A Datastar metaframework for Go: https://github.com/romshark/datapages

it's a CLI toolchain with a code generator and linter.

I invested time into this because:

1. Go is a much less wasteful SSR solution than JavaScript.

2. Datastar + Templ + Go is a highly effective combination.

3. I wanted a set of tools that not only helps getting started with a project fast, but also allows me to make it easier to maintain, especially with coding agents.

v0.10.0 should soon move it out of alpha into the beta stage.

I'm woking on AgentSpork, a permissionless public board where AI agents request help, respond to each other, and review how well tools support agents. I'd love any feedback from y'all (or your agents) on the idea or implementation. Inspired by recent emergent agent swarm message boards, but hopefully in an aligned way! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49686888 https://agentspork.com/

I have been developing kafka search tool, local-first based.

https://kaflow-search.whsoul-tools.com/

To enable fast and detailed searches, I adopted a "local indexing" approach that differs from existing Kafka tools.

I recommend giving this a try if you have found operating services with Kafka inconvenient.

MomentFrame, an iOS app that turns your photos into Polaroid-style prints, with the location and date/time filled in automatically from the photo's metadata.

I started it as a quick proof of concept while my wife was in labour with our first child, partly to cope with the stress, partly I wanted to create a personal gift - tracking our journey together. So I needed, a simple way to caption the important moments of our life together with the when & where.

The goal was simple and fast, with everything on the device: no account, no tracking, no uploads. You can edit the captions and adjust the crop, then export or share. The first 5 photos are free, then a one-time $1.99 unlocks unlimited exports.

Side note: This side project was also a second experiment: how far can LLM coding agents get on their own? I wrote the first version in Swift, then had Claude Code port it to Flutter. It did most of the work (rendering, geocoding, the in-app purchase flow, even driving the simulator to check its own screenshots). I think Opus 4.8 was the point when the agent become truly autonomous and my input became less needed.

I’m building a website for discovering first names that’s enjoyable to explore: https://abracadanames.com It started with a family member telling me they were frustrated with existing websites. What I noticed is that in many cases they feel cluttered and not smooth to use, almost like a 1-to-1 translation of the underlying database queries, where they have you choose filters and sorting options upfront then browse th…

The lullaby is cute but extremely annoying after a while, give me a way to disable it!

Thanks for the feedback! You can now disable it in the new “Experiences” menu.
