I'm building a TypeScript to native code compiler, via the Dotnet CLR toolchain and Native AOT. This lets you use the excellent Dotnet std library - which in addition to being faster is also much safer than the npm ecosystem. There's also a node compat library, which exposes Node APIs but with CLR underneath.

The end result will be a binary (linux and mac for now) which you can run without NodeJS. Simple programs already work, and I have web apps very nearly running.

I'm building a platform for people in my rare fruit meetup group exchange scions. I've never built a react native app, but with the help of Claude it seems possible to build for the web and iOS/Android apps with minimal experience. Hoping to make it really useful for our group before sharing it with others.

I've started fund raising efforts for a project related to accelerating adoption of authenticated encryption between mail servers (it's time to move past opportunistic TLS).

I also launched a web browser extension last week, Blog Quest, which has some great early adoption numbers that exceeded my expectations. When I can find some spare time I'll start fixing up some of the early feedback/feature requests.

I shared this last month, but I’m still having a lot of fun working on it. I made a daily word puzzle called Tiled Words. https://tiledwords.com Currently about 2,000 people play every day and I’ve released 59 puzzles! One feature I’m excited about is crowdsourcing puzzles. Today’s puzzle is a “community puzzle” made entirely from clues that players submitted! I plan to do this every week or two. I wrote about launch…

My sister and I are glued to it, and she continues to destroy me, with consistent zero reveals and half the time to complete, as yours truly. We love this game. thanks.

Building https://lenzy.ai - helping products built around chat with AI (think Lovable or Cursor) reduce churn and prioritize product improvements by analyzing their user's chats.

I started about 2 months ago, found 2 early adopters and focusing on making them really happy.

Working on an app to learn Hiragana.

A gamified approach that gradually introduces characters.

As I'm currently in Osaka I can use my own app well :) Hoping to make learning Japanese more fun.

It's here: https://app.tolearnjapanese.com

It's based on my simple web app to learn Korean vocabulary. I'm taking elements from Anki and other language learning apps, but making it focused so it works well in a broader language learning journey.

For learning Korean vocabulary: https://game.tolearnkorean.com

Have also been writing about these in my monthly mail-letter: https://bryanhogan.com/follow
