Launched a suite of media inspection and encoding tools a few months ago, based on FFmpeg. Slowly getting more customers.

Constantly iterating through refinement and features. It's built on Rust + Tauri with a React frontend, in case anyone is curious.

I've created various open-source and commercial tools in the multimedia space over the last 10+ years and wanted to put it all together into something more premium with an IDE-like experience.

I made it specifically to bring back what was amazing about the old internet, and do it as authentically as possible. takes inspiration from old internet messageboards, usenet, bbs, and pubnix hosts. it has sealed mail, boards, an rss reader, built-in media player, custom profiles, a links directory, and quite a bit more.

it's just a little hobby art project for me but i've really appreciated talking to like minded people in a calm space.

A focused and functional service for event hosts to collect guest photos through a shared link/QR code that leads to an upload page. Think photo gathering for weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, corporate events, big birthdays, etc.

There are many of these out there, but I found most unintuitive ("too complicated for Grandma"), too featureful, and/or much too expensive.

I was an experienced game designer and producer (mostly RTS and narrative RPG). Some years ago, my career was derailed by major health developments. Since then, I haven't been able to work as I once did. I didn't expect I'd be able to meaningfully contribute to a game again. Earlier this year, a colleague encouraged me to experiment with Claude Code. So now I have a little game project. :) Being unfamiliar with genAI…

Big fan of SW:KOTOR series. Would love to test Vestiges when ready.

You should consider creating the game on Steam, so you can start building your audience.

I'm slowly building an IDE with mentor/skill-level awareness baked in. I've noticed that juniors and new hires often fall into an impostor-syndrome trap when reading an unfamiliar codebase or reviewing a senior peer's PR. Documentation helps, but it usually runs into the curse of knowledge: it's written by someone who's spent so much time in the code that they've lost sight of what it's like to be new to it. I've alw…

Have you thought about building it as a plugin, e.g. for Jetbrains?
