working on a convention to organize your own video files on your own buckets https://github.com/xta/keepsake my goal is to offload phone videos (to free up device space) and persist them in self controlled storage. the convention makes this significantly more useful than a collection of object paths
1. Play a YouTube video on a TV-connected Mac
2. Mirror a Mac or iPhone screen on a TV-connected Mac
The senders need macOS 26 or iOS 27. The TV-connected Mac can be running macOS 13 and up, so it's a nice use for an older laptop.
The apps are in app review now.
I built https://kadaster.club , which shows all land parcel data of the Netherlands. There's some existing sites for this but they quickly try to upsell you stuff and/or are slow and don't show the parcel data when zoomed out too much. None of the other ones I've seen render the parcel data as vectors either, which hurts my eyes. I also just added https://kadaster.club/mcp so an agent can query the same data and even…
I'm working on vision3d ( https://github.com/yeetypete/vision3d ) a 3D extension to torchvision. vision3d aims to elegantly extend the well-established torchvision API to 3D object detection tasks. My colleagues and I were not happy with the state of 3D object detection frameworks. Things like mmdetection3d, OpenPCDet, etc. try to do way too much than what's needed for a good 3D ML library. They even came up with the…
I'm working on a real-life social app called Holler ( https://justhollerapp.com ). I'm an introvert and socially anxious, but I do enjoy hanging out with my friends. I just HATE the invitation-and-coordination game. If someone invites me and I don't want to go, I hate having to come up with a socially acceptable excuse. Inviting someone and waiting for them to make a socially acceptable excuse is equally awful to me.…
Now a days I just have a few group chats where I can drop this kind of announcement in and see if there are any takers.

What's interesting (and kind of sad) here is that while AI drastically increased product count, more than 50% are now composed of dev tools and AI Some kind of golden shovels situation. I wish there were more games, personal apps, and open hardware – more fun stuff that became affordable due to AI
Working out some details before dropping it opensource.
It's still pretty early, possibly buggy, and almost certain to get breaking changes without warning.
My original thought was to combine Lisp syntax and structural macros with C semantics and see how much extra abstraction that would provide, but variants of that idea have been tried before. They may have been compelling at a certain point in time, but I think a new systems programming language in 2026 should offer more, so it does.
Some features include: strong typing, protocols (similar to Clojure or Rust traits), non-nullable references, error values, bound error handlers (a bit like Common Lisp), optional lexical lifetimes, namespaces, and no mandatory runtime overhead relative to C.
It's self-hosted, which I've noticed several new systems programming languages announced recently are not.
I had claude faithfully rewrite SimTower so I could play it in the browser: https://kvetch.io/conciliatower I wanted to re-play SimTower but found it too difficult to get running through emulation. Instead, I worked for 6 months with Claude Code on a complete rewrite, replicating all the functionality from a Ghidra decompilation of the binary, an AI-generated summary of the original source code and my memory of the g…
