BaseQL: https://www.baseql.com/

A single GraphQL access point to all your cloud Data.

The idea is to use existing relational data stored in the cloud to rapidly create a GraphQL API that is production ready.

We support Airtable for now, and we're developing GSheets.

Technical docs & examples: https://docs.baseql.com/usage/querying

I built an app around the HTML invoice template I had been using for years. https://www.cannonvoice.com/

I used this project as a training ground for a ton of different ideas and technologies. From server rendered react to typescript and design systems to how the hell kubernetes works. I went from dokku, to lando, to trying to figure out Consul and Hashicorp stuff to managed K8s on digital ocean. I decided to try to only write SQL and create my own typesafe patterns with TypeScript. It didn’t work out all that great but it wasn’t all that bad either.

This is half baked because I had so many more plans for a product no one asked for. Definitely one of the best learning experiences I had. I started with a monorepo of modules and realized that was a stupid idea for an app. I developed some strong opinions along the way. Oh I reimplemented email auth for the nth time but this time I used postgres’s built-in crypto functions. Man I like this implementation

DupVer https://github.com/akbarnes/dupver is a deduplicating version control system for large binary files. It's designed to keep state in a repository on the local machine separate from the working directory so it plays nice with cloud synchronization software.

I started it after constant headaches involving Git LFS and the corporate proxy. It's based around the Restic chunker library, with inspiration from both the Duplicacy backup software and Boar, another binary version control system for large binary files.

App for chores and roommates.

I'm only showing a few pics because I took the backend down. Simple premise is that you can weight chores with points. When someone completes a chore (clean the dishes, mop the floor), they get rewarded those points.

The point is to provide transparency into who's doing what around the house.

Two very half baked projects:

1) https://github.com/ayourtch/tbpatch

read the unified diff and apply to files that may have whitespace changes compared to original. The aim is to experiment with structured source control. The first immediate use is to be able to more easily cherry-pick code changes between branches in a big project.

2) https://github.com/ayourtch/flex-sftp-server

an experiment in making an SFTP server that is not tied to openssh, to implement more flexibility like more granular access control, different storage backend etc.

I just created http://unaffixed.com for finding and posting Gumroad-like jobs [1]. It's just a markdown file converted to html and served from a Fastmail folder. My process was: Read this thread [2] yesterday afternoon. Thought this sounded like a "looser" work environment. Searched "synonym loose". 3rd result was "unaffixed". Bought unaffixed.com and pointed it at Fastmail. MD to html with pandoc. Added water.css st…

Great idea, bookmarked for the future.
