We're working on Drawers ( https://drawers.computer ), a macOS app to give each of your projects its own dock, space, and windows. We integrate with macOS spaces to switch out a project-specific dock on each space, containing only the resources you need for that project. We made it possible to add granular resources instead of full apps to the dock (think specific slack channels instead of the whole slack app), to ke…

seems.. interesting. will definitely be interested in testing this.

Working on https://github.com/Facets-cloud/flow

It does a few things for me:

- Claude session management mapping it to real life tasks

- A scoop/sweep mechanism to auto-populate the Knowledgebase

It has turned my claude to more of a PA. I have been made aware of beads since, yet to try it out. I see some similarity and some differences.

Figuring out the meaning of it all.

I thought sharpening my craft in software for a decade would help; but, the more I read ancient scriptures, the more sense they started making -- and this is as someone who's been mostly agnostic.

Seeing people working on nostalgic apps, wealth-pursuing prompt management tools, or ideological open-source alternatives. I've worked myself in many types of software of similar kinds, and I've found.. not much at the other side of the pursuit.

Some call it “הֶבֶל”; “तृष्णा”; or, “تَكَاثَرَ”...

Still working on it.

A small game called Colorhunt to play with my friends https://colorhunt.lol

You get assigned a random colour and have 24 hours to go out and take photos matching it. The game then generates a photo grid from everything you captured.

Modes:

- Solo → 9 photos by yourself - 1v1 → compete against a friend, combined grid at the end - Squad → everyone contributes to a 20-photo grid

No accounts, no app install, no personal data stored. Photos and generated grids auto-delete after 24 hours from Cloudflare R2 storage.

Made it for fun to find a way to do a shared a activity with my girlfriend and also to challenge my friends over the weekends.

Currently redesigning the frontend flow but I am kinda poor at design

Would genuinely appreciate feedback, ideas or anything

I’m stabilizing piclaw (https://rcarmo.github.io/projects/piclaw) - it is now my main IDE for all my personal projects, and I run several instances with different plugins. This is _not_ an OpenClaw clone, it is pi in a web trenchcoat, with (I hope) most of the philosophy in place.

I am also working on various other things (a Go Clojure interpreter with IR/WASM, my own inference library, etc.). All are linked from the page above to a degree.

Creating an AI native solution to manage workflows of my live streaming business (https://www.cheerarena.com)

Most workflow softwares are complex to extend & customize. Building an AI native, structured workflow orchestrator from scratch for agentic era.

As a starting point, have designed and implemented an AI native data store to store semantic linked structured input & output data of workflow steps/tasks. These structured input/output act as spec and guard rails for the workflow tasks.

I finally cleared a roadblock that was preventing me from writing more posts and sharing some of the photos that I take -- I patched Hajime -- https://sr.ht/~hxii/hajime/ with the functionality I was missing from it.

So now I can get back to the project that I was actually working on (but mostly deferring) for some time now -- boku -- https://sr.ht/~hxii/boku/ which allows someone to write a sequential series of tasks to perform without using code
