Working on Tritium, the legal IDE in Rust ( https://tritium.legal/ ) This month I'm improving CI/CD for e2e testing across Windows, macOS, Linux and Android. Also adding support for unlocking password-protected PDFs and Word docs and improving OCR. OCR runs in the background and leverages native OS OCR where available and a pure LSTM Rust implementation elsewhere. Generally improving the word processor and looking fo…

Are you having lawyers getting of MS Word. Ive tried in the past with no success. But this is really cool. Its definitely a problem they have.

I don't think Word will go away, no.

Some times you need to write a whitepaper, some marketing materials or something that a general product like Word is more suited for. Tritium is however aiming to replace Word as the transactional lawyer's go-to desktop application for the most common workflow.

After 10 years in defense tech, watching missile attacks in Ukraine and the Middle East made it clear how little most people really get about air defense. So I'm building this simulator which drops you into the operator’s seat. You can test out different scenarios and build an air defense network against various types of threats (stats from real world). Also have Ukraine, Israel-Iran scenarios. The new version is a l…

That seems neat. Modern missile command, haha.

After 10 years in defense tech I’m sure you are very aware of this sort of thing, but how worried are you about accidentally leaking some non-public info? I guess one nice thing about public info is, well, it is public, so you can just use whatever’s public.

Still building https://ongoingthings.com - a way to document and privately share life updates with close people.

I used to post personal updates in group chats - scattered, repetitive, and easy to miss. Now each topic (like raising a child, a trip, a project) gets its own private space - an Ongoing Thing - where updates stay organized.

People get email notifications for new posts. There's no feed, no comments, no ads - just a calm way to stay connected.

We just added Partner Things so multiple people (like two parents) can post to the same thing. Our small user base loves it.

Still figuring out marketing. Until now, it's mostly been word-of-mouth. Feedback welcome!

Building low cost tools to give email owner's their attention back.

1. Inbox Toll - solves the "real human, still spam" problem by making the sender pay a fee before the email actually lands in your inbox. Set your toll as low as $0.01.

2. Auto Label - automatically label (+ optionally archive) all non-human messages into logical categories like newsletters, receipts, promotions, etc.

3. Inbox Cleaner - time-based inbox scan that bulk deletes non-essential emails.

Euromillions data analyzer: https://github.com/benb0jangles/euromillions_analyser

My creation this week, i hope some find it interesting and fun. Last night I was bored so I created a python app to analyse historical euromillions draw numbers. I added tons of features and some statistical analysis features to examine patterns and bias. Good luck if it helps you win I would love to know, also let me know your thoughts and experiences, what you found, how it helps you understand the draw more, and any features I could add in future. I could not find many official sources for entire historical draw data; the official lottery website only appeared to provide 6 months historical data and i wanted to analyse all past draws.

I’m working on https://voicecast.app/. It’s podcast voicemail and now recently, videomail. Trying to capture the YouTuber and Twitch streamer market but worried about diluting the product’s selling point. Seeing some cool growth lately.

1. Offline AI file manager 2. Health tracker, sport, food, mental health (CBT) with AI - only for myself, for now(probably forever :)). 3. Community app where you can find people working on the same hobby/idea. I was trying to find someone to work on my small roach size swarm bots, but didn't know how to find same-minded people.
