I'm still working on Fresh Cards[1], a flashcard app I've written for iOS and Mac. I'll admit that it started out as "yet another spaced repetition flashcard app" but over the past few months, with constant UX refinement, I've forged a unique approach (IMHO) to how you review your cards and browse your deck. I've received a lot of good feedback from users in my Discord, so I'm constantly changing things up to improve…

Looks nice, but could not find a way to import my anki deck?

I have some documentation how to do that here: https://www.freshcardsapp.com/help/sharing.html#import

I will say that the Anki import isn't 100% at the moment, but works reasonably well for simpler decks (ones that don't use HTML or javascript). I'd like to get to 100% Anki compatibility, but it will require some additional features to be implemented first, like a templating system.

Harvard CS50, I was coding a bit as a kid in the late 90's in BASIC, and have been in tech most of the past decade, but never went beyond HTML, CSS and grabbing a basic script off Stack Overflow since then, so now I'm trying to learn the foundations of CS and eventually teach myself a language or two so I can evolve from building mini projects in no-code tool to making more meaningful things and more powerful apps.

I'm still working on collAnon[1], a private discussions platform(behind a PWA) with bias avoiding intent through temporary anonymity of the answers(which also means that discussions have an end date).

In the latest development I decided to change route and make it freemium, with all the previous premium features now available to everyone.

This is to make it more appealing to try this kind of discussions that are not your usual way and give ample breath to use all the features until this platform finds its audience I hope ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm working on Cling, a training community for rock climbers.

Rock climbing is a complex, metric-driven, and growing sport that doesn't have good-enough tooling in tech. Outdoor vs indoor is very different, so we're focused on significantly improving the climbing gym experience for now.

Gumroadable.com a tool to turn everyday used apps content to gumroad.com products. Starting with notion MVP

Later on planning to add figma plugin & github repo support for paid software or source code.

The reason is I want to be able to sell ebook while I’m writing and collect feedback from the audience who’s bought on presale.

I’ve been working on needle[1], a CLI tool (and associated library) that can detect openings/intros and endings/credits across TV or anime episodes. It decodes audio, fingerprints it in chunks, and then compares chunks across files to find common sequences.

The end goal is to use the library to build a Jellyfin plugin (C#) that handles skipping intros. I think I’ve figured how to call a C library from C#, but there is a lot of work to do to actually get a functional plugin.

This is an amazing idea

I'm really interested in exploring some AI ideas related to emobidment. To that end, I needed a "body" to put an "AI" in. So I started out by gutting out an old boombox, and putting a Raspberry Pi, a USB powerbank, and a USB charger in there. I also built a power supply multiplexer board that can allow switching from the battery to the charger, and back, without causing the Pi to reboot. And that stage is pretty much…

This sounds like a really fun project! rasp pi cluster could add more computing power for cheaper.

Yeah, I'm fairly excited about getting into it.

Well, I don't have room in the physical case for more Pi's as it stands, and TBH, I'm not terribly interested in running a cluster at home. It might mean spending some money, but I'd rather just do it all in the cloud. One advantage to that is I can easily scale things up and down dynamically, and I can use a mix of CPU and GPU (or even FPGA) instances without having to go out and buy a lot of expensive hardware.

Not to say that I would never bring part of it "on prem" and run out of my home, but right now the cloud approach feels more manageable.
