I'm building a developer tool for working with FHIR APIs called "Vanya Client".

FHIR is a data standard for sharing healthcare data. It's in use all around the world by healthcare, health insurance and medtech companies as well as researchers working with healthcare data.

Vanya grew out of my own frustrations as a developer working with FHIR. I wanted an easier way to see the data behind the APIs. To say Postman is not ideal for working with this data is a major understatement.

We're a few months away from a commercial release, and have an MVP available for download right now. We're very much building in public and have a strong user base already all around the world.

Just finished a Sunday morning release of the latest version. Looking forward to the next 6 months!

I am working alone on https://tree-of-knowledge.org

This is a hierarchical representation of any given piece of knowledge.

It starts with a tree root node that you specify (let's say Kung fu), then it branches out into multiples subcategories (techniques, styles, philosophy, weaponry, ect...) and then you can click on these subcategories to branch out even more into the graphical tree.

This is all generated on-the-fly with Claude 3.5. There is no limit to what knowledge you might explore.

The killer feature is that it is totally free and does not require to login. Just click the link and have fun. I'll keep it free like that, as long as I can.

I hope you like it guys because it is the best project that I have up my sleeve.

Enjoy!,

Pierre

I’m working on a test integration tool. You write your tests declaratively using YAML (ie. setup the environment, databases, etc., load fixtures, make api calls or db calls, and check assertions), so it’s completely language agnostic, which makes it perfect for grey-box/black-box testing. This way of testing also ensures you’re testing functional, business cases, and gives great stability on an exposed interface, bec…

Thats interesting. You had almost exactly the same idea as me: https://hitchdev.com/hitchstory

https://zimly.app is an open-source S3 media backup app that I've been working on in my free time.

The last few months I've been trying to get the real-time upload speed to display nicely, which proved to be harder than anticipated. But I think I've got a good solution now and might roll a new release today.

My goal is to have a few thousands downloads by the end of the year. Marketing is hard, also because it's less rewarding than programming features, so I tend to pick a new feature instead of writing a blog post or polishing the website.

Jobchef.io is a SaaS I've worked on for a little while and recently released.

I have a background in marketing and HR in large company, this is my first venture into programming after learning to code on my own (VBA -> Automate the boring stuff -> coursera -> React & a lot of help debugging from a very generous friend.)

Releasing a full working product was a great milestone, but so far market fit is still quite unclear.

I’m building Featurevisor: https://github.com/featurevisor/featurevisor

It’s an open source tool for declaratively managing your feature flags, a/b tests, and remote configuration for your applications and services.

Has SDKs for JavaScript, Swift, and Kotlin already.

I have some side projects that I work on alongside my regular job. - TheFile.Ninja, which is a file manager with the Everything indexer built-in for extremely fast information retrieval. This allows you to quickly run file queries, and these queries can then be saved or even added as folders in the file system. When you open the folder, it automatically fills with the contents from the query. I have also created a se…

How does FileNinja compare to Total Commander?

I'm working on a library for LoRaWAN to make it easier to create node devices. It's mostly done, but still needs documentation and examples.

I'm working on a new design for a site I run just for fun.

It's a simple site for streaming local radios from my city, Mendoza (Argentina): https://www.radiosdemendoza.com.ar

It was built with WordPress, and the new theme is using Tailwind and AlpineJS. I hadn’t used AlpineJS before, so this project was a great way to experiment with it.

I don't have any monetization on it, and I'm not sure if I'll pursue that for this site.

Next up, I plan to build a Chrome extension. I have limited experience with that, so it should be a fun challenge.
