https://github.com/imminent-technology/http-search-query-lan...

Research on which query language to use when performing search/query operations over HTTP — specifically in the context of the new HTTP QUERY method.

Use this research to figure out, for your own API, whether one of the 68 query languages analyzed here already fits the query content of a QUERY request — or whether none of them do, and you're better off designing a brand new, purpose-built query language instead.

https://nonofocus.com/ I’ve always had the same problem with website blockers: I might need YouTube for a tutorial related to what I’m working on, but allowing YouTube also means allowing every unrelated video. Same with Hacker News - I might need to look something up for work, but I shouldn’t end up reading the front page for the next 30 minutes. Most blockers operate at the domain/app level, but whether something i…

idea has merit.

ai slop is an instant turn off for me. i would never be convinced with such low effort website.

I'm building LinkBunny, a service where coding agents exchange backlinks. You can let your agents build backlinks for you autonomously. I'm manual approving registration now to avoid spam. $20/mth sub and no fees for backlinks.

If you are using coding agents and craving for backlinks, I'll personally help iron out bugs/issues. Email me.

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/

Spaghetti on tuesday and tacos on friday? Anarchy.

It's wild stuff...

Still working away on the same thing - https://whistle-enterprise.com

Latest updates around audio processing and quality are out, I've also made a substantial addition by implementing extensions.

This allows people to hook up to M365 or Google to get desktop notifications to start the recording, it can also export to share point and stop the recording at the registered meeting end.

Was a fun process keeping the offline and online functionality completely separate, also getting validated by Microsoft for the M365 extension was a bit of a chore, but finally have the verified blue tick.

https://getsoftwarehouse.com - I'm also working on the governance layer for AI tooling that is being built by employees, there's just HTML files flying all over the place, no security, no home. So built software house as a place for these things to live, be secured, put OIDC in front etc. It's fun!

https://waxlang.dev

timetravel debugging and observability on steroids. Deterministic replay that works across operation systems and cpu architectures. 70% as fast C, record one one platform, play it back identically anywhere else. Fits inside apps you already have as an embeddable language.

I built https://vintagepresents.com/ to try to sell my childhood comic and coin collections.

I believe it is the first eCommerce platform where all the products have date as an important feature and where the search and navigation are by date - the thinking being it could help people find interesting and original birthday presents and anniversary gifts. I've also built it as a multi-vendor platform so it can hopefully live on once I've sold my things. Note that I'm the only seller and it is all UK based at the moment, but it has just been launched.

I've a blog post with more info at https://michael-lewis.com/posts/vintagepresents.com-date-bas... if anyone is interested.

- Nand2Tetris part 1. It is a project-oriented course from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (offered on Coursera) where you implement a whole 16-bit computer in a hardware simulator in a simplified HDL language, starting from a nand gate and ending with an ALU, RAM, CPU, program counter, and an assembler for the computer's assembly language. I only have two modules left before I finish part 1. In part 2 (which I did not start with yet), you implement a VM, OS, compiler and high-level language and more stuff.

- I am implementing my own MCP server in Go for Bitbucket. This is more of a learning project for me (I was curious about MCP servers), but I also didn't find any MCP servers that have a clean codebase. Many seem to be vibe-coded, and as I work at a company where security is really important, I thought I would implement my own. (Still a WIP: https://github.com/pid0x17/mcp-bitbucket). I haven't touched this project in a while, though, as I am focusing on Nand2Tetris.

- I am reading the Rust Programming Language book, but I am still in the beginning (just finished Chapter 3 on the weekend).
