I am currently working on thethoughtcatcher.com It started as a side project to explore the latest AI trends. Now it’s something we use daily — and others are starting to as well. Thoughtcatcher is a lightweight, AI-powered notes + reminders app that acts like a memory companion. It helps you: - Capture raw thoughts and auto-tag them using AI - Set smart reminders triggered by context and meaning - This was a game ch…

> not just by keywords, but by intent A relatively "simple" approach (augmented associative memory) gives very good results, check for example the good old "Remembrance Agent", and it may complement a LLM(?)

I didn’t know about the Remembrance Agent, just looked it up, and it sounds super relevant! I’ll definitely dig deeper into it. Thanks a lot for pointing it out and for your comment!

I am working on a simple tool to help founders:

StackAdvisor (A tech-stack advisor for MVPs and beyond)

- Understand the idea, team, budget, skillset, preferences (cloud services, language, frameworks), time to market, etc

- Generate smart questions and iterate based on answers

- Suggest rationale optimal architecture to begin with and implementation detail

- Include In Scope / Out Scope tasks, Week-1 to Week-12 plan

- Suggest low-code/no-code/AI-assisted tools for implementation

OpenCLI - https://github.com/bcdxn/opencli A document specification for defining command line interfaces. It's really just a fun side project to get more familiar with Go. The goal is to be able to generate boilerplate code in a few languages/frameworks and to generate documentation in a couple formats.

I like this, would you like some help?

For fun over the weekend I started an ambitious project of creating a "pocket size" space trading game, inspired by a classic BBS door game called Trade Wars that I really loved as a kid. I'm keeping a development log to keep myself motivated and wrote the first post about it here https://jarv.org/posts/stardewar-v01/ .

There was a Trade Wars inspired game 25 yrs ago called "Black Nova Traders" that was a whole lot of fun. The original author is embarking on a v2 after a quarter century since the first release. You might find it interesting to see if yours and his vision align and work together[1]. All good if not, I'll keep an eye on your project as I love Trade Wars inspired games.

I got tired of using SplitWise, personal finance app, and Tab to manage budgets/expenses. So I vibecoded a small web app ( https://web.savida.ai ) to do it all in one place (and pay much less for it too with no limits). Since I made it, it fills all my needs. But would be nice to get feature requests from other people if they want to use it too. First time trying vibe coding as a staff SWE at F, so it’s been a lot of…

What process did you use? I still find it hard to believe an LLM could write 100k lines of code without completely failing - it fails on much more basic stuff in my experience.
