Started working on a case discussion platform for students around 18 months ago. Mostly for dentistry and medicine, but it's template-based so works well for other purposes (e.g. teachers, social workers, etc.). It's going well and is being used by three universities right now.

On the way, I developed lightweight image editor and 3D model viewer components, which I've open sourced [1].

I want to SaaS-ify my scraping process. It's gotten to a point that it works nice and reliably for me, now I need to wrap it in a good DX package and call it version 0.1.

(The main drive behind this was not to sell it, but to have a UI for when a website changes its layout and I'm on holidays and don't have access to my terminal and/or my yubikeys)

I continue to build the best hardware product design firm in the world. We have designed surgical robots, implanted devices including blood pumps, down bore oil drilling robots, high volume disposables, helped companies bring injection molding in house. On and on.

We are based in the SOMA neighborhood of SF and would love to help anyone with their hardware!!

I'm making an NES emulator in Go. Not because other ones don't exist, but because I've been wanting to get more familiar with low level system principles, and there ain't a better way than building one.

I suppose I'll post the link someday. I literally just started today.

I built a no-AI, human-only social network focused on ONLY one thing - keeping people connected.

I'd stepped away from mainstream social media last year due to the overwhelming negativity, privacy violation, etc. Then around early this year, I started to feel I was missing updates from people who actually matter in my life. Instead of going back to traditional platforms, I decided to create a simple solution myself.

The platform emphasizes: - No AI algorithms or content manipulation - No infinite scrolling designed to trap your attention - A simple interface for sharing life updates with close connections (Text and Photos only for now)

We've intentionally made connecting difficult: no user search and no friend suggestions - you only connect with people you already know and care about.

I'd love to hear how this approach resonates with the HN community, particularly from those who've also grown tired of traditional social media.

The main side project I'm working on now probably won't apply too much to this audience but it's a weekly urbanism news roundup. The idea is to get global examples to inspire local change. Also, after leaving school I still wanted to keep in touch with what's happening around the world and continue learning.
