ML services with automated BPM processes. I also need to build a couple of new bookcases for my li…

Oh hi! Another person looking at AGI I see. I'd love it if you could share your reading list in more detail (anything else?)

It's nothing yet, but I'm trying to hack on ProseMirror(1) and make an easy way to make quizzes (think EdX, or something - cloze, multiple choice, drop-down, etc) that can then be embedded in a page (e.g. export HTML, paste in Ghost CMS).

It needs to be usable by regular people like my teacher.

Learned about ProseMirror here in the thread on Edtr.io. It's very 'lego-y' and I think it'll work well, but the complexity is off-putting.

I'm working on Polar:

https://getpolarized.io/

It's been out for about 1.2 years now and we're really starting to nail some important features.

JUST about to post a new release now.

COVID19 is having us pivot a bit in that we're going to experiment with collaborative group reading in the hopes that students can work more efficiently with their colleagues without having to leave home.

The core idea is to have a fully-integrated reading platform sort of like an integrated development environment but for non-fiction material (textbooks, research papers, documentation, plus web content).

Right now we support PDF and web content but are actively working on EPUB and improved reading of web content.

The key functionality is built around annotating your documents and taking notes and building flashcards so you can maintain a personal knowledge repository.

It's also Open Source and supports cloud sync. We have a mobile webapp now and working on porting it over to Android soon.

Making a generative strength to weight optimizer for 3D printed objects. It's been something I've wanted to try for a while and has been an excellent experience in learning about FEM and mesh generation.

There's been some work on it in the past, but mostly papers or paid apps. I wanted to make something open source and free.
