Youtube sub list viewer + Youtube TV scheduler

Setup a little finicky, have to do via google sheet / appscript to access use your youtube API quota.

Build and share custom youtube TV stations.

I mainly use the primary table view, you can double sort columns, middle click title column to queue a playlist based on how table is sorted, it'll generate playlist for X minutes, modified by playback speed, skipwatched filled etc, very useful for staying up to date with your own subs. Nominal fee for syncing between devices.

TLDR power user work out tracker, all PRs, metrics, fast keypad input or codemirror syntax input if you're lazy type that jots in notepad. Generate any exercise based on movement + modifer system. Mountan of metrics (your basic lifitng stuff), rolling averages etc. Fractional set tracking, bodypart volume... too much to list. Build and import programs using syntax.

Lazy overview while I work on docs.

Looking for users to stress test at some point, but feel free to play around.

I'm building a couple of things:

1. Creating a MacOS native personal finance tracking + networth dashboard, inspired by Gnucash but no complex business stuff (e.g., Tax invoices)

2. Creating a vision / journey board that tracks your life milestones and displays them in a personal mandala / spiral :)

3. Trying to build an visual story telling tool that lets me convert my medium to long form essays into visual animated companions for youtube. e.g.,

I've been working on a general repository linter. The idea is to declaratively define a set of rules/conventions for your repo, (for things that language-specific linters don't cover), covering things from directory structure, required files, file staleness/freshness, file size, rules for binary files, rules around use of invisible Unicode, etc. - which can be checked deterministically. Many/most large repos have a s…

It would be great if I could integrate this into our existing (and rather extensive) eslint config as as a plugin of some sort rather than integrate yet another new tool to our dev environment. Any plans for that?

I'm building smol machines, a new sandboxing primitive that works locally/remotely to introduce "branchable compute".

It's an idea I had to basically makes it possible to checkpoint, branch, rollback the entire vm kind of like git but on the entire computer.

My quirky wishlist app https://thingstohave.app is finally done and heading to public launch this or next week. I already partially covered the last few months of app development in this topic. But actually, its development took way longer, as only this iteration started in 2024. So it is the end of a long milestone— this launch date initially was to be a year ago, but I procrastinated and missed important for such a…

I'm building Orate, a free public speaking app: • Users are given a prompt and have 2 minutes to answer. • Speeches are reviewed by AI and other users. Speaking eloquently "off the dome" is an incredibly useful skill, improving all your interactions with other people. And like a muscle, you can train it with dedicated practice until it becomes effortless. It has been very fulfilling to listen to other people's speech…

Plans for android?
