I'm still working on https://www.guidejar.com

It helps SaaS teams create interactive product demos and SOPs quickly. It’s been super useful for user onboarding, making it easier for new users to get started without a bunch of back-and-forth.

The goal is to minimize support tickets and ensure users actually adopt new features with less friction.

I'm still working on my first self designed PCB. It's nothing special, just a temperature and humidity sensor using esp32. I started it to teach myself more about PCB design and embedded programming. Yesterday I published a blog article on it. https://www.felixmaurer.de/blog/2024/10/27/building-an-iot-s...

I've noticed that my son spends way too much time on YouTube or playing Minecraft and one of the few offline activities he enjoys doing on his own is coloring. And since he comes to me every time he wants a new coloring book and we spend about 10 minutes together searching for each picture, I made a website with a collection of coloring books for him. The site is very simple, but to be honest, I haven't had so much fun with the process of creation for a long time.

I'm still working on Habitat. It's a self-hosted social platform for local communities. The plan is for it to be federated, but that's a while off yet. I want it to be easily installable for those who want to host using docker, and for those who want to host on an EC2 instance or something, because online services for docker hosting are quite expensive, so I've been working recently on ansible setup, and it's proving quite difficult, so if anyone with the experience fancies helping out, I'd be more than happy to receive contributions.

https://newbeelearn.com/tools/csvonline free csv viewer with charts and tables with usual sorting/searching/filtering etc. I am planning to use the core of this product to create kind of arbitrary dashboard for csv but i am not sure if there is any need for this kind of product.

You have a typo, https://newbeelearn.com/tools/csvonline/

This is something similar to what I've been working on. Currently designing a HAT for a Raspberry Pi that includes temp/humidity sensor as well as particle matter (PMS5003). Trying to end up with my own personal weather station which I'll then publish to a small web app.

Professionally, I'm working on extending Nx, the Elixir ML framework which I help maintain, for distributed and sharded computing. Should have an working v0 by December!

GitHub for the project: https://github.com/elixir-nx/nx

As a side-project, I've been diving back into hardware. Fixed/modded a crappy guitar amplifier I had into a great amp, and the next project in line will be a new version of a digital synth I designed a fey years back

Spent a year improving my p2p networking library. The software is async python 3 and it's designed to solve a simple problem: create a connection between any two computers. I haven't done a write-up yet but if you want to try it out the github is here. You can also install through pypi too

https://github.com/robertsdotpm/p2pd

python3 -m pip install p2pd

python3 -m p2pd.demo

(Will let you play around with TCP hole punching and other obscure connectivity approaches.)

Brand new docs too that go into how it works in English with some semi-good diagrams. If you want to learn more about it.
