#162Working on: to teach myself Rust, I’ve been working on a NYT Letter Boxed solver, with some ambitions to turn it into a game by itself. I think this game could be made a lot more fun.
Thinking about: A new take on LinkedIn/web-of-trust, bootstrapped by in-person interactions with devices. It seems that the problem of proving who is actually human and getting a sense of how your community values you might be getting more important, and now devices have some new tools to bring that within reach.

#163I'm working on Veila, a privacy‑first AI chat service. I wanted something that prevents model providers from profiling users and linking information from chats to their identity. I'm a robotics engineer by training, this is my first public launch of a web app. Try it: https://app.veila.ai (free tier, no email required) - What it is: - Anonymous AI chat via a privacy proxy (provider sees our server, not your IP or acc…
Hmm. I can't say for others, but I can tell you what would work for me given that I might meet some the criteria of desired audience for this. In this space, it is more about trust and what you have done in the past more than anything else. Audits and whatnot are nice, but I need to be able to trust that your decisions will be sound. Think how Steam's Gabe gained his reputation. Not exactly easy feat these days. FWIW…
Thanks for sharing this! Fully agree that trust is key, normally being on the user side of privacy-focussed services myself. Open source can help build this trust, but it would be ideal to have a way to make what is actually running on and being served by the servers transparent.
I'd love to hear your feedback if you get around to test Veila, e.g. on hey@veila.ai.

#164I have been working on https://pikku.dev
The goal is to provide a fully typed nodeJS framework that allows you to write a typescript function once and then decide whether to wire it up to http, websocket, queues, scheduled tasks, mcp server, cli and other interactions.
You can switch between serverless and server deployments without any refactoring / completely agnostic to whatever platform your running it on
It also provides services, permissions, auth, eventhub, advanced tree shaking, middleware, schema generation and validation and more
The way it works is by scanning your project via the typescript compiler and generating a bootstrap file that imports everything you need (hence tree shaking), and allows you to filter down your backend to only the endpoints needed (great to pluck out individual entry points for serverless). It also generates types fetch, rpc, websocket and queue client files. Types is pretty much most of what pikku is about.
Think honoJS and nestJS sort of combined together and also decided to support most server standards / not just http.
Website needs love, currently working on a release to support CLI support and full tree shaking.

#165I’m working on a free and open-source invoice generator: https://easyinvoicepdf.com/?template=stripe - No sign-up, works entirely in-browser - Live PDF preview + instant download - VAT EU support - Shareable invoice links - Multi-language (10+) & multi-currency - Multiple templates (incl. Stripe-style) - Mobile-friendly GitHub: https://github.com/VladSez/easy-invoice-pdf Would love feedback, contributions, or ideas f…
Nice! I recently built an invoice generator (not open sourced) for my own needs. I built mine because I needed something when I discontinued a SaaS that had provided it. Mine is written in C# and uses a JSON file to define the contents of the invoice. It's run from the command-line and just produces the PDF.

#169I'm working on a compiler for WebAssembly. The idea is you use the raw wasm instructions like you’d use JSX in React, so you can make reusable components and compose them into higher abstractions. Inlining is just a function call.
https://github.com/RoyalIcing/Orb
It’s implemented in Elixir and uses its powerful macro system. This is paired with a philosophy of static & bump allocation, so I’m trying to find a happy medium of simplicity with a powerful-enough paradigm yet generate simple, compact code.

#170Currently building a Declarative Web Assembler of Html/Json using AI in multiple languages for the past 1 month: https://github.com/Srid68/Arshu.Assembler deployed to fly.io
https://jsassembler.fly.dev/ https://csharpassembler.fly.dev/ https://goassembler.fly.dev/ https://rustassembler.fly.dev/ https://nodeassembler.fly.dev/ https://phpassembler.fly.dev/
The purpose is to find if can i build declarative software in multiple langauges (Rust, Go, Node.Js, PHP and Javascript) knowing only one language (C#) without understanding the implementation deeply.
Another purpose is validate AI models and their efficiency since development using AI is hard but highly productive and having a declarative rules to recreate the implementation may be used to validate models
Currently i am convinced it is possible to build, but now working on creating a solid foundation with tests of the two assembler engines, structure dumps, logging, logging outputs so that those can be used by the AI which it needs to fix issues iteratively.
Need to add more declarative rules and implement a full stack web assembler to see if AI will hit the technical debt which slows/stop progress. Only time will tell.
