trying to build some opportunity for the VR/XR community with https://vr.dev

right now, it’s a better way to showcase your really specific industry skills and portfolio of 3D assets (i.e., “LinkedIn for VR/XR) with hiring layered on

starting to add onto the current perf analysis tools and think more about how to get to a “lovable for VR/XR”

A little library to define functions in English (through LLM of course; for TypeScript initially) and use these functions like ordinary (async) functions (calling & be called). Agents as functions and multi-step concurrent orchestration of agents with event loops, if fanciness is in order.

And an agentic news digest service which scrapes a few sources (like HackerNews) for technical news and create a daily digest, which you can instruct and skew with words.

Giving people free blood tests when they donate blood! https://hellogoodlabs.com/ - available in San Francisco :) https://app.hellogoodlabs.com/book-tests/donation

Your website is great. Everything readily available and very clear!

One of the best I’ve seen in this thread!

Good luck with your mission!

Automated website feedback with browser use + LLMs

I am building a tool that gives automated qualitative feedback on websites. This is the early and embarrassing MVP: https://vibetest-seven.vercel.app/product

You provide your URL and an LLM browses your site and writes up feedback. Currently working on increasing the quality of the feedback. Trying to start with a narrower set of tests that give what I think is good feedback, then increase from there.

If a tool like this analyzed your website, what would you actually want it to tell you? What feedback would be most useful?

Currently running some finetuning experiments on non-verbal sounds to teach TTS how to laugh. I have had some success to add the necessary tags and tokens to multiple systems, but assembling the necessary dataset with sufficient quality is hard.

I'm working on Code+=AI: https://codeplusequalsai.com/

It's an AI-webapp builder with a twist: I proxy all OpenAI API calls your webapp makes and charge 2x the token rate; so when you publish your webapp onto a subdomain, the users who use your webapp will be charged 2x on their token usage. Then you, the webapp creator, gets 80% of what's left over after I pay OpenAI (and I get 20%).

It's also a fun project because I'm making code changes a different way than most people are: I'm having the LLM write AST modification code; My site immediately runs the code spit out by the LLM in order to make the changes you requested in a ticket. I blogged about how this works here: https://codeplusequalsai.com/static/blog/prompting_llms_to_m...

I'm working on Veila, a privacy‑first AI chat service. I wanted something that prevents model providers from profiling users and linking information from chats to their identity.

I'm a robotics engineer by training, this is my first public launch of a web app.

Try it: https://app.veila.ai (free tier, no email required)

  - What it is:
    - Anonymous AI chat via a privacy proxy (provider sees our server, not your IP or account info)
    - End‑to‑end encrypted history, keys derived from password and never leave your device
    - Pay‑as‑you‑go; switch models mid‑chat (OpenAI now; Claude, Gemini and others planned)
    - Practical UX: sort chats into folders, Markdown, copyable code blocks, mobile‑friendly
  - Notes/limits:
    - Not self‑hosted: prompts go to third‑party APIs
    - If you include identifying info, upstream sees it
    - Prompts take a bit long sometimes, because reasoning is set to "medium" for now. Plan to make this adjustable in the future.
  - Looking for feedback:
    - What do you need to trust this? Open source? Independent audit?
    - Gaps in the threat model I'm missing
    - Which UI features and AI models you'd want next
    - Any UX rough edges (esp. mobile)
  - Learn more:
    - Compare Veila to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc. (best viewed on desktop): https://veila.ai/docs/compare.html

Happy to answer any questions.

I'm working on adding favicons support to listings on my website directory I recently launched: https://intrasti.com

I just released the changelog 5 minutes ago https://intrasti.com/changelog which I went with a directory based approach using the international date format YYYY-MM-DD so in the source code it's ./changelog/docs/YYYY/MM/DD.md - seems to do the trick and ready for pagination which I haven't implemented yet.
