I'm working on https://www.wirewiki.com.

A browsable map of internet infrastructure. Not just a collection of lookup tools, but it also interlinks results, so you can navigate linked assets as well. Think: DNS lookup -> SPF record -> mail provider's SPF record -> IP address details.

Got mad at a electronics shop chain contradictory requirements, when preparing a product description html for my company's product. Built a very simple HTML linter.

As of now You can specify those validators on a tags of your choice:

- Run a regex against a attribute's value/text node

- Min/max length a attribute

- Make a attribute required/blacklist it

- Make a whitelist/blacklist of allowed values for a attribute

Still working on Overtone, a tool that allows one to visualize the relationships documented in MusicBrainz, probably the largest crowdsourced music DB in existence, using graphs. You can right-click anything to expand into its subgraph.

It already runs pretty smoothly. Next steps are adding a way to make playlists and listen to them right there, without leaving the page. Check it out and let me know what you think! All feedback is appreciated!

I'm building ata, an open source research and coding agent. Started as an internal tool, open sourced it a few weeks ago. It helps me combine and understand concepts across multiple papers, pull the best ideas from each, and turn them into code. It uses Treesitter and Lsp for multi-repo code understanding.

The focus is on the interfaces: there's a reading view that keeps you locked in without drowning in information, and a voice mode with karaoke-style word highlighting. Also built an iOS app for research on the go, releasing that soon.

npm install -g @a2a-ai/ata https://github.com/Agents2AgentsAI/ata/

Thinking a lot lately about how AI is changing software development, and what the ideal development experience might actually look like in the future.

I’m working on CodeYam. We just recently released a lightweight CLI and a feature called CodeYam Memory. The immediate motivation was that when using Claude Code, the AI would repeat the same mistakes and our claude.md files would get stale too quickly to manually maintain. The existing options, including Anthropic’s built-in memory features, didn’t really solve the memory challenge sufficiently for us.

CodeYam Memory runs a background agent that reviews coding session transcripts, looks for patterns of confusion, and generates targeted rules with proper scoping.

It’s a small first step toward the longer-term idea I'm exploring: what an AI-native development experience should actually look like. For now, it’s packaged as a lightweight CLI you can use anywhere you’re running Claude Code.

How to try it:

Install: npm install -g @codeyam/codeyam-cli@latest

Then, from your project root run: codeyam

This will launch a dashboard with further instructions for initializing CodeYam Memory.

Free, runs locally, no login required, and language agnostic. Would love feedback.

I've been working on a Ontario open data MCP: https://github.com/sprine/ontario-data-mcp

There is a wealth of data that's behind CSVs and other data formats. This uses DuckDB as a common (local) database to cache and run queries against, and enables going across datasets for insights using LLMs.

i've been grinding away to make "Plates" the best it can be. i know building a weightlifting app is a massive cliche, but i felt compelled to make it anyway and honestly have zero regrets. i was fully expecting people to roll their eyes at yet another workout tracker, but to my surprise, the feedback has been incredibly positive.

even with everyone and their mother shipping a workout app (accelerated by the vibecoding surge), nothing quite hit the bar i was looking for. everything seemed to be built in react native, flutter, or another cross-platform framework, meaning it never truly felt at home on the device.

beyond just wanting something fully native, i felt there was a real gap in the prosumer market. i wanted to build something for people who already know what they're doing in the gym, have their program, and just want a solid tool they can actually own (it's a one-time purchase of $12.99) that at the same time gives them all the insights they'd reasonably want (muscle heatmap, 1rm breakdowns with different formulas, working volume, best volume, etc.).

the app is called Plates: Weightlifting Log. if you're interested in checking it out: https://useplates.com

I made this little DSL that's transported by the typescript syntax, but made for declaring interfaces between a typescript application and a backend. The code-generator spits out angular classes and typescript types for use by the web app, and it spits out a node backend class that you fill with the handlers for that interface. It also spits out a qt widget with the web application inside it, complete with functional plugin for the qt designer so you can drag your widget into existing UI layouts.

So you can use it to write UIs in web and use them either as regular Qt widgets or as stand-alone webapps with regular node backend.

It's really the wrong way around if you think about it.. using an inferior technology (web) for the UI part.. But somehow people prefer typing CSS and downloading gigabytes of boilerplate instead of just using a WYSIWYG designer.. I don't get that part..
