Working on Pho [1] my own TUI for pull requests across multiple repositories. It aims to be direct replacement of Github web UI for 80% of the use cases. The number of PRs I have to review on a daily basis is still increasing, and I didn't really like using the web version. This is made exactly how i like it, keyboard driven and fast.

#802(Pronouced FreeStyle) is multiplayer AI-music-generation party game. Players join a shared screen from their phones, submit their verses from a set of helper prompts and then hear those ideas turned into short generated rap battle performances. There is also non-shared-screen mode intended to be played globally with friends and strangers, but we are having a hard time figuring out how to incentivize players to destroy one-another on diss-tracks with minimal knowledge of the opponent.

#804I'm working on Mergi. The demand for reviewing PRs sky-rocket in the past months, and I got really tired of Github slowness so I created my own "native" fast and painless UI where everything is pre-loaded.
Also added a bunch of cool features like a Review Queue to keep track of everything (there are weeks I had to review 12 PRs) and some cool AI features.

#805Noraneko - https://noraneko.cat Lots of strays where I live, so I wanted an app to photograph and identify street cats and help get them adopted. Written mostly with Claude. The recognition runs on device: Apple Vision detects the cat, DINOv2-Small decides whether it's one already in your library, SigLIP2 names the coat. No accounts and no backend. There's a trading mechanic on top where you can trade cards via Wi-Fi…

#806Coffee roasting class for home roasters. Open fire traditional Ehtiopian styles then shifting to covered pots and some introduction to dedicated machines.
Repairing the ice maker in the frig. This will be my third time in. Of all the uses of Ai, diagnosing appliances is easily the most amazing to me. I like the work and thought involved in figuring things out, and I like saving time and money getting it done.

#808I run a small experiment on this: 29 paper-trading accounts on real US stock prices, $100k each, since July 27. Four AI models (ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini) each write a trading rulebook and rewrite it every day from their own results. One account is a fixed rulebook that no AI ever touches, as a control. Result so far (paper, 34 trading days): the no-AI control is +13.0%, the S&P 500 is +3.4%, and 25 of the 28 AI…
Don’t let AI write for you. Everyone can tell.

#809I’m building Hammer Labs ( https://hammer.ai ) to study when healthcare AI agents are wrong and when they should refuse to answer (judgement). It started after spending 15 years building AI for insurers, hospitals, data companies, and startups. Almost every system ended with "a human reviews the output". That person was usually a nurse, medical director, or certified coder. These are some of the hardest people to hir…
I was trying to learn more about your project. The comment above was digestiable for me as a non-healthcare person, but the website is really difficult for me to understand. The web design (and text?) really come off as ChatGPT written, which lowers my interest in spending time to understand it.

#810https://shopspec.io/ ShopSpec is a deterministic parametric furniture generator (bookshelves, cabinets, shop carts, leg-and-rail frames, multi-carcass composites) that encodes real woodworking intelligence and outputs shop-ready artifacts. Most recently, introduced the concept of value engineering by sweeping across dimensions to batch evaluate candidates that ranks based on sheet purchases. Also have in beta an MCP…
