I've been working on a web application for learning 倉頡輸法 https://demo.cangjieworkbook.com/ , no login required for the demo version (Cangjie Input method). It's a visual way of decomposing Chinese characters. It has a high initial learning curve so I've come up with a method based on the ways QWERTY is taught. I've added a few more texts and lessons in the last month. The most time consuming part is adding annotations to characters to show how they are composed, but it is worth doing. I already have a couple of users and they have given me helpful feedback. If you are interested, check it out and let me know how it goes.

Enjoying the work on MyTraL - sovereign athlete / personal training log: https://mytral.fitness/

I went on sabbatical to fulfill my dream project - consolidating years of training logs. I'm enjoying the technical challenges involved - digitizing paper hand written logs / visual models, navigating the maze of athletic metrics with their crazy trademarked names and multidimensional models. Having fun building AI coaches: agents ranging in character from Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday to the coach from my teenage years, utilizing ICL model-based predictions, ... and more.

The best part is the rush of memories while ingesting my own history - photos and recordings I completely forgot, as well as navigating data shared by friends.

This month has Strava & LeCol everesting challenge - signed up and added support that suits my needs to MyTraL. Good times.

Still doing https://rcarmo.github.io/projects/piclaw (which is my main “IDE” now), ended up forking https://github.com/rcarmo/tau-prime to have something I could run on my iPad (and on the Mac, with a simple sandbox), hoping to get back to 3D printing (https://taoofmac.com/space/notes/2026/07/12/1230) and playing with hardware.

Oh, and migrating most of my stuff to microvms on https://rcarmo.github.io/projects/pve-microvm/

I'm continuing to build out OneBusAway Cloud (Heroku for public transit), just like last month. https://onebusawaycloud.com. Since last month, the overall polish and feature completeness of the product has improved substantially, and we're starting to see meaningful inbound interest.

Beyond that, I've been plugging away on improving the user experience of the OneBusAway iOS app, and plan on launching a major overhaul of the stop page experience later this week: https://bsky.app/profile/onebusaway.bsky.social/post/3mqj4ua...

I also recruited a new Android app maintainer who has been doing amazing work!

If you want to explore our new transit API server, I wrote up a blog post a couple months ago to walk you through the basics: https://opentransitsoftwarefoundation.org/2026/04/setting-up... (data for your location can be found at https://www.transit.land/operators)

You can find all of our OSS work at https://github.com/onebusaway — we have projects written in SvelteKit, Go, Swift, Kotlin, and much more.

Recently launched https://hellbox.com (formerly Font Proof) and am still actively working on it. It is a native macOS app for font proofing. It watches your type design software like Glyphs, RoboFont, and FontLab or any font file or designspace on your machine and reloads the font proof when you save.
