Multi-org/Multi-team Software factory x Agent Sandbox with bring-your-own-harness model: https://xbin.dev Built for myself and my companies, OSS, maybe looking for a founder if anyone wants to make it be something, I got enough things to run heh.

This looks cool - however, I had a hard time understanding what I can use xbin for. I feel like it would be better if the landing page, or the GitHub README talked about what xbin enables me to do first, and then talk about the technical bits.

Yeah I’m still iterating on the pitch and target audience, thanks for flagging.

It’s not a general coding tool, shortest description would be “personal/company data/process management layer” or “everything a company may want an on-prem datacenter and admin (dev)team for, accelerated by AI”.

Came from finding bug shortcomings in OpenClaw/Hermes where it’s not really close to having everything needed to organise and deal with big data in a safe or efficient way.

Basically the bottleneck is building a massive amount of software around agents which won’t happen in an all-in-one harness, this attacks that problem

I'm working on a new programming language for WebAssembly GC, called Zena: https://zena-lang.dev/ It's like a fixed up TypeScript specifically tailored for Wasm GC that can produce very small and fast binaries, but also has features like pattern matching, ownership / borrow checking for resources, pipeline, tail call elimination, multi-value returns, direct WASI component integration and a lot more.

This looks pretty cool! I love TypeScript. Although for my server-side apps, I just use Deno and compile my executable that way.

I have pondered cloning Caddy in TypeScript just because...would Zena be capable of this?

Continuing to develop my LPFM radio station www.kpbj.fm

- We have accumulated almost all the equipment needed to setup our FM broadcast. The main piece of equipment we still need is the EAS Decoder.

- Our studio space build is in progress. I recently welded some tables for the booth and found an old Orban Optimod for our airchain.

- We have over 80 shows and our roster continues to grow.

If you are in Los Angeles or love community radio please reach out.

I made a very basic web app to make our family meal planning a bit easier. We’ve been using it for a few months, so now I’m trying to tidy it up so others can use it too. https://mealplannertool.com/

I need something like this. Would be nice if there was a randomizer.

This is my attempt to improve my agentic coding workflow by giving the agent an index into the source code through vector embeddings and LLM generated descriptions with local sqlite as the storage backend.

There are many similar tools, but I wanted to learn how such a tool can work by building it myself. What I like about my own version is that I kept things simple - no MCP, no server, no watches, just a CLI that uses git commit hashes to reindex only what has changed.

It's an ADHD medication companion. It helps with remembering to take your meds, understanding the effect curve, getting lifecycle notifications (when it peaks, when it starts to wear off), pacing multiple doses throughout the day, and managing your supply.

It's built for iOS and uses the apple ecosystem to ensure privacy for your health data. Data is stored in your own private iCloud account and we do not have access to it.

I'm working on a highly specialized isosurface extraction algorithm for 3D-printable surface-based lattices.

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/okaleniuk_isosurface-mesh-stl...

The lattice configuration comes from a conventional triangle mesh, so you can prepare it with any STL editor of your choice, and the lattice shape comes from a precalculated Fourier polynomial in barycentric coordinates.

I'm working on bringing birds, sounds and art to life through https://github.com/arnegiacomo/fugleramme.

An E-ink bird frame for Raspberry Pi - with real-time bird detection by audio, fully local AI, driven by BirdNET-Go rendered as real, hand-cut 1800s bird illustrations.
