Using a Muse EEG headset to read brain activity and use that to drive the output of a GAN. Similar to other projects that try to visualise or decode thoughts, but at the moment it's an art project. Obviously quite limited by compute and hardware. I'm sort of looking for collaborators / co-founders / opportunities in the AI + neuroscience + creativity space.

Tritium, the legal IDE: https://tritium.legal

This month we're focused on:

- first-party, native DMS integration;

- provider-agnostic agentic workflows; and

- enterprise-grade redlining

But of more interest to this group is probably our blog! Our latest post is about Gary Kildall's blunder quibbling over an NDA redline with IBM who was looking to give its entire enterprise away: https://tritium.legal/blog/redlining.

I'm building Tela ( https://github.com/paulmooreparks/tela ), a self-hosted relay that tunnels TCP services through encrypted WireGuard connections. The key difference from Tailscale and similar tools is that it requires no TUN adapter, no root access, and no admin privileges on either end. It runs entirely in userspace. My initial motivation was wanting to RDP and SSH into my home workstation from a locked-down corp…

> My initial motivation was wanting to RDP and SSH into my home workstation from a locked-down corporate laptop when I travel. I couldn't install Tailscale on the laptop

I'm not sure it would work but did you try running tailscale client through a docker container so it's not installed directly in your host system?

I have always wanted to buy my food directly from farms but the logistics is daunting.

So I am creating an ambitious app that uses agents

Admin: -> handles all financial transactions and manages the app

Subscriber:-> entity who orders/shops

Market: -> the agents that work with the farmers or markets

Catering: -> for any processing or recipes

Delivery: -> handles cold chain, delivery, storage

Initially I will do everything but the idea is to delegate the agents

The basic structure is in place

I "wrote" (vibe-coded) a non-chronological RSS reader. I crawled the blogrolls of some blogs I liked, fetched all the posts (with full text) and ran a clustering algorithm on them. LLMs classify the content to filter out meta/political/personal posts. And a LLM gives names to the clusters by sampling the contents.

It's an amazing source of long things to read. There is so much stuff worth reading that has been posted in several decades of blogging.

Following up the comment i made last month, I'm a solo dev building a handful of apps across different niches.

- Plask ( https://plask.dev ) — Google Analytics (GA4) connected analytics dashboard for people who ship multiple products. I got tired of manually checking separate GA4 properties for all my apps and SaaS projects, and setting up individual MCP integrations for each felt like overkill when I just wanted a quick overview. So I built a single dashboard that connects all your GA4 properties, runs statistical anomaly detection, sends alerts when something breaks, and generates AI weekly digests. Free tier for 2 properties, Pro at $9/mo.

- 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.

- APIDrift ( https://apidrift.dev ) — Monitors changelogs for APIs, SDKs, and libraries you depend on so you don't get blindsided by upstream breaking changes. Scrapes docs, diffs changes, classifies severity with AI, and sends digest emails. Track your dependencies, get alerted when something breaks. Free tier covers 3 sources with weekly digests. Built with Next.js, Supabase, and Gemini Flash.

- Mockingjay ( https://apps.apple.com/app/id6758616261 ) — iOS app that records video and streams AES-256-GCM encrypted chunks to your Google Drive in real-time. By the time someone takes your phone, the footage is already safe in the cloud. Built for journalists, activists, and anyone who needs tamper-proof evidence. Features a duress PIN that wipes local keys while preserving cloud backups, and a fake sleep mode that makes the phone look powered off during recording.

- Stao ( https://stao.app ) — A simple sit/stand reminder for standing desk users. Runs in the system tray, tracks your streaks, zero setup. Available on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android.

- MyVisualRoutine ( https://myvisualroutine.com ) — This one is personal. I have three kids, two with severe disabilities. Visual schedules (laminated cards, velcro boards) are a lifeline for non-verbal children, but they're a nightmare to manage and they don't leave the house. So I built an app that lets you create a full visual routine in about 20 seconds and take it anywhere. Choice boards, First/Then boards, day plans, 50+ preloaded activities, works fully offline. Free tier is genuinely usable. Available on iOS and Android.

- Linetris ( https://apps.apple.com/app/id6759858457 ), a daily puzzle game where you fill an 8x8 grid with Tetris-like pieces to clear lines. Think Wordle meets Tetris. Daily challenges, leaderboards, and competititve play against friends.

And much more, you can find more on my blog https://tskulbru.dev , im even doing an agentic workflow course for those who havent gotten started doing that yet. Although I guess most people here have :)

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 love tiled words, I've actually been doing the daily puzzle for a while, have completed over a 100 of them! It's part of my morning routine :)

I'm not sure if it would fit the theme, but sometimes I end up searching what an expression means, or where does it come from. Maybe it would be cool to have a little info box after you discover what the word is. Just an idea! Not sure if it would clutter things, and you can always search it yourself, but something I've been thinking about. I still remember looking up peanut gallery and sand dollar!
