A template-based automation tool for small private equity firms. It has some AI functionality as well to easily parse documents and information from transcripts. Basically I want to free up investment teams from admin tasks so that they can spend more time on evaluating deals and building relationships.

A lot of the AI-powered applications for private equity firms are focusing on the multi-billion dollar firms.

Tools to help my mental health tracking[0], and sharing with others how I manage my limited amount of energy[1]. They're kind of related, since mental health impacts my energy, so I've needed to prioritize and really make sure I'm spending my time and energy on things that matter. Usually, there's a good mix of things I enjoy doing with things I gain a lot out of. I've spent a lot of time thinking about this!

I've used my app in various forms for around 5 years, rewritten multiple times. But now I'm creating surrounding tooling to help others put my mental model for personal life prioritize to use. I'm writing in the "Saving Spoons" Substack as I go, trying to explain why and how I do things, with advice for others trying to do the same thing.

For the past few months, I've been building a health tracking app called LogBuddy. I got tired of using separate apps for nutrition, workouts, weight, and period tracking. So I built LogBuddy to handle all of it with a dead simple interface. That way, all the heath data I'm tracking would be in one place. Right now there's an Android APK available. If there's interest, I'll publish to the Play Store and build an iOS version too.

Would love to hear your feedback if you try it out!

Here's the github repository: https://github.com/aabiji/logbuddy

I just finished a little webtoy. It's like a comic strip time machine - you can see a virtual newspaper comics page for any date in the last seventy years.

V happy with how the CSS came out, except I spent a lot of time on an "ink bleed" newsprint effect that (oops) only looks good on HiDPI monitors... lessons learned I suppose

I recently launched a daily word puzzle!

https://tiledwords.com

It’s inspired by tile placement board games like Patchwork and crosswords. You rotate and move tiles to rebuild a broken crossword.

It’s free, web based, and responsive.

I currently have several hundred daily players and growing. My wife and I create the puzzles and I’m continuing to fix bugs and add new features.

I just launched a ”community puzzle” feature to let players help build new puzzles.

I’d love to know what you think!

I am building a foundational layer for building C++ apps using Bazel.

I am working on creating a standardized set of paths and third party libraries that work seamlessly across multiple developer teams. Allowing library upgrades to happen transparently in the background. This will enable developers to focus on business specific logic and not have to worry about the intricacies of the build system and allowing to "magically" work in the background. This is allow foray into Bazel and using it as a learning exercise to master it.
