I've been excited about OpenRouter's OAuth 2.0 PKCE flow for backendless BYOK inference. I just updated my Garmin watch AI app (https://untether.watch/en/apps/byok) to run the whole flow on the watch for a seamless BYOK experience - formerly you had to copy/paste your Gemini key into settings, which was a huge barrier.

If you're building client-side/frontend apps and want to let your users BYOK, OpenRouter's PKCE flow is great for that.

Otherwise I'm still working on Untether (https://untether.watch) - a suite of digital-minimalism apps that let you stay connected and do quick actions on the watch while keeping your smartphone out of sight (and your hands).

I am building a cloud hosting company that exposes the cloud as a single docker host. No VMs to manage, just containers and easy controls to set the number of CPUs, RAM, disk that you want your containers to have access to.

Joyent did something like this ~11 years go, and I loved using it, but then they where acquired by Samsung and shut down their public (non-enterprise) offering.

This is try 3 at building something as good, and it is working!

Yeah for hand crafted Rust!

I built a kind of paas for llms, the idea was to allow my family deploy webs cheap and easy, my family doesn't use It, but It end being very useful form mento deploy small apps. You can check It out on https://onvibe.run there is a list of forkable apps that I use.

I did some kind of meta thing, because bownI can create apps with llm (like Claude) and expose an mcp on theme (like the notes and todolist apps).

1. Translating 1000s of NeoLatin, Chinese and Sanskrit books for the first time At the Embassy of the Free Mind in Amsterdam, we’ve created https://SourceLibrary.org , a collection of over 15,000 translations of Renaissance and premodern books in NeoLatin, Chinese, Sanskrit, etc. There are a lot of beautiful books to look at — and you can use it with Claude code.

Wow, this is like... exactly(?) what I needed? (and since this is on topic for this discussion... What am I working on? Learning and writing about metaphysics and magic.)

This is wonderful stuff.

The web UI didn't vibe with me too well though. The only thing I saw on the first page was "Your email address or continue with Google". I mean, reading the books apparently do not require my email address or logging in, but I figured out much later only due to the fact that I really wanted to see the contents. (I'd imagine if somebody was only marginally interested they might have been scared away by the "give us your email address" thingy.)

Also, when reading the book contents, the browser back button didn't work for me. Felt a bit clunky for some reason. Couldn't put my finger on any specific issue other than the back button, but somehow didn't feel smooth. (I'm not a web frontend dev, so this is just my personal feeling.)

All that said, this is a wonderful resource.

Building an unified admin platform[0] for Source game servers & the alikes. I grew up playing Source games and ran a few, but there were always gaps between all the various OSS plugins you install and were quite fragmented, and never designed to work well with each other.
