If it's not gauche to post the same thing two months running, I've been working on https://filmhose.uk, a listings site for London's independent and arts cinemas. Now at the awkward stage where I should probably stop messing about with the site and start "growth hacking" or something.

#102Hej, I am still working on FisherLoop [1] to learn Swedish (but I have added German, Spanish, French and Italian since). I created FisherLoop because I like audiobooks for language learning but I hated having to pause to look up words + I want to read along the book while listening. With FisherLoop I made "interactive audiobooks" where I use TTS with word level timestamps to highlight the words as they are spoken + I can click on words for the translation.
I am using cerebras for book translations and verb extraction and all LLM related tasks. For TTS I am using cartesia. I have played around with Elevenlabs and they have slightly natural sounding TTS but their pricing is too steep for this project. Books would cost a couple of hundred euros to process.

#103Working on Humadroid - trying to make SOC2/ISO27001 compliance less painful for small businesses. The $30-50K consultant route is brutal for startups, so we're building an AI-assisted platform that helps with policy generation and guidance.
Still in beta and learning a lot from each customer we onboard. We're actually going through our own SOC2 assessment in August, which has been... educational. Recently added business continuity and incident tracking features. Trying to build something that's actually helpful rather than just another compliance checkbox tool.
If anyone's interested: humadroid.io or feel free to join our beta waitlist at https://humadroid.io/join-the-humadroid-beta-waitlist/
If anyone's been through the compliance journey, would love to hear what worked (or didn't work) for you!

#104I'm still working on https://wut.dev/ - a simpler, privacy-focused, read-only AWS resource viewer. I did a "show Reddit" post a few weeks back and it got quite a bit of interest, so doubling down with actual user feedback now.

#106Earlier quoted context omitted.
Hadn't seen this before, this is awesome! I lived in Cameroon and Kenya briefly doing some consulting work and mosquitos still wreak havoc across the continent (and now living in DC I wouldn't mind having one of these in the summer for my place). I'm curious if you're also thinking about defense applications -- I would imagine that a super low cost drone that could help take out a shahed or other Russian drone that a…
Glad to hear we could be of help! Some of our tech could be used for defense, but traditional defense companies and ukrainian startups already do low-cost shahed interceptors.
My impression is the solutions are still somewhat lacking/necessary -- I know Frankenburg, Eric Schmidt's stealth startup, and surely the primes are all working on it but given how many shaheds are still getting through (plus all the drone action at the frontline) I imagine there's still a market for low-cost; especially if they're largely autonomous

#107Building a 3D dating RPG: https://turnon.fun
Idea is to add a lot more NSFW stuff like sexy avatars and mocap animations, cinematic controls, even a marketplace of content and assets.

#108We're supposed to use AI at work, which has been very 50/50 for me as expected. Last month I decided to take a subscription of my own for Claude Code to use in my personal time mostly for practice and educational purposes. So the past few weekends and the occasional week night I've been vibe-coding a game for iOS/MacOS using Swift and SpriteKit. I have some experience with Swift previously but not at work, so it's ex…
How do you find xcode, is it as bad as everyone bashes it at reddit? I am planning to get m4 mac mini and do some Swift development, just didn't use xcode ever.

#109Working on The Card Caddie (thecardcaddie.com) free credit card recommendation site + extension with no personal credit card info. Never miss a point again!
(Built for fun as I optimized my daily spending to get a year's worth of flights for free and friends wanted it haha)
