#622A docker-compose equivalent for running native processes: https://github.com/sciyoshi/decompose
Similar to another tool called process-compose but with a CLI that mimics the docker one more closely and doesn't start a TUI by default.
Useful if your team's on nix and doesn't need containers.

#625Not too much, speaking of public one which you can try:
- https://habitpocket.io/ - habit tracker which allow to track not only habits (done, not done) but also numbers and time of the day on one grid. Also I built an iOS app but it's in Apple Review right now so it should be ready in the week.
- https://taskpocket.io/ - todo list, my own interpretation of proper todo list. Right now it's completely free. I would like to add one-time payment especially when I add attachments
Both of the apps above was built using AI especially for the frontend. Both backend at some point of time I almost completely refactored/rewrote myself
Speaking of private apps:
- I made a small app which allows me to track business expenses and categorize them Built with AI and using AI.

#626I've built a stacked-PR tool for myself, it's just a simple wrapper around git commands. State stored locally in .git/config - https://github.com/alexghr/graphene
Lots of small dashboards/log investigations deployed to private Github Pages for $WORK. This has been a great way to share insights.
I'm currently working on a tool to control my tmux sessions from my phone. Specifically all the codex panes so I can remote control my running sessions from my phone while I'm away from my desk while also keeping them in sync with tmux for when I'm back at my computer. On this one I'm using Codex as a helper, it's not allowed to write any code so it's going along a lot slower :)

#628I made Circus Chief:
https://github.com/ferrislucas/Circus-Chief
Circus Chief is a tool for managing coding agent sessions from a browser. It's specifically optimized for small screens. It supports Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Google Gemini CLI agents.
Features
Agents can operate Circus Chief itself. Agents can spawn sessions, schedule sessions, interact with the Kanban board — anything you can do in the UI, an agent can also do.
Schedule work ahead of time.
Automatically reschedule when you hit usage limits.
Configurable, chainable prompt templates.
User-defined commands - agents can run them and see the results, and so can you in the UI. Handy for local CI or routine workflow steps.
Worktree-per-session isolation, or elect to work on a specific branch.
Shared canvas - this is a place for shared artifacts that don't belong in the code. Useful for iterating on planning documents.
Bring your own provider. Use subscription auth for Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google, or point sessions at third-party providers with Anthropic- or OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
If you want to try it:

#629A lot, but these I still use a lot
A grocery app tailor made for me and my wife, offline first, seamless instant sync, barcode scanning, GPS/location hints
A macOS native high performance infinite canvas scribbling app for use with my Wacom for thinking through ideas
Lots of stuff for one pretty much finished video game, and currently lots of stuff for my new video game

#630Built the tool to kind of builds the tools. Just publicly made available yesterday actually. https://github.com/fabritorio/fabritorio
I am still extensively dogfooding but I think I'm mostly there for my use case, probably adding some other channel support like Telegram or Discord so that it can reach out your current self host. But yeah not a prio since at least for me most of my use cases are just within my own PC (or LAN).
EDIT: Quick summary of what it is, basically you can spin up agents seamlessly and modify, supports copy paste, etc. I want it visual as well and kind of "always on", think Factorio rather than every other workflow, run on start tools.
