#162I continue to work on my city builder game Microlandia, launched here in HN ~6 months ago. I originally predicted a few dozen urbanism nerds would play it, but now almost 10,000 copies sold. I'm still a solo developer but now I collaborate with 2D, 3D and music artists. Which is good because the original art that I drew myself for the launch was horrible. I'm currently working on modeling energy, climate and new poli…
Man looks amazing, the detail level of the simulation seems to be in another level compared to sity skylines and co.

#163When I was working at amazon (left May 8) working on agents was all the rage. Combined with initiatives that set goals for nearly all services to have a MCP built and available by the end of the year agents will be even more emphasized in the future. However what happens when you actually build and launch your agent is customers try it, do some initial runs and then go ask your manager to automate their use case. Tha…
Interesting to hear that Amazon is doubling down on mcp

#164I'm working on a semantic layer for Nextcloud: https://astrolabecloud.com
The service is composed of two open-source services, namely a Nextcloud app (Astrolabe) and backend (nextcloud-mcp-server). I use the service as an MCP server across a number of apps, and others use it primarily for semantic search over large numbers of documents.
Both are open source, and I'm working on a managed offering, completely based in the EU, for individuals/teams that already use Nextcloud and want to be able to use semantic search across some or all of their documents.
Essentially your data stays in Nextcloud, and the MCP server backend keeps a vectordb in sync to enable semantic queries over your content. The number of supported apps is growing, including:
- notes
- deck cards
- files
- news items (RSS feeds)
- cookbook recipes
- contacts & calendar
And I'm adding support for other apps as I go.

#165I’m developing a class for non-technical people on the responsible use of AI.
Continuing development of online training for software testers, with a heavy emphasis on AI, since that’s where the demand is.
During a livestreamed demo yesterday, I ran into a ridiculous bug in Copilot for Excel. After all these years Microsoft still can’t manage the basics of reliability and still deny that they need good testers.

#168I needed to get customers for Hyperclast [1], but I keep putting off GTM (go to market) tasks. I'd rather be building, you know. So I created https://tractionbeast.com/ as a tool for myself. It gives me bite-sized GTM tasks every day. I just review and do them. This completely removes the inertia for me! My other founder-friends like it too so I turned it into a product.

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.
