Agentic code construction has broken traditional models for code review - the volume is just too high for humans to keep up with.

There are some good tools out there for automating pr review; IMO, they don't catch enough, and they catch it too late.

I've been experimenting with some ideas about a very opinionated AI code reviewer, one that makes an ideal tradeoff between cost and immediacy (eg, how soon after composition does the code get feedback).

Currently in an invite-only alpha, but check out the landing page and lmk if you'd like to be a trial user!

Delving on to personalized software again now that AI agents code it for me with little hand holding. Instead of building scrips here and there I'm attempting my own everything app. Lets see if that's a good idea :). Starting with android home screen and widget sync to server/desktop. So e.g. calendar notifications happen desktop first, then escalate to mobile etc. Also phone as mousepad (for using my projector from…

Doing similar except decided against a single app. Lots of small apps behind a reverse proxy with mTLS auth instead.

Built GhostDance — overlay any TikTok dance as a ghost on your camera to practice in real time.

Been learning dance moves from TikTok but hated the pause/rewind loop on my phone. So I built a web app that overlays the original dancer as a translucent ghost directly on your camera feed.

Upload any video → ghost appears → you follow → record yourself → export. No install, works on mobile browser.

Feedback will be much appreciated!

I changed gears and moved into the video games industry at the end of 2021. I started developing a city builder called Metropolis 1998 [1], but wanted to take the genre in new directions, building on top of what modern games have to offer: - Watch what's happening inside buildings and design your own (optional) - Change demand to a per-business level - Bring the pixel art 3D render aesthetic back from the dead (e.g R…

I am one of those who grew up with Sim City/Transport Tycoon. I will definitely try this when it's released and go back into nostalgia but with a modern touch. Adding it to my wishlist right now. Good luck with wrapping this up towards a release!

An immobiliser for my car. Had trouble finding devices that would cover the specific attack vectors my car would be susceptible to. Checked my insurance, no specific clauses around immobilisers, check relevant road laws, no issues there. I have a fairly novel approach to operating it, and in the case of one time theft prevention security through obscurity is actually a great approach. The assailant only has a short t…

I’ve seen implementations which need a magnet pressed to the door plastic in a specific place. Security through obscurity as you say but clever anyway - you basically need both a magnet on hand and know where to hold it.

Or time to pull the car apart

My wife and I continue to work on Uruky, a EU-based Kagi alternative [1]. Since last month we got deals with a couple more search providers but we’re still waiting for EUSP/STAAN to provide us with an API key (we have progressed through a few more forms and signatures and legal stuff, though). We’ve continued to get some paid customers and have exited beta last week, given everyone seemed to be quite satisfied and th…

Hi Bruno - this looks great! I remember collaborating with you a couple times on Kagi's browser extensions. Was there a specific moment that made you want to work on Uruky, or was it because of the overall direction Kagi is heading in?
