I’ve done my share of programming languages (PHP, C++, Python, Ruby, Haskell) and for the last 10 years I’ve been working in OCaml (which I love so much) but Rust would be a nice addition IMO.
And I never implemented LSM style database before! So that’s fun.
I only just started and the pace will be slow (I have 3h/week to spend on it on a good week), if you are curious: https://github.com/happyfellow-one/crab-bucket
Colibri—a self-hostable web application to manage your (and your family's) ebook library, intended as a companion to Calibre. I want it to be a friendly, simple, capable, opinionated app to review your books, add metadata to them, get them onto your reader, share them with family and (few) friends, create a public shelf for bragging, connect with Goodreads etc., and exchange comments and reviews on books.
This is explicitly not intended to ever be monetised, and I enjoy all the implications that has on the design. Colibri is as much a tool I personally want to use, as it is a study in small-audience user interfaces, and the quest to build the perfect book catalog schema.
I'm looking for fellow book-loving people to work on Colibri, to create the best personal digital library possible. If you're interested, feel free to reach out via email (in bio), or on GitHub.
This is why I'm building a unified MCP server with just two meta tools: - Search Available tools - Execute a tool
When I want to send an email, I ask LLM to use the Search Meta tool to search for Gmail related tools in the backend, then the meta tool returns the description of relevant tools. The LLM then uses the Execute meta tool to actually use the gmail tool returned. https://github.com/aipotheosis-labs/aci
I am working on a super mario land re-implementation for game boy using C. It's made with the GBDK toolkit so the ROM can be run on a gameboy. Currently the scrolling and background collision has been implemented, I am working on drawing the enemies... their is still a long way to go. As for why I am doing this is nostalgia and fulfilled a childhood dream repo at https://github.com/odrevet/marioland-gbdk/
There are already a few services like this, but most don't support using a parent's voice, and very few can connect stories together into a continuous narrative based on previous ones. Also I would like to hold context for fairy tales kinda local. For example Polish folklore is different than British. Most common villains are different and it can be fun and educating problem to solve.
I'm mainly doing this as a learning project, but curious to see where it ends up.
1. While I can share source code and documentation with trustworthy people, that won't work at scale: the market would get flooded with Chinese clones that re-use my Open Source software but then I have no ongoing revenue to fund support / maintenance.
2. Especially for products with a physical component, shipping, taxes, refunds, CC chargebacks etc. add considerable overhead. Plus I need to add in Amazon fees and marketing spend. And suddenly I need to charge 8x the manufacturing price, which means I either need to massively cheapen out with quality, or it's going to be a very premium product.
