Built/building godom, a framework that lets me build local apps in Go, with the browser serving as a dumb view layer. I don't hate JavaScript or React, but my primary motivation was to eliminate NPM as much as possible. https://github.com/anupshinde/godom I used AI to create the first POC, and once it was proven, it was improved, and AI handled a lot of grunt work where it could. The framework was built primarily to solve my pain points

And building Fractiz.com, a customizable pre-coded backtests platform.

Working on an Emacs-like editor that uses Clojure instead of Emacs Lisp. It has a C kernel and then uses libsci (Small Clojure Interpreter, built with GraalVM, so it has no Java dependency at runtime).

I call it Hammock, in honor of Rich Hickey's "Hammock Driven Design" https://github.com/tlehman/hammock

I'm continuing to hack on Tiled Words, my daily word puzzle! https://tiledwords.com After winning the Playlin Player's Choice award I've noticed an uptick in players as well as some people sharing videos on YouTube which has been fun. I've got a few thousand people playing every day. I just launched user accounts today so user's can now track their progress across devices and share their stats with each other. This e…

I can't say I'm a regular user but a while ago I stumbled upon another post about tiledwords while a loved one was in the hospital and it was a fun and welcome distraction to solve some of the puzzles together while stuck in an otherwise grim environment.

Thanks for making this and I wish you all the success in the future.

My mother is living alone in her house and we are getting to the point where she might not be able to live alone. I built "Still Kicking", a picture frame that monitors her motion and sends back basic reports and can detect falls and sleep quality to a phone app, to help give her more time at home. It's just an mmWave sensor connected to an ESP32. But it works nicely, and I'm thinking of starting a company making the…

Look into some of the products and services used in Japan for elderly care at home.

My FIL, in his late 80's was living at home alone. My wife used a monitoring service, provided by local package delivery company. They installed motion sensors in the toilet and on the door. If no motion detected for 24 hours, the company will alert my wife by phone and send the nearest delivery driver to check on him.

I myself have tried Home Assistant setup on Raspberry Pi and variety of sensors for different purposes.
