I've been working on MCP integration with Minecraft so that you can build with AI.
It's silly and useless but I'm having fun.

#802In reaction to recent AUR supply chain attacks, I am working on two small tools to try to help address the issue for myself.
First, `aurgate`, a small AUR helper which is more barebones than alternatives but provides a "full diff" workflow. The idea is to make upgrades feel like a "full diff review" and also support graphical tools like meld or the vs code diff viewer.
Second, `flatgate`. This tool is inspired by LittleSnitch and Flatseal. Here the idea is to "default deny" all permissions of newly installed flatpaks and allow/whitelist per invocation (where possible) or on first use.

#806I'm working on Glyph, Its a is a statically typed functional language in the ML family.
Surface syntax is mostly SML-1997-ish, but underneath it's a different thing: simple-sub type inference, algebraic effects, modular implicits, and Perceus-style reference counting instead of a tracing GC.
The compiler is currently a Rust frontend -> Zig codegen -> native binary pipeline.
Its been a lot of fun thus far.

#807Long time ago I got tired of all the worthwhile weightlifting apps wanting a monthly payment for full feature set while delivering an uninspiring, cross-platform experience.
Out of my love for weightlifting and iOS native apps I began building Plates as a one-time purchase for the full, premium experience. Completely native with SwiftUI and some UIKit. It has been half a year since I first released it and still going strong. Adding more and more features I myself find worthwhile as time goes on.

#809Still working on GhanaHousePlanner, we have integrated a robust cost estimator based on geometry of the house generated from the floorplans, this has allowed us to achieve very good results for the estimated cost by factoring in lots of inputs that would have been complex to handle since we generate the plans on the fly.
We are currently expanding the architectural drawings and structural analysis and also export formats. The goal is still to offer everyone in tropical countries the tools to understand their house construction before they go to meet professionals.

#810Still working on Hopp, an oss pair programming app. A few months ago we ported part of the frontend in rust, to work around the webrtc limitations imposed by webkit (Hopp is written in tauri), which caused some stability issues. Now the app is more stable again but we are still making improvements and fixes.
