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,…

Very cool! How long have you been working on this? How did you acquire your customers?

It's a coding harness that eschews autonomy and instead works like a pair programming partner, with distinct "driver" and "navigator" modes. I've only spent 3 weekends on it so far, so it's a long way from finished. But I am at least using opair to work on opair now, which is nice.

I didn't really want to write a harness, I just got frustrated enough that nobody else was writing the harness I actually want to use. I'll probably be the only person that uses this, but I'm fine with that.

My team participates in a World Cup prediction league, I don’t really know much about football teams but figured I’d build a prediction model to try and top the charts. Uses a Poisson distribution model and Monte Carlo simulations. I wrote up the process and the maths as well as generated some inline SVGs (no chart library). Next working on whether Dixon-Coles low scoring correction would have had an impact on the outcome and in which direction. Link to the write up if anyone is interested: https://haywire.blog/posts/i-built-a-robot-instead-of-having...

I have been able to revamp my recruitment product with AI. Once the deterministic parts are done, I will add AI capabilities to it. I even made an AI generated interactive demo. https://www.hiretale.com/#interactive-demo
