#863I'm building https://jsonquery.app to query, store, and organize JSONs, with natural language querying so you don't have to learn another query language.
Also building BetterGit: (https://www.satishmaha.com/BetterGit/) A simpler, cross platform Git GUI where all the commonly used actions are right in front of you
And also Crush Depth: A remake (from 13y ago) of a tower defense game for Apple's platforms (iOS, iPadOS, and macOS). Checkout the TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/gkD5c2U1

#864I've coerced Codex and Claude to build Cloudflare-but-shit because I wanted to have healthcheck-based DNS records (A, CNAME) so I can host stuff on 100 RPis in 100 different places with any type of connection (public IP or behind a CGNAT).
It has DDNS, Tunnels, very-flexible-record definition and Anubis will be implemented soon or you can bring your own.
Powered by PowerDNS and Rails, and if I get some free time I'd like to just have this as an actual offering since I always fear Cloudflare putting more and more things behind a paywall.
Shockingly, it works, obviously the DNS I'm doing now isn't RFC compliant, but this already scratches my itch.

#865I've built a tool that analyses UK company accounts data to highlight various forms of unfair treatment of workers, such as serious wage decline in spite of soaring profits.
All data sourced from Companies House as xbrl or pdf.
The trickiest part was all the unexpected edge cases I found in the data, but that's also where most of the learning (aka fun) was found. For instance, before starting this project I didn't know that negative turnover was possible, or that accounting periods vary between years and can be 52/53 weeks to make sure they end on a specific day of the week. The more I learned, the more aware of my ignorance in this regard!
Here is a typical example:
> Between 2024 and 2025, workers at this company each lost £4,196 due to a combination of falling pay and price inflation.
(User clicks/taps through if they want details and method)
I've also noticed a high representation of care-home providers appearing in the results. It's something I want to dig into but it's unexplained (to me) for now. Possibly it's related to a higher proportion of workers on zero-hours contracts.
It's also been challenging to present less obvious factors such as nominal and real wages alongside inflation metrics, all intended for a non-technical audience. Consequently I've spent a disproportionate amount of time on the wording for each type of inequality, and I'm still tinkering.
Not ready to share the URL just yet, as the site could easily be abused or the facts taken out of context and used to mislead or unfairly (lol) condemn. It may never be public, but I definitely have an audience in mind.
Ideas for development include - sector/industry analysis and comparisons - an inequality leader-board of some kind - sentiment analysis from director reports - search and filter

#866I'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…
Nice! It looks essentially like userspace NAT, only active for particular ports. I'm contemplating a similar setup to handle access to my home machines: when I'm in my home network, some ports are forwarded to 127.x.y.z directly from the remote machine, and when I'm away, the same ports are forwarded via a Wireguard connection. This way, at home I can use the full speed of the LAN, and when away, the speed is limited by the Wireguard gateway, but I still connect to the same host:port, wherever I am.

#867Bid-Euchre.com (https://bid-euchre.com/) - If you have ever played Euchre this is a bid based way to determine suit. A lot of people in my home town play it. Just hit 5k completed games.

#868I am building Hypen, a UI framework that enables you to stream native UI to any platform (Android, iOS, Web, Desktop soon) from the server.
It supports languages like Rust, TS, Kotlin, Swift and Go for the backend. Comes with things like reactivity, tailwind support, routing out of the box. It basically lets you update apps without the app store, use the same codebase for all platforms or have custom server-driven modules in your apps.
Upcoming cool things: - Working on canvas support so you can easily switch or render anything in canvas. - Building an stdlib so apps can also be compiled and client-only - Easy way to deploy apps
Open sourcing this in a few days, it's still early alpha now.

#870I'm training a latent diffusion model on weather radar data to predict short-term storm behavior. Decent results so far on downscaled data at +30min, training a full-res model at +1h and +2h horizons now. Excited to see how it does!
