Building two things ATM - first is an interactive fiction engine (almost done) and game with it (halfway there). Just wrapped pre-production on music and art, going into the studio to record final tracks later in the year. Launching end of the year hopefully.

I'm also building an application and training materials to help people with annual strategy. I've spent 20 years in marketing and ops putting up with people doing it badly so this is an attempt to help people running businesses actually come up with a strategy likely to result in something valuable.

I live next to a school, so there's a low speed limit (30 km/h). Still, people drive like race drivers and the city hasn't ever responded to the residents' hopes of introducing a speed camera. I wanted to have some data on how many people speed, the max speed recorded, that sort of thing. Things the city should be doing after many complaints of dangerous driving and people being almost killed on zebra crossings. I ha…

Is that legal in your country? In mine (Netherlands) there are way too many people with doorbell camera aimed right at the street even though it's illegal to record a public space like that. Most folks are ignorant about it though, or think that surely the internet-connected gadget sold by some anonymous corporation won't be abused....

working on cursor for desktop. why rely on AI agent that’s self-contained when it’s limited, can’t access the browser, can’t open apps or click around.

i simply want mine to be able to fill in forms in preview with a passport image as context. also to be able to do recurring tasks as if i was the desktop user. e.g., i’m going to bed keep working on this spreadsheet.

it’s working and built but very slow and buggy atm. uses multimodal LLMS and OCR but lots more optimizations needed. need to make it a lot faster. can demo it and need help if anyone is interested.

I have been working in my spare time on Japanese vocabulary learning app and just yesterday finally convinced myself to publish the sources: https://github.com/d3nzil/gaku

Be warned it's in early stages, difficult to use and code is big ball of mud. But the basic functionality works, so maybe it will be already useful for someone. And I have been using it and working on it consistently, so hopefully it'll only get better.

Working with clients I realized that many companies lack basic monitoring and observability. E-commerce shops go down and no one notices. DBs do thousands of useless queries per minute. Emails stop sending silently.

I’m building a tool to make monitoring setup a no-brainer. I’m talking about basic website monitoring setup in 5-seconds — literally.

The problem is not a lack of tools. The existing tools are not even that complicated, but they still require too much thinking to set up.

Not sure where you are, but 30kmh sounds Dutch. Filming the public road from your private residence is illegal.

In practice, no one cares. Cops will even ask you nicely for footage if something went down in your street.

Anyway, best of luck with your project.

I've been inspired to build my own browser mmo game after seeing hordes.io, which is made by a single person. Launched a prototype with, for now, only basic movement over at http://everwilds.io. Instead of working in a silo I've decided to develop in public and launched as soon as possible to slowly gather an audience. So far the Everwilds.io Discord server already gained 1 member ;) I'll share the link incase others want to follow the development: https://discord.gg/HWZSpkvz

I've been dabbling with local ML projects, and trying to get them to run with ROCm on my Radeon 7900 XTX card. All the solutions to run for example Llama.cpp or Automatic1111 are a bit hacky, so I made a repo where I document how to run them in containers.

https://github.com/Krisseck/ROCm-Docker-Scripts

Needs more documentation and more projects, but all contributions are welcome!
