This is a habit-building app that I've been personally using for months now. Although it's still buggy and slow as heck (prototyped with electronjs), it has been very helpful and effective for me so far. Aside from slowly reading and finishing a book[1], I alternate in doing these on my free time:

  - learn zig (currently with ziglings)
  - learn 3D gamedev with godot 
  - learn blender
  - read Crafting Interpreters
  - read Computer Graphics from Scratch
  - meditate consistently every early evening
Although the pacing is gradual and slower compared to traditional means, it's more relaxed and it doesn't intrude in my daily main activities. I also learn better due to natural spacing effect, which also gives me time to reflect on what I did.

Currently thinking of rewriting it in the future, especially the scheduler, but it's good enough for now, I'm instead searching for a remote work to support development.

https://ant.care/ https://github.com/MeoMix/symbiants I'm making a digital ant farm. SimAnt + Tamagotchi that runs in real-time. Written in Rust/WASM/Bevy The goal is to give people cute ants that do cute ant things 24/7, ask people to look after their ants and feed them once-per-day, and then deny the ability to provide ant care unless users engage in a breathwork/meditation exercise.

If you want to be scientifically accurate; most of the time queen doesn't do work. It's workers/foragers that collect food and do most of the work. I have done research with for few years, if you want any suggestions on these aspects.

NewsPlanetAI.com https://github.com/Norsninja/NewsHub News is insane right now, and I wanted a way to get news from around the world, translated, categorized and summarized. Every hour the system updates the site with the news, and gives a "Super Summary" of the hour. Every morning I run it through eleven labs TTS with a voice cross between David Attenborough and Morgan Freeman to give the news as an AI broadcaster named Cortex. The site has been running for about 4 months, and I have about 6 visitors a week. It's totally free, I thought more people would use it, but I use it everyday.

The queen stops moving once she starts giving birth and lets the workers do the nest expansion/feed her :) She also digs a smaller initial chamber than the workers. It would be nice to give her some slow movement though. Just roughly approximating for now. I also don't have her creating nanitics as her first workers but maybe we'll get there with varying sizes of ants in the future

Feel free to make suggestions! I'm all ears!

How do you get the news articles? A web scraper or some API?

I am not developing any open-source apps worth sharing currently, but I do work on some cybersecurity projects that may be interesting for both hackers and AI engineers:

- Payloads for Attacking Large Language Models - https://github.com/mik0w/pallms - a list of payloads for fuzzing your LLM apps for common vulnerabilities that occur there. Pull requests welcome!

- OWASP Top10 for Machine Learning - https://github.com/OWASP/www-project-machine-learning-securi... - OWASP Top10 for LLMs got viral. Hopefully OWASP Top10 for ML is going there as well! I contribute to that project with a few ML security enthusiasts

- The Real Threats of AI newsletter - https://hackstery.com/newsletter/ - probably the only newsletter cataloging the news from AI Security and LLM security world.

Feel invited to follow any of those :)
