I'm building CAIL – an AI that makes and answers phone calls for you. You type what needs to be done – it calls, talks, waits on hold, asks questions, and sends you a summary. Kind of like a voice assistant, but for actual phone calls. Also built an AI voicemail agent – it can answer missed or declined calls, figure out what they wanted, book a meeting in your free calendar slot, or even mess with spammers if needed.…

That's cool! I wondered about this recently -- I'd be pretty annoyed if an AI called me. I would most likely hang up immediately, regardless of what was said. Am I in the minority here? Is that feedback you've gotten before? I do however think people would be more tolerant of an AI answering a phone call they made, I'm bullish on that half of the equation.

Absolutely not.

I'm working on https://ad-si.github.io/LuaCAD/

LuaCAD is a scripting library which uses OpenSCAD as engine to create 2D and 3D models. The OpenSCAD language itself is quite limited and has several issues and Lua is much better suited for the job!

So if you're interested in programmatic CAD, please check it out!

Friend and I are working on https://finbodhi.com/

It's a double entry based personal finance tool, to help families and individuals, track, understand and plan their finances.

It's local first. Synched across devices via a sync server. Financial data is encrypted before it leaves your local devices. By design, we don't have access to your data.

We are still in early phase, and looking for active users, and their feedback.

I'm continuing work on my Saas for hairdressers.

I'm happy to say I'm no longer stuck on endless little business logic decisions. Now I'm mostly stuck on essentially creating a (more) complicated google calendar interface. (React + MUI) I stopped work when everything was still wonky but i could quickly make appointments on the fly with it. A few days ago when trying to wrap my head around my own code i kind of regretted that decision. It's a bit more complex of a UI piece than what i've tried my hand at before and my current holdup is (re-)implementing proper drag & drop to edit appointments after i rewrote a piece of the underlying stuff.

Is "bodhi" the Buddhist term for enlightenment? (Or the tree that frequently appears at Theravada Buddhist temples?)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I built something similar for myself, but with a live PDF preview, support for downloading PDFs in multiple languages (English and Polish), VAT tax deductions, and multiple currencies. https://easyinvoicepdf.com/ Also it’s open-source https://github.com/VladSez/easy-invoice-pdf Would love to receive any feedback as well :)

Nice work, this looks better than the established players in this space! You've got some customisation options in yours that I'd love to implement in mine as soon as time permits. Huge props for not forcing people to sign up for an account to use it!

Thank you =)
