Hey i have built a predictive AI tool to help businesses spot the issues heading their way before they hit. After ideating, launching, raising and running my first start-up to £7m GMV pa in 2 yrs, and still losing it, i look back and wonder if i could have spotted the signs it was struggling earlier. So i'm trying to help myself by building the tool that would have helped me and running it as a company in its own rig…

Interesting idea. What would the data source be, teams channel logs, video meeting transcripts, etc?

I'm trying to take advantage of claude with implementing every idea that I have;

- a minesweeper game for my kid with his ideas

- a whatsapp archive/heatmap generator

- a fleet management application for my friend

- a TUI for managing RAG solution as memory for my daily job projects.

- a kindergarten communication application

- a kid booklet application

- playwright scripts for any manual browser based regular job

We’re building Chaotic, a high-performance 3D game engine and editor written in Rust. It targets WebAssembly and WebGL2, making it possible to deliver near-native performance and console-quality visuals directly in the browser. On top of the engine, we’re currently developing a multiplayer cozy farming game inspired by Animal Crossing called Fireflies Meadow: https://firefliesmeadow.com/?admin=SkipTheLine&skip=IKnowWha...

Fireflies Meadow isn’t ready for prime time yet, but we’re proud of the progress so far and actively iterating on it.

If you’re interested in the engine, the game, or just want to follow along, feel free to reach out on our Discord: https://discord.com/invite/mHsQayQNdp

I’d be curious to hear your feedback on whether the game is working for you or not.

I recently finetuned an LLM (gemma-3-270M) to extract recipes from blog posts.

My thoughts are that this is a perfect model for running locally on an iPhone in a recipe-management app.

Wrote a blog about what I learned while finetuning it https://vladr.com/blog/posts/finetuning-gemma3-to-extract-re...

And published the model on HF https://huggingface.co/v-rusu/recipe-extractor

I recently released https://astraview.app It's an astronomy app that lets you create custom horizon profiles for one or more locations and predicts what can be seen (galaxies, deep sky objects, planets etc) and when according to your specific views. It also has built in cloud forecasts and many other useful features for amateur astronomers

I'm a solo dev building a handful of apps across different niches.. - Kvile ( https://kvile.app ) — A lightweight desktop HTTP client built with Rust + Tauri. Native .http file support (JetBrains/VS Code/Kulala compatible), Monaco editor, JS pre/post scripts, SQLite-backed history. Sub-second startup. MIT licensed, no cloud, your requests stay on your machine. Think Postman without the bloat and login walls. - Mockin…

I also just shipped two more apps today:

- Biblewise — a Bible trivia game I originally built for my niece and nephew but ended up with three modes: adventure (progressive levels across 6 categories), daily challenges with streak tracking, and a timed mode. Built with SwiftUI + SwiftData, offline-first. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/biblewise-bible-quiz-game/id67...

- Neimr — a collaborative naming app with Tinder-style swiping. Create a survey for baby names, pet names, business names, etc., invite your partner/friends, and it finds which names you all agree on. Built with Flutter + Firebase. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/neimr-find-names-together/id67...

Solo dev – thinking a lot about death.

About a year ago, my grandpa showed me a note on his phone called "WHEN I DIE" with banking, insurance, property, investment, and other information in it. It really didn't sit right with me.

The past couple months I've been working on a more comprehensive, easy-to-use guide to document our (for better or worse) complicated lives and I'm just starting to show people.

It's free. It's anonymous. There's no tracking. Download the document if you want to work offline.

It's just something I think should existing in the world.

Maybe I'll put it on Gumroad or something. Maybe I'll make some kind of hosted version one day... idk, shrug.

Feel free to check it out, lmk if it's helpful to you or you think there's anything I should add: https://deathdocument.com

I'm building SprintPulse (https://sprintpulse.io), a real-time retrospective tool that transforms team feedback into concrete action items. With AI-powered summaries, merge suggestions, and sentiment tracking, every voice is heard and nothing gets lost. With the Linear integration, you can easily export your action items to a Linear or Jira project.

I'm a solo dev working on a suite of Garmin apps in order to make the sportswatch into a fully flung smartwatch, with the intent of enabling you to reduce screentime (mobile) but still maintain "essential functionality" and live in the modern world. The ecosystem is offline and privacy first - no cloud/servers.

The watches are chronically underpowered (great for battery life) and need a phone for internet anyway (inbuilt Sat/LTE is not available to devs) - so I've offloaded most of the heavy work to an Android (for now) companion app.

The key features:

- Use the phone mic (headphones or built-in) to dictate to the watch (on-board transcription) - the built-in keyboards are tough to use

- Reply to android notifications with voice (ie. WhatsApp/SMS)

- No extra costs for AI - you have a flagship mobile - all AI inference is on-device

- No internet access for watch or phone app - privacy first, local.

The apps:

- [Untether Comms](https://apps.garmin.com/apps/ac3c70e8-d631-49b9-a6f3-4335dc9...) - Reply to notifications with voice

- [Untether Notes](https://apps.garmin.com/apps/3984f15b-0924-428a-895e-c4c97a2...) - Voice notes automatically transcribed onto the watch

- Untether AI (coming soon) - Chat with Gemini Nano (or others) about your health metrics or anything without your phone

- [Companion Android App](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=watch.untether...)

It is very much still in Beta and might be pretty unstable!
