https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-tab-a... I built this for personal use, but maybe someone else also finds it useful. It's a Firefox add-on that arranges YouTube video tabs based on the runtime of the video. I often hoard many YouTube tabs and at some point I want to either watch the shortest ones or play something lengthy so I can do household chores while listening to the video. This makes fin…

Excuse me, what?! Everytime I think I'm unhappy with Mozilla, I find way more disturbing things at Google.

Cool Add-On btw, I'll try it!

Shred Crew helps skiers and snowboarders find friends and share rides, so they can get up the hill more often.

Right now, it's just a web landing page. I have a mobile app prototype I'm testing with some people, especially focusing on the Vancouver area.

https://RPAnytime.com — it's a site for play-by-post gaming, built for purpose instead of hacked together from forum software. Minimal JS. No users yet and it's running out of Activate credits in February, so... we'll see, I guess. http://www.Earsmith.com is a "completed" (but unpublicized and probably only used by me) project I'm proud of — it's for training your pitch sense. (Edit to fix Earsmith URL.)

https://earsmith.com times out for me.

Aha! Try http://www.earsmith.com. Looks like I never finished properly configuring the domain, and also never switched to HTTPS. It's been a while. :)

Uhh, I should also mention that I'm pretty sure it doesn't work on mobile.

A sort of Cargo/NPM/Poetry for C++.

I don't have a lot of confidence in Conan and I see people struggle with CMake. This project combines a lot of ideas from both of those and hopefully makes things easier by basically combining the two into one tool.

It has some overlap with Meson but I didn't like particularly like Meson either.

Build recipes are written in Starlark - a subset of Python with a focus on immutability also used by Bazel and Buck2.

It can currently generate build files for Ninja and MSVC. There's no reason it couldn't also generate for XCode and Make I just haven't done that yet.

It's still at a proof-of-concept stage as I test out ideas.

Friend and I built https://druthers.app , and we use it all the time to solve our own interpersonal disputes, as well as with family and friends. It hasn't got any quality-of-life chrome or meta-features such as logins, or bookmarks. We were reluctant, even, to add the sharing button, since obviously a person is already well-equipped to share a browser tab! (I kid! Of course users cannot be presumed to know the power…

Seems interesting, but doesn't work in Safari latest. I get a blank screen.

Podcast Content Intelligence - https://siev.io/

I've been working on building a content intelligence dataset on podcast data. Using new LLMs I'm able to transcribe, speaker detect, and topic extract anything in the podcast space (or audio in general) and produce a detailed structured dataset from what people are talking about.

The website is jank as hell atm, but I think the resulting transcripts are pretty interesting - https://siev.io/episode/b6139bf3-f680-42c0-bc9d-f195fd71f293

https://github.com/SteveCastle/shrike-extension

It's a small go web server that queues jobs (commands in a whitelist and a list of args) and runs them in go routines with some max parallelism, and a browser extension to submit commands with the URL as the last argument. I use it to run scraping and archiving scripts on things mostly.
