4 years later and I'm still working on ntfy. Trying to make push notifications easy as pie. I would have never thought that it would blow up like this. It's still a lot of fun, and I've learned a lot. Thanks everyone for your support and for your amazing ideas and contributions. Open source is awesome. HN ist awesome. https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy

Claude Code informed me of this great tool. Now I use it at least weekly.

Keep up the great work!

Working mostly on https://localhero.ai, automating i18n translations for product teams (runs as a GitHub Action, translates new strings on PRs matching your brand voice and glossary). Got a new paying customer just now, a pretty big Swedish company, been working closely with the team to add an improved review flow to match their needs.

Most interesting work this month came from a customer in Japan who wanted something I hadn't built called "Easy Japanese" (やさしい日本語), which is like a simplified version for non-native readers. Turned into supporting fully custom locales. Also been improving how the GH action picks up manual changes to target translations in commits, they now get ingested back for review, making things a bit more flexible.

On the side, https://infrabase.ai (AI infrastructure tools directory) had its best month yet, up ~40% visitors MoM. Interesting finding is still the GEO angle, visitors arriving from Claude/ChatGPT/Perplexity spend 2-6 minutes on the site. Been making comparison pages more "extractable" for AI answers with job-tagged tables and some have now held their Perplexity citations for weeks.

Good start of the month with user discussions and feedback.

taking sabbatical from work (after getting laid off) went to visit family in moldova. my nieces tell me there is no app to learn romanian online - this cant be true.

I do a bit of research and turns out this is mostly true, mostly these websites built for english speaking people, meaning you learn romanian - but starting from english.

at the same time I need to dig in into all the rails 8 goodies. also, I've been hearing about this cloudflare thing, and not knowing what's that about. also, heroku is shit now, so Im curious to try some new server, hetzner u say? - wonder what's that like.

kamal is a thing now, ok.

but coding is ... time and energy intensive, what is this vibecoding ppl talking about?

anyhow May 20th I sit down to "vibecode" an app - see what happens. one thing led to another and here we are

https://vorbim.org/

found some romanian words ranked by frequency. found free open db of romanian words on dexonline. found google TTS to transform text to sound. found that cloudflare has storage sooooo much cheaper than aws s3 (only one I used for decade) found that cloudflare has some neat useful features. found that server at hetzner is pretty cheap and with ai easy to setup. found that fable/opus are great at generating content (with some hand holding) found that AI now is stupid good at building / designing websites.

it was impossible for me to build something like this without second monitor and tweaking css for days/weeks. now? I just tell it make it pretty. god damn. inspiring and disheartening at the same time.

KEIBIDROP: Peer to Peer Instant file sharing

https://keibidrop.com

https://github.com/KeibiSoft/KeibiDrop/

It leverages virtual mount points to make file metadata available between Alice and Bob, and make the files appear as if locally.

So for example instead of waiting to upload then download a Blu Ray movie, or a large game, you can just add it into the virtual mountpoint and your recipient can instantly play it, or install it, and the download happens in the background with random offset jumps, and caches it locally.

Working on:

https://www.novopathmedical.com/ - evidence-based guidance of diet, exercise, and mental health via SMS for end users. Clinician-guided feedback to bots.

https://github.com/rush86999/atom - ai agent workforce. Harder than expected. There are so many issues with sync with 3rd party apps. Need to launch the first one, so this is getting put on the back burner. landing page: https://atomagentos.com/

I'm building a video game. It's a Retro Survival Crafting RPG that crams the gameplay of Valheim into the tile-based UI of Ultima IV. https://stravaeger.com/ It's all vanilla Javascript, running in the browser, so you can wreck today's productivity right this minute if you like. It has multiplayer support, so I'll stand up a server in case anybody wants to jump in.

This looks really fun and is right up my alley. It could use some "stones"-style music. :)

Been learning electronic PCB design the last few weeks while retrofitting some IKEA window shades for Zigbee enabled motorization. I've really enjoyed the journey of 3D printing and being able to create all kinds of mechanically useful things over the last few years, but I had always wanted to go even further and incorporate some non-trivial custom electronics. For this project I had a space constraint for the motor…

This is how it starts my friend. Before you know it you have a lot of projects 90% done and living in production without ever getting the last 10% before you think of something new! Currently I'm refactoring a lot of homebrew ESPhome devices to use the ESP32-H2 as it supports Thread. This allows me to remove weak IoT SSIDs while expanding my Thread network node count for better mesh.
