I’m iterating on my own coding agent, called `rho`. https://github.com/crustyrustacean/rho-coding-agent.git.

It’s founded in Rust and incorporates a Deno runtime for extensions.

It’s headless now, via JSON-RPC. I’ve got the basics of a trait based system which will enable different frontends. At the moment, I’ve created an extension for `pi` which allows me to use that as the frontend.

I have been experimenting with methods of reading books and creating software for these methods.

For example, I was inspired by the activeness of typelit.io when reading - typing out an entire book helped keep my mind from wandering when reading. But typing the whole book is too tedious. I wrote a few scripts to mirror the words on an epub, which does help with focus but isn't quite good enough.

My current epub reader software I use requires you to press a button to reveal the next word. This has dramatically improved my reading comprehension, prevents inadvertent skimming, and keeps my mind from wandering.

I'm still experimenting but for those who have ADHD or are borderline ADHD, it's quite a revelation - I can finally read without my mind wandering.

I’m still working on my side project, ‘Beanback’ ( https://beanback.space/ ). It provides digital loyalty cards for cafés (think of an electronic version of paper stamp cards). However with zero apps or customer signup, instead loyalty passes go straight into Apple and Google wallets. It’s written in Ruby on Rails, which I’m enjoying learning. Still a bit rough around the edges, though it’s free for now so I’d be gra…

Interesting idea! I'm keen to try it out but adding a pass to my android account fails with 'This card is for test use only. Ask your administrator to grant you access.'. There is no contact information on the website but you can reach out through the Beanback account with the same name.

I’m working on tools optimized for agents, not humans, as the main users. Token efficiency, state, and loops matter more here than traditional UX.

- vibesurfer (https://github.com/frane/vibesurfer): a web browser for agents, without Chromium and CDP.

- agented (https://github.com/frane/agented): a “text editor” for agents, with undo, state, and LSP support.

- grpvn (https://github.com/frane/grpvn): a local chat for your local agent and LLMs.

I’m working on https://getvedahome.com

My mother had a stroke a little over a month ago and I don’t live close by. I went in search of a wellness product that would let me know how she’s doing without her feeling I’m prying too much. I didn’t find one, so now I’m trying to build it. I’m also working on moving closer.
