I've been suffering from migraines for the last month, so have channeled my (non-migraine) time into a migraine tracker to try and find the root causes. All the tracking apps I tried all have nice complex forms, which is all well and good, unless...you are having a migraine. Rough idea is easy to use voice mode to record data, then analyze unstructured data with AI later on. I want to track all relevant life informat…

If it’s an iPhone app the new on device transcription api in ios26 works well and is very fast. You could also use the ondevice llm to clean up the transcription. Cheaper and more privacy friendly

Working on Maudit, a Rust library to make static websites. Emphasis on library instead of framework. I aim that you could integrate Maudit into existing Rust apps, building pages individually, rendering Markdown where you need etc, instead of a black box magic "build website" command.

I'm making a game that's inspired by the niche but adored "The Last of Us Factions", the multiplayer as part of the first Last of Us (only available on Playstation). I got a gaming PC a couple years ago and haven't been able to find anything quite like it.

Making it with the Rust game engine, Bevy and really enjoying it so far. Using Blender for making assets. I'm maybe a dumbass for making it as my first game, but I just don't really get excited by smaller projects.

Overall I've found modern games to be (1) overstimulating and (2) have algorithms in the background to keep me engaged that I don't trust (see: free to play model)

One man project for 4 years: https://kastanj.ch/ Most recipes are a failure for beginners on the first try. I aim to make recipes bulletproof so anyone can pick up any recipe and it will just work. The goal is to make the best recipe app ever. On a technical level recipes are built as graphs and assembled on demand. This makes multilanguage support easy, any recipe can use any unit imaginable, blind people could have…

I admire the dedication and love to idea / how much you've thought it trough from the app / logic side.

From the marketing side...

I'd make a selection on the website on first visit - I'm a chef / creator - I like to cook

Your cta (call to action) is... Not very effective

Instagram only has 7 followers and no posts. ...

I like the dedication but I'd definitely recommend to improve your marketing / promotion skills (if you build it they will come is a myth unfortunately...), if you wanna have a call about it feel free to hit me up, tijlatduckdotcom. I'm also in Europe so easy for timing.

https://www.radiopuppy.com Makes it easy to search, favourite and listen to online radio streams. I like to listen to online radio while working and none of the available web apps I could find hit the nail on the head, so decided to build my own.

I clicked on a few and couldn't get any to work, either just didn't play or gave me "Stream format or URL not supported."

Thanks for checking it out. I'm using a 3rd party API for all the station info (radio-browser.info) and sometimes the station streams result in that error. You may have just had some bad luck clicking on a few in a row that don't work. I'll try to think of a way to filter those broken ones out.

My side project - https://macrosforhumans.com - is a traditional mobile macro tracker with first class support for voice (and soon image and text blob) inputs for your recipes, ingredients, measurements, units, etc. Kind of a neat project that may never make it too far off the ground considering I am not a mobile dev but it's been fun to build so far with the help of claude code. It's built with flutter and a fastapi backend.

In the AI macro food logging world, there's really only Cal AI which estimates macros based on an image. I use cronometer personally, and it's super annoying to have to type everything in manually, so it makes sense why folks reach for something like Cal AI. However, the problem with something like Cal AI is accuracy. It's at best a guess based on the image. Macros for humans tries to be more of a traditional weigh your food, log it, etc kind of app, while updating the main interface for how users input that info into something more friendly.

I set myself a hard deadline to present a live demo at a local showcase/pitch event thing at the end of the month. I bet the procrastination will kick in hard enough to get the backend hosted with a proper database and a bit more UI polish running on my phone. :-)

Here's a really early demo video I recorded a few weeks ago. I had just spoken the recipe on the left and when I stop recording you can see my backend streams the objects out as they're parsed from the LLM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4wElkvJR7I

I got tired of trying to find a good MP3 player that just worked so I created a website to function as an online MP3 player. I started adding sources for content and ended up supporting YouTube, Spotify, Twitch, Instagram, Vimeo, SoundCloud, Rumble, WSHH, Facebook and X. So now you can create playlists from all of those sources with features you would find on any decent MP3 player such as loop, repeat, etc. I also drew inspiration from YTInstant and created a real time search for content that allows you to type lyrics and song titles and it will instantly find your content. Finally, I said well while I'm at it, I might as well just recreate MySpace, so I did that too. Let me know your thoughts. https://plasas.com

I got tired of Spotify recommending me the same songs, from the same artists, over and over again. So I built Riff Radar - it creates playlists from your followed artists' complete discography, and allows you to tailor them in multiple ways. Those playlists are my top listened to. I know, because you can also see your listening statistics (at the mercy of Spotify's API). The playlists also get updated daily. Think of…

When I tried to save a newly created playlist I got a 500 XHR with message: "failed to fetch user playlists: Error 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND disabled = 0' at line 4", about 2mins ago, if that help finding this is logs.
