I was interested in learning more about reverse image search, so I built audioguide.london. It’s a simple image search where you take a photo of an artwork in a gallery, tries to ID it and returns a pre-generated audio and a link to the museum website.

The audios were all generated locally, essentially looking at the contents of the website, running it through a LLM to generate a script and Kokoro for TTS.

I’ve built it as an app for myself almost a year ago, so I deployed it as a vibe coded website in here: https://audioguide.london/

I rewrote Chucks [American] Football Pool in Newspeak!

Having a hard deadline of Sept 1st, I wasn't sure three months would be enough time. In Newspeak, it took all of three WEEKs to get it to it's current state.

One of the best features is the fact that it's local ONLY. It uses IndexedDB (Newspeak library written by yours truly) to persist the data, meaning zero backend headaches. It also makes it usable by the masses where the Seaside version had many problems in this regard.

Chrome only. No Clod.

Curious if it works on your browser.

I heard an episode of the Odd Lots podcast about HayWire (haywireag.com), a site that pulls public data from government PDFs + APIs, uses LLMs to parse it and turns it into an easily readable website that has all of the latest info on hay prices. The host made an offhand mention that there's probably a bunch of other similar sites that could be created with all the of useful but difficult-to-access government data ou…

Not an email newsletter service but a contact form. I recently added the ability for LLMs to sign up to my service https://www.simplecontactform.org autonomously via API. Curious to hear your experience if you can ever make use of something like it.

My wife and I continue to work on Uruky [1], a simpler Kagi alternative, based in the EU. Last month we reached 200 monthly active accounts (we’ve passed 250 now), and last week we launched support for XMR/Monero payments via ProxyStore [2]! You can also see in our homepage that more independent bloggers and privacy-minded people have written about us! The main differences between Uruky and Kagi, DuckDuckGo, SearXNG,…

I love the idea. How do you stay competitive with the search results of, let's say, DDG? have you considered enabling an API for subscribers? Or selling an enterprise tier subsctription that comes with API?

Papermill - the document engine for AI. Turn AI content into polished documents using a new document/templating language called Press [1]

It's essentially a high-quality alternative to the HTML-PDF route so many people take for document generation. It's designed as a tool for AI agents.

Something cool we've released - an MCP server makes it possible for models like Claude to design fully-featured documents. We use this internally and some of our customers now use it to quickly build new templates.

Just launched self-serve a few weeks ago. Continuing to develop the typesetter and language behind it.

Press is the language, docs are open [2].

Would love any feedback from folks that have worked on document generation, or people with experience doing HTML->PDF.

Still kicking around with https://viberglass.io to assist the whole development team (or smaller companies) to work together on development. Hoping to open source a better multiplayer experience on it over the next few weeks and then it's moving self-hosting options towards other cloud providers.
