here are a few i have put time and effort into. these are not “vibe coded”, but an agent was utilized at points to save copious amounts of time implementing my architectural decisions; my schedule is pretty slammed as is.

https://mithraeum.studio - local first agent and editor in C, also a few models on HF (mainly jsut qwen wrapped atm but working on from scratch) https://fieldopt.dev - SaaS for dispatching jobs to the field (technicians, trades, delivery, etc.) https://github.com/zblauser/ytcli - youtube music from the terminal in zig (ps it’s free, no sub needed)

A SQLite based sweeper of all the scans, notes, PDFs and images I have on my filesystem, that stores their paths and allows searching their OCR’ed descriptions and text, as provided by Mistral OCR. I can ask things like “when does my car need maintenance” or “find me that picture my kid drew for Mother’s Day”. I use pi-based bash executable to launch a doc chat like that. https://github.com/maxim/ringbinder

A voice memo app, quite like the actual voice memo app from Apple. The thing is: now I can put my voice memo's on iCloud put Claude Code on it and make my transcripts into structured notes that my app then also displays. So basically a way to just go on an hour long walk with myself, spit everything from the top of my dome stream of consciousness style, and then have Claude structure whatever I said. It's nice to hav…

I love it! But I have to ask: why not just advanced voice mode in ChatGPT or Claude?

It seems clunky for me. The dictating it self had weird bugs, like sometimes it decided to not work at all and the conversation mode is not very usefull for OP case if I am undestanding it correctly.

I made myself a tool that connects to my cdj3000x and A9 mixer over network and gets all data live from them. So bpm, pitch, song metadata etc. The tool also connects to my recordbox library and runs custom ML algos to classify for pitch, stems, tonality Phrasing, energy etc. Long story short it basically shows me ideas of what will mix in well. It works bizarrely well for me.

This sounds awesome! Is it on GitHub anywhere?
