Build complex Spotify playlists by wiring together components in a visual editor. Mix, filter, and sort tracks from any source (with Last.fm and Musicbrainz support). Combine multiple playlists, saved tracks, and recommendations. Filter by genre, audio features, popularity, and more. Schedule programs to keep playlists updated automatically.

https://getkakeibo.com - an extremely simple app to get your finances in order, based on the kakeibo method. You make a plan for your month (income, fixed expenses) and then you track your expenses daily, categorising them into simple buckets: wants, needs, culture and unexpected. At the end of the month, the app guides you through a reflection flow where you can learn about your habits and think about what you want…

Maybe add a link to playstore/appstore under the generated promo code

small things like this have outsized effect

https://cotect.dev I was frustrated with not being able to properly review code changes that agents make, looking for a middle ground between VSC and Claude Code. So I built one. Still in early development but its working (mostly) and I hope dogfooding will get me all the way to something great :)

What issue do you have specific with reviewing ai code?

Still working on WORDTRAK, a Scrabble/Wordle esque game. I’ve got 25-30 people playing the daily game and trying to grow it!

I wrote about how I built the game’s dictionary and how hard the problem is: https://wordtrak.com/blog/2026-06-05-how-i-built-a-new-dicti...

The most surprising thing from the last month has been building a Discord app/activity has driven the most amount of engagement. Once it’s in your chat it tends to become a daily habit!

Everyone is working on personal agents but their identity model is wrong. They act as you, risk your reputation, your data and more. Nym is a personal agent that has (and can make) all of its own accounts and only gets selective read only access to yours.

The goal is to make reliable agents that are able to operate safely in the world to help you do what you want, without exposing your accounts and personal identity to potential harms.

For instance nyms have their own e-mail addresses at nym-mail.com, you can CC them on chains and they can only respond to people on that chain with a lease of 5 days, or permanently for people you specifically add.

Angel Investor Simulator:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4771830/Angel_Investor_Si...

You bid against other investors in a show similar to the Shark Tank and then you assign advisors to help the startup grow and finally cash out after IPO.

The ideas that startups have are wacky for the fun factor, but the economic simulation underneath is realistic.

There will be a free playable demo soon.

I've been deep in the IntelliJ plugin rabbit hole.

My primary project is Mermaid Studio, an IDE grade Mermaid diagram authoring experience for both humans and agents built for JetBrains IDEs. Semantic highlighting, refactoring, 120+ inspections covering everything from common rendering issues and foot-guns to obscure syntax quirks, contextual completions, interactive (drag-and-drop) diagram editing and styling. A suite of included MCP tools surfaces the plugin's intelligence and rendering capabilities, so your preferred agent (even using relatively small local models) can generate correct diagrams, even the newest or more obscure ones with ease.

Tinkering with several other IntelliJ plugin ideas that may or may not end up being released.

Still occasionally pushing up new features Tachi Code, my browser extension that brings a feature rich, highly customizable, Monaco Editor based code editor to the browser surfaces you always wished would be less of a pain to read. These days, I mostly use it for reading and printing Markdown files.
