Working on Pho [1] my own TUI for pull requests across multiple repositories. It aims to be direct replacement of Github web UI for 80% of the use cases. The number of PRs I have to review on a daily basis is still increasing, and I didn't really like using the web version. This is made exactly how i like it, keyboard driven and fast.

One UI for every coding agent - VS Code extension (GUI) to launch and work with any ACP-compatible agent harness. Supports Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Qwen and many others - https://agentclientprotocol.com/get-started/registry . Does not require any new subscription or user ID - this is still handled by the harness, so you can use existing Claude Code or Codex subscription. Multicoder just gives you a high-quality GUI to work with any of them without mental switching cost.

#424I'm buildingan open-source way to fill U.S. immigration forms without fighting clunky PDFs Github: https://github.com/athos2113/fillvisa-os Demo: https://fillvisa.com/demo/ US Immigration still relies on outdated XFA PDFs - you can't fill them on your browser. Most immigrants end up printing the form and fill it manually. So, I converted the PDF forms into smart web forms. They are replica of the official USCIS forms…
That's cool. How are you gonna get it in the hands of people that would need it?
Thanks!
Primarily by sharing the web version (fillvisa.com) on subreddit and FB groups. People complain about the USCIS PDF regurlarly, so, I just pitch them the website

#425https://easel.games A programming language which lets you code multiplayer games like singleplayer games. Every program written in Easel is guaranteed deterministic and snapshottable, which is how it can automatically make your game multiplayer automatically using rollback netcode. My hope is that teenagers who makes games in Scratch might like to make games in Easel because it means they can make games they can play…
What I don't understand about your idea is that netcode as far as I understand is way more complex than you make it seem. The netcode for something like a MOBA or MMORPG is drastically different than the netcode for a much simpler turn-based game. They have elaborate synchronization mechanisms to make the illusion not break-down in various ways due to latency.
And then even for simple turn-based games, there has to be elaborate fully-decided like state diagrams for all the various types of disconnect and latency states so that gameplay doesn't desynch or hitch in awkward ways.

#426https://common.charity
I’m building the UK’s ‘big data’ charity with some awesome co-trustees and volunteers. We undertake big data projects in service of human flourishing, collect and synthesize datasets from hostile actors or freedom of information requests, and collaborate with other charities to build useful things that facilitate effective coordination.
The context is that I co-run the UK’s largest and most active landlord review platform ‘Marks out of Tenancy’, and the data we aggregated and ended up being able to host and query did a number of incredibly high impact things:
- our system for identifying how many people lived in a property started getting used to find victims of human trafficking - our system for checking for HMO licensing got picked up by councils to detect 100% of illegal or rogue landlords in the scan area, as well as detecting illegal short lets. - our longitudinal data collection on housing conflict between tenants and landlords directly led to increasing the rent repayment order threshold in the renters rights act from 12 months to 24 months.
So after seeing how much data is out there ready to be used for advocacy - but just left untapped by a profit driven sector, and after years of experience as ‘activist data practitioners’ or whatever you’d want to call it, we decided to launch something that could be a home for those projects in the spaces we’re in over here in the UK.
We’ve already got some awesome projects underway and we’re excited to see how year 0 goes for us!

#427I'm working on a new type of calculator with natural language, similar to Soulver but for the web, in multiple languages and with AI mode https://ottercalc.com/ It has the ability to generate a small notebook from a problem description using AI (still has a lot of room to improve), but the calculation uses a deterministic engine. Right now I'm working on collaboration.
It is a novel idea. Excellent implementation.

#428https://grandpacad.com - AI modeling for 3D printing Been at it for about year and a half. Really exciting stuff is happening literally every month, because underlying models are getting better and better. When I started it was pretty basic: “make a cube with a hole through it”. Now it’s at the point “make a raspberry pi 4 case” and the agent searches, builds, verifies… What surprised me in this process is how little…
You mentioned benchmarks don’t mean much in this area. What are the best models you found in this area? Personally, I’ve had the most success with GPT models using MCP servers for this task.
Surprisingly Gemini models. Spatial understanding seems to be the best for the price and speed.

Apple preview and the add text button got me through all the USCIS forms. You can use AI computer control to do this stuff now, right?

#430I'm helping my wife build https://quantral.com - initially we put it together to track stock sentiment/crowd wisdom on social networks for our own investments. This is something I was previously doing manually every morning while having breakfast. I couldn't find a similar project to satisfy my needs for discovering hot stocks and the track records of people who mentioned those stocks on finx and /r/wsb. We are now planning to add congressional trading as another data source.
