At the risk of sounding like I am kidding, I am building a personal productivity application. While the world is full of "todo" apps, they are essentially list management systems. They vary in aesthetics and mechanics but none of them help you do the hugely valuable work of planning years out and then driving your weekly planning and daily activity off these huge goals. More so, they profoundly fail to keep you accou…

Have you seen WorkFlowy? It doesn’t sound like what you’re looking for exactly, but it’s easy to contextualize small goals with larger goals in that app, by just using nested lists

Not affiliated with them in any way, just a happy user

Just started a new job, so had to take a break while I get my routines sorted out, but before that was making semi-interactive sites for my short stories to live in. The latest one was a trio of short stories embedded in a... html puzzle box I guess? Anyway, it's up here: https://3ai.highvoltageclouds.com/

It's reasonably unexciting but I am writing an article about "What I wish I had known before starting my custom software development agency"... I know, I know - those titles are kinda lame - but it captures it pretty well, as the piece is about a younger me (8 years ago) being visited by an older, wider, and slightly fatter me, and imparting some key learnings about the world of client services, and more generally ru…

"wider, and slightly fatter". No need to be so hard on yourself... any wiser though? :)

I have 3 side projects that I’m splitting my time between. - a browser extension that will reverse engineer a site’s APIs by analyzing network traffic and then compiling them into standardized specifications. - API based financial derivative calculations that will calculate more than just the BSM. - Just another financial market / economic analytics platform.

That extension sounds really interesting. Is there any way to know when it’s released?

Resurrecitng an old MMO. I have the client source, and sources to the server of the MMO prior to it that use similar ideas, and debug data dumps of data structures, but no server software. so writing that from scratch. Time consuming, but it was my first MMO so its sentimental.

I work mostly around multimedia, so a few video-related tools I've been working on lately: 1. FFmpeg command generator: https://alfg.github.io/ffmpeg-commander/ 2. Web-based MP4 File Inspector: https://github.com/alfg/mp4-inspector 3. Web-based FFProbe: https://github.com/alfg/ffprobe-wasm 4. Rust MP4 library: https://github.com/alfg/mp4-rust Also, trying to get a bit more familiar with Rust and Web Assembly.

Wow, I love the FFmpeg command generator. Have a use for it already. Thank you!

A new general purpose build system that uses a VM to cache configuration files compiled from a multitude of formats (Camera, Ninja, Makefiles, etc) with a focus on cross-compilation. Should be suitable for projects of any size if I can pull it off.

Been thinking about and designing various build systems for 10 years, so this is a big project for me. I personally desperately need it; CMake and I have a love-hate relationship but I think it's finally time to figure out something better.

I have mentioned this twice before on HN, and I have been making progress: I am interested in creating "compact" (self-defined, non-standard term) machine learning models. A compact model is a smaller version of a model that in getting its size reduced tries to lose out on as little accuracy as possible.

I have a library now, that implements a subset of my promising ideas so far [1]. I am not done polishing and testing the implementation yet - hence, version [1] https://compactem.readthedocs.io/
