I am working on this Review Flow. An extention for Cursor / VScode to enable IDE as first class for code reviews.

It came from a frustration that I needed to switch between the browser and the IDE to navigate through the code and leaving comments on Gitlab at the company.

So I thought it could useful to create something and let it be accessible to the public as open source.

link: https://github.com/LuyandaLia/reviewflow

In a nutshell, it accepts draft comments, which can be modified and submitted.

It auto configs the env for Python as it uses FastAPI for calls to Gitlab.

It's my initial attempt. Suggestions, reviews, contributions are invited.

One love

This month I have mainly been building my fork of tiny-dfr so that my 2019 mbp touchbar isn’t useless when on hyprland/cosmic

https://github.com/keloran/tiny-dfr

Unfortunately due to the way GitHub defaults to creating prs in the parent fork, I have accidentally created a few invalid prs in asahi before I was ready, and now am banned from creating a good upstream one

I've been climbing for a decade, but over the past 3 years I've put on a bunch of weight due to work and certain life events. But I want to change that.

I know what motivates me: seeing progress. The feedback loop of "do X, see Y gain" is what keeps me going.

So I started building an integrated dashboard that can aggregate data from multiple systems:

- My digital scale

- Apple Watch (sleep + running performance)

- Beastmaker Motherboard, which is an electronic board that you attach a hangboard to and it shows you various stats like how much force you're applying

The idea is that every morning I'll open the dashboard and be able to see exactly how much progress I've made the previous day: weight loss, strength gain, cardio performance.

It's an interesting problem. There's essentially two parts to it: Apple Health, which aggregates data from the scale and the Apple Watch and can POST-export it hourly, and the electronic board, which sends data via BLE in real time. The destination for both of these will probably be an always-on Raspberry Pi 5, but I haven't decided yet. Then I'll have a small server app that can pull the data from the Pi and draw some fancy charts.

I needed to get customers for Hyperclast [1], but I kept procrastinating on the 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 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.

If you're an early stage b2b founder, I'd love to hear your feedback about TractionBeast.

I am building Bloomberry (https://bloomberry.com), an alternative to tools like BuiltWith/Wappalyzer to provide sales signals when companies subscribe or churn from over 1600 B2B tech products. Think backend/backoffice tools like Hubspot CRM, or Netsuite, or Microsoft 365, rather than frontend technologies like Wordpress or React.
