working on artifactguesser.com - where you see an image of an artifact and guess the country of origin, and the date. free hobby project.

notable things about it: have over 230k artifacts in the database, aggregated from 7 museums - might be the biggest artifact index on the web, but idk didn't look hard.

has multiplayer. Its just fun to see weird stuff you wouldn't be able to see in museums. Its stumbleupon but for artifacts. Its been very fun to work on.

Future stuff: 3D museums, 3D artifacts, and building hidden tombs to protect and preserve artifacts into the far future

Another self navigating robot. Really need to nail down IMUs and mixing these 8x8 ToF ranging sensors with cameras to get better depth. FPGAs are on my list too, I bought an orange crab like 4 years ago and still haven't used it.

Trying to use local LLMs/agents but I still don't use LLMs much other than for research.

Personal finance BS, I need to get out of debt so I always write code about that, the trick is to actually follow it.

Medical SaaS for money... still building it out, recently switched over to GCP.

Working more on my customizable app for self-tracking! It combines elements from habit trackers, health logging and journaling.

The website & launch list: https://dailyselftrack.com/

Made a lot of progress recently, doing the last iteration of user testing before releasing the Android version.

Sharing some of the progress on BlueSky as well: https://bsky.app/profile/bryanhogan.com/post/3mkbzefvebc27

I had a good laugh. Well done. Could have used this 20 years ago. If you can figure out how to do this in person, you are golden.

Baton (https://getbaton.dev)

A simple organized desktop "IDE" for running lots isolated parallel coding agents without having your brain exploding. That was at least what I was trying to do when I started.

Its freemium with all features included for working on 4 concurrent worktrees at the time. No accounts or signup.
