Self-hosted NAS music streaming site
This self-hosted website, served from a NAS, streams the owner's music file collection like a personal internet radio on the local network, including random playback for rediscovering the collection (with possible future use beyond the local network).
agent6
This coding agent includes built-in sandboxing that restricts the network and filesystem access of commands it runs, offers several features not found in other agents, and focuses on polished UX across its CLI, TUI, and web UI.
picosnitch
This per-executable network monitor for Linux tracks network activity by executable, featuring a rewritten UI and a core ported from BCC to BPF CO-RE. Its completeness and accuracy were benchmarked with AI-designed tests, and published results identify a gap to fix in the next release.
FourierX
A web app that streams never-ending DJ mixes generated by a tiny ML model (~2.4M parameters) with 20-60+ second transitions between tracks. It currently streams the builder's personal music collection, primarily drum and bass. It uses HTTP3 WebTransport on Chrome and falls back to WebSocket for other browsers.
AI UI Design Evaluation Website
A website for evaluating AI UI design that displays the results of different UI tasks across AI models, reasoning levels, skills, and harnesses. Not yet released.
Noraneko
An iOS app for photographing and identifying street cats to help get them adopted. Recognition runs entirely on device: Apple Vision detects the cat, DINOv2-Small decides whether it is already in the user's library, and SigLIP2 names the coat pattern. It has no accounts and no backend. On top of the core identification there is a gamified layer inspired by Pokémon Go and Monster Hunter Now: users earn XP for finding new cats (with distance-based scoring rewarding photos taken from afar), need five distinct photos before the app guesses a cat's age, unlock five card designs per cat across five cat levels, and trade cards with other users over Wi-Fi (Bluetooth fallback). Traded cards carry the photo fingerprint, so encountering that same cat in the wild identifies it, without a server or global registry. Cats can also be turned into shareable adoption posters. The app is written mostly with Claude and is open on TestFlight.
kadaster.club
A map website that displays all land parcel data of the Netherlands, rendering parcels as vectors, staying fast, and showing data even when zoomed out. It also exposes an MCP endpoint (/mcp) so AI agents can query the same parcel data and information from omgevingswet.overheid.nl to answer questions about what is allowed and what permits are needed for a specific location.
Scored workout tracker (aft.jodavaho.io)
This app is a workout tracker for logging only standard, scored workout sessions. Each logged workout produces a score to improve (or degrade) on, and progress is publicly viewable, giving the score-based and public accountability the builder needs to stay consistent at the gym. It is free and publicly available.
OttoCAM
This app is a Mac/Windows CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) tool that aims to make CAM for makers, DIYers, and hobbyists as easy as slicing for a 3D printer. Users can load a STEP file, press a button, and have the CAM "just happen," while still offering overrides and custom controls. It supports adaptive toolpaths and native STEP files rather than only STL files. It is free while in beta, and when it goes paid it will be a single affordable purchase (like Lightburn).
ModelRigs
A website for running open weights models on various hardware setups, including benchmarks, how-to-run guides, and a TCO economics analysis.
RiverFish
A programmatic SEO experiment that combines fish population surveys and river data across England.
FindClients
A B2B client prospecting database of UK companies across different cities and industries, with a market analysis of the different sizes and ages of companies.
Octoloops
An AI growth app that achieved signups but struggled to convert new users into active users, leading its builder to downgrade time on it; it is still used to dogfood on the builder's own projects.
SignalBump
A monday.com app that enriches users' projects in monday.com with data on new (capital) projects and expansions of their clients; very early days, with the marketplace submission process having been challenging for a solopreneur.
Effective Utopia
This project presents a model of an ideal future achieved within 6 years and shares the technology and guidance for how to get there safely.
CLI-first style-emulating video editor
A CLI-first, GUI-second video editor that can emulate the style of any filmmaker or film it is directed at, and also works as a basic desktop video/audio editing suite.
Peer-to-peer event-sourced categorical database
An in-process, peer-to-peer, event-sourced categorical database written in Rust. It embeds non-Turing-complete event source handlers in the database schema, uses a categorical type system that makes migrations provably secure, and performs all schema changes through migrations. It deliberately trades high scalability for features not typically found in databases, such as aggregates with CRDT counter merges and commands with compensation steps (e.g., inventory Stock/Reserve/Release and order workflows).
Leone
Leone is a local LLM runtime that includes a CPU path used to verify its CUDA kernels.
escape93
A life simulator built around an in-game operating system that includes a working web browser, an MS Paint clone, and other apps. Gameplay is set after Earth has been evacuated, in a gravity-less cubic spaceship where the player delivers pizza and stocks vending machines.
Athanor Tools
A web-based platform for running common biological synthesis and protein-modification software from a web UI, with published Rust and Python libraries and a CLI application; the tooling is also integrated into the Molchanica molecule viewer/editor.
Molchanica
A molecule viewing and editing software application into which the author's biological synthesis tooling (web tools, Rust/Python libraries, CLI) has been integrated.
Supplementdex
A website about supplements, framed around the question of whether supplements actually work.
Bossanova
This app is a session manager for Claude Code and Codex that adds automation and orchestration features. It provides a lightweight terminal UI for controlling coding agent chat sessions from a remote browser, surfaces questions from multiple agents at once, and runs cron jobs for automation. It supports sharing remote coding sessions between team members, auto-repairing PRs, auto-rotating subscription accounts, messaging between chat sessions and across model providers, GitHub callbacks so agents respond to CI events in realtime, and running agents on a Mac mini controlled from a phone. The goal is to organize chat sessions and give agents primitives to communicate with each other across sessions, providers, and networks.
Vestiges
A 2D narrative strategy rogue-like game built in Godot. Recent work added opt-in gameplay data collection that captures session data for analyzing UI, UX, gameplay, and balance, with no identifying information collected by default, plus a global text size accessibility option. An MCP server setup with Claude was used to experiment with automated layout testing via periodic screenshots. A demo version is planned for release later in the year.
LibVLCSharp
A .NET library providing bindings for libVLC, enabling VLC media playback to be embedded in .NET applications. Maintained as part of the VideoLAN ecosystem.
VLC for Unity
A Unity plugin that brings VLC-based video playback into Unity projects.
VLCLR
A toolkit currently being built that lets developers write native VLC plugins in C#.
Local AI real-time video analysis
An experiment exploring locally run AI models for analyzing video in real time.
Kyber for Unity
A Unity package bringing low-latency video and robotics tooling into the Unity engine.
