I write a lot of shell scripts, but hate how difficult it is to write things that are readable and not error-prone. I wrote a python library that allows you to add safety to any shell command while also letting you take advantage of a "real" programming language like python. Basically, this allows you to sprinkle as little (or as much) shell into your python scripts as you want.
Would love to hear any feedback on it :)
Mobile friendly meteorology data and forecasting tool.
Meant to be a better mobile option than a site like the College of DuPage model viewer.
Generator of encounter maps for tabletop RPGs. You can export to .dd2vtt format which you can then import in Foundry VTT.
There's also a new version with programmable pipeline of generators, but it's even more unfinished:
Lots of rough spots. Especially the UI is not great right now but I also could not find a lot of traction so far.

An extension to show shortcuts as a popup for google sheets or excel 365. Never really polished it or created a landing page around it.

Trying to build the world's largest encyclopedia of magazines, fanzines, journals and newsletters. Most of the world's magazines are dead and buried, languishing as copyright orphans with no known owner. Yet, they contain far more knowledge than probably all the books combined? We should probably think about training the next LLM on all the world's magazines as well as all the books. It is less than half-baked. I ask…

I'm making an interactive garden designer to help plan a (mostly rose) garden in my front lawn that will be visible to the town. https://garden.simonsarris.com/ It all works (double click to place plants, undo/redo, copying, etc etc), but it needs more items. And saving and loading does not work yet. Actually, since this is HN, you could write go.Diagram.fromDiv(myDiagramDiv).model.toJson() To save and share. But I n…
You could simply encode the json to base64 and put it in the url fragment (hash). Then you can save by bookmarking the url and share by copy/pasting it, all without a server. I've seen some web games use this method but I can't remember which off the top of my head.
I think Google maps does this for manual bike routes too?
An unfinished ASCII art point-and-click adventure game to play in your terminal.
I wanted to build a Monkey Island style game engine, but my total lack of drawing abilities only allowed me monochrome text art as a way to get some graphics.
The game engine in itself is closed to done, but I got stuck on the scenario and graphics to finish it.

This was the expiry date, so I'm not sure what's going on because that is in UTC and it is not that time yet: (of course I should have set up an alert for myself to do it a week ago)

Hah I never have a thing to show off.... yay unemployment? I made a little thing to count and track how many people are surfing on surfline's webcams to learn a bit about ml/ai, computer vision and deploying these things. I think its neat, and the data is fun in a nerdy way. Not sure what to do with it now. Its been cool, I had to get my own dataset together for it to work. Check it out at and click around dp52hy5y2z…
This is really cool. Maybe you could collect the data and make a predictor for how many surfers will show up at a given spot at any point of time during the day. You could record past numbers as well as other factors like weather, time of day, amount of sunlight, etc, and have the model adjust its predictions based on those factors automatically
