[1] - minimal handwritten note-taking app for the iPad with optional,
built-in AI querying (using handwritten/spoken interfaces instead of
typed text).
Intention is to make a free, local, and simple notetaking app for the
iPad since Notability/Goodnotes seem to have become overly bloated, and
then add optional AI features that are actually useful, and which stay
out of the users way unless really needed.
launched v1 on the App Store about a week or so ago, currently have
about 130 downloads and 2 users paying for the AI tier

I'm experimenting with a local-first autonomous agent system on

The interesting part for me hasn't been the UI or demos, but the
engineering problems:
how planning compares to step-by-step tool-calling, how state drifts
over long tasks,
and how fragile things get once you add retries and recovery logic.
Mostly learning by breaking things and trying to make the system more
predictable.

I'm working on a Log analyzer, something that doesn't choke on huge
files. I ended up building something that can open a 50GB log file in 8
seconds and not eat your RAM, while maintaining 60fps when scrolling.
All this with a native C++ engine (able to run on Windows, Linux and
MacOS) with a Flutter UI.
With additional features that DevOps teams and SRE can use like Live
SSH tailing, JSON analysis and formatting, context aware search with
regex, text, and search via JSON fields. All those things also
performing incredibly fast - analysing a 5GB file for JSON logs takes
about 2s on my laptop.
Still in beta currently, with about 70% of the functionality done! You

architecture based on the "Independent Variation Principle" (IVP) (one
paper for IEEE ICSA 2026 conf, Research track - I hope it will be
accepted, and a long-form paper already on Zenodo: [1] ).
- Today I have started vibe-coding a frontend framework called wickeTS
based on Apache Wicket's concepts, but for TypeScript. According to an
analysis I made of various frontend frameworks (Java, JavaScript,
dotnet, php...) using the IVP, Apache Wicket is the one that presents
the highest compliance level with the IVP (the best decoupling of
constructs that have different change driver assignments). I'll use it
for my website (a knowledge base) about the IVP, and if it works, also
for other things. I'd say that for SSR, I'm at least halfway there
after half a day. For CSR, I haven't tested yet. I also plan to support
Static Site Generation. And I plan to support accessibility standards.

Introductory? just a few articles on dev.to.
Link to one article, you'll find the others in my profile: [1] You

It's difficult to have introductory stuff right now, I've only
recently started publishing about it, and I've been busy with the
very formal ICSA paper.
Nevertheless, I plan to publish a web site which would serve as the
knowledge base about IVP in a near future (few weeks time).
There's actually so much to say about it, and I'm having new ideas
every day... Latest one: use IVP to compare open-source software
with proprietary software under the lens of their change drivers in
various contexts.

Iâve been working on a terminal-native AI coding tool called Aye

The idea is to remove the copy/paste/review loop entirely. Instead of
asking an AI for code and then manually approving and applying it, the
tool writes directly to files in your folder and automatically
snapshots everything so you can diff or instantly undo if it gets
something wrong.
It lives entirely in the terminal, so you can prompt the AI, run tests,
open vim, refactor, restore changes, all in one flow. The bet is that
with current models, the main bottleneck is the human, not LLM.
Itâs open source and still very early, but we already have a steady
cohort of users - as the flow is sticky after the "aha" moment. Repo is

It is interesting because where I ultimately landed there is just an

app logic state (consumers manage), and a conversation state. The
library just exposes events so you can keep the conversation state in
sync with your other states. I started out visualizing a direct like:

The idea is to treat LLMs as constrained components inside explicitly

Something small that has been on my mind for the past decade or so --
assistant chatbot.
Basically I long wanted to plug a chatbot into my messenger of choice
with all sorts of tools for quick use, of course after the emergence of
LLMs it was only a matter of time before I find time for it.
As an experiment I have decided to use Claude code + opencode to
develop it, and after some trial and error I am very thoroughly
impressed with the results, it grew to a nearly 10k LOC in a week and
it is still very much manageable, I haven't changed a single line of
code manually still.
I have developed it as a "core" that imports modules with a rigid and
thoroughly documented in a spec.MD file interface, and every single bit
of functionality essentially acts as a different sub-app that can
consume events that trigger it and handle all of the internal logic
within itself, that way everything is separated nicely and totally
manageable within LLM context.
It does everything from setting up and sending reminders and todo
lists, helping me track car mileage and fuel consumption, getting an
overview of the day ahead(sometimes if task is important even a
reminder few days prior to its date), to even opening my front gate.
And all of that is exposed to 'core' chat module through tool calls, so
I can request anything in plain English or voice.
Also has a web-ui where I can review tasks, reminders, settings or
search past conversations.
Been using it a lot, and since I'm using groq for inference, I still
haven't even needed to pay a thing, since it fits within the free
limits

Working on NetBox Designs: [1] Infrastructure architects think in terms
of building blocks in "high-level designs" and those building blocks
are often socialised/expressed in Visio/Spreadsheets. Thinking in
building blocks is now more necessary than ever because of the sheer
size of the infra being designed/deployed.
This approach is problematic after the design phase because there's a
lossy translation to where the low-level design lives, often referred
to as the Source of Truth, like NetBox.
NetBox Designs allows users to express composable, versioned, and
templatizable building blocks that can be rendered to low level
designs. No lossy translations, and you can always check in the future

How can I train an AI on me doing sensitive work.
I'm building out a new concept around training AI computer use agents
on real sensitive tasks without PII exposure. My first demo releasing
soon is a dataset of AI agent with human assisted tasks on things like
paying my personal credit card or doing bank transfers.
Main things:
1. I don't modify the website I operate on
2. I take full videos and record all AI agent logs and all human
actions
3. I don't modify any of those logs and will release them to the
public.
I am working towards a future where AI companies are paid to generate
the data they need for AI agent operations instead of paying massive
sums to generate synthetic data. Imagine a future where labeling
companies are completely sidestepped by simply training on production
tasks directly.

Here's the elevator pitch for the framework:
Its built around 3 key ideas I've dealt with inside the agent ecosystem
1. Agents become far more capable when they have access to a CLI and
can create or reuse scripts, instead of relying solely on MCP.
2. Multi-agent setups are often overvalued as âexpert personasâ but
theyâre incredibly effective for managing context, A2A is the future.
3. Agents are useful for more than just writing code. They should be
easy for non-engineers to create and capable of providing value in many
domains beyond software development.
If that sounds interesting take a look!

I'm working on EACL: [1] EACL (Enterprise Access ControL) is a situated
ReBAC authorization library based on SpiceDB, built in Clojure and
backed by Datomic. EACL queries offer sub-millisecond query times and
has replaced SpiceDB at work (CloudAfrica).
'Situated' here means that your permissions live _next_ to your data in
Datomic, which avoids a network hop and avoids syncing to an external
AuthZ system like SpiceDB, so all queries are fully consistent.
EACL is fast for typical workloads and is benchmarked against 800k
permissioned entities. Once you need more scale or consistency
semantics, you can sync your relationships from Datomic to SpiceDB
1-for-1 in near real-time because there is no impedance mismatch
between EACL & SpiceDB.
Read the rationale for EACL here: [2] IMO, if you need fine-grained
permissions, EACL is currently best-in-class for the Clojure ecosystem.
EACL is especially suited to Electric Clojure applications and can be
used to populate menus in real-time.
EACL would not have been possible to build solo in my spare time
without modern AI models to rapidly implement specifications and test
against human-written tests.

In LACE we:
â capture fragments from the web via a browser extension
â auto-cluster them into evolving âthreadsâ / projects with

â maintain a graph of connections across threads (âtopology of
attentionâ)
â let you turn a cluster of fragments into an essay draft when

Stack is a fairly standard web app + LLM pipeline. Used neo4j's

Currently working on Skyscraper, which is an iOS native Bluesky client:
[1] Primary goal with the project was to create a Bluesky client that I
wanted to to use. While the standard Bluesky app is fine, I wanted
something more reminiscent of Tweetie, Tweetbot, Twitteriffic, etc.
Something that feels at home on the iPhone. With the transition to
Liquid Glass, felt like a good time to practice and get to experience
the new UI with a new project.
Still in what I call "alpha", but pretty feature rich. Support push
notifications, lots of discovery/feed following features, search tools,
moderation setting management, post translation, and much more.
If you use Bluesky and are an iOS user, there's still space on my
TestFlight and would appreciate any feedback or comments!

[1] I learned that ships have a "max load" line (or Plimsoll Line) [2]
to prevent overloading them with cargos, but my todo list didn't. So I
built an app to surface my emotional load and put mental health above
raw productivity.
I am experimenting with the concept of giving each item in the iOS
Reminders app an impact multiplier between -1.0 and +1.0 to assign them
"weights". The net weight of the todo items should indicate my overall
mood or emotional burden. If it doesn't maybe I have yet thought about
what's making me feel good or bringing me down. The net weight is
visually represented by the "water line" that rises the more into the
negative the net weight becomes. I'm thinking of adding features to
nudge me into addressing the rising water line.
And since I want to lower my own stress and anxiety using this app,
there is no signup or subscription. No data collection other than the
bare minimum to make the "tip jar" working through the App Store IAP,
so no PII collection.
Do you think you'd find this approach to be helpful for managing your
own anxiety level?

Love the idea! I was thinking it would be great if it could include a
toggle that's kind of like the emotional version of selecting reverse
y-axis in games (i.e. you can either push the controller up to look
up, or push the controller up to look down) - you can either have the
app show you tasks as how you see them. You could either use a view
that has the more effortful/urgent ones in red, which may grow over
time the longer you take to do them OR the tasks that cause you more
anxiety to have a high blue capacity the moment you plug in the task
and it reduces over time the longer you take to get to it. I guess my
idea has a factor of procrastination that comes into play with the
anxiety.
tunaoftheland wrote 2 days ago:
Thank you so much for taking a look at Plimsoll Line and giving
such a good feedback! The anxiety caused by procrastination is
definitely real, my wife and I both feel the stress when we see our
devices spew the same reminders that have been postponed for many
days (or months!).
The main thing that I would like the app to do is to nudge me to
take small actions of visually surfacing the emotional impact of
the individual items (a todo item or just a thought in my head)
rather than them filling up my head. So I would like to be the one
driving the app than the app driving me like most todo apps do. I
want the app to help me break myself out of being paralyzed with
anxiety by taking small actions that are doable and maybe even
pleasant. Hopefully that makes sense when users try it. :)
So I'll have to think hard about how to solve the problems you
mentioned, they are excellent points. Having fewer configurations
and encouraging the user to take control of their emotions through
small actions as core principles means some limitations in
features...
Anyway, right now the app lets you write a "Quick Journal" into the
Notes field in the Reminders app. I have in mind the app
encouraging user to break down the items causing lots of stress
into sub-items so it becomes more manageable. Or suggesting
contacting a trusted friend that the user has selected in
configuration beforehand.
Suggestions welcome on how else I can nudge myself and other
anxious users! :)

I'm working on finishing my JS KV compatibility library polystore [0],
the goal is to make a widely compatible library to connect to many
stores so that you can have a wide range of stores easily accesible.
For example, you make an API client library, now you can add polystore
and accept multiple cache stores without writing all the compat layer
yourself. This is a problem I've had multiple times in the past.
Or you make a project with cache, having it in files for local dev
(highly debuggable) and then with Redis in prod is a simple ENV var
change:
let store;
if (process.env.REDIS_URL) {
store = kv(RedisClient(process.env.REDIS_URL).connect());
} else {
store = kv(`file://${process.cwd()}/cache/`);
}
I've made many other libraries and projects during the years and having
a single library handle all of this would be great.

the part that's "Real Time" relative to anything else people do with
Cortex processors? The preemptive part? Not trying to be critical,
just not getting the real time part. Does it not share CPU resources

interrupts and minimal thread switching?

Cool, thanks for the reply. Why does a dirtbike anti-theft

Actually, what kind of stuff other than the stock market actually

Only, other that really suggests itself is schedulers for
multiple groups running big iron tasks, rather than
micro-controllers.
Not familiar enough, just doesn't seem like there would be a lot
of groups fighting about priority on micro-controllers. Usually
seem very focused and single task specific anyways.

In my use case (dirtbike anti theft tracker), it is useful to
use an RTOS, not specifically for hard time constraints, as I
don't have those, but more to have all the other functionality:
task synchronisation mechanisms, driver abstraction, etc. That
allows to better design the application. For example, having
separate tasks for GPS updates, cellular communication, and
motion detection with proper prioritization makes the code much
cleaner than a giant main loop with interrupts. About other
industries, I would say highly critical medical systems,
avionics and automotive find it useful to use RTOSes because
they have use cases where time constraints are really hard.

- Currently in free Early Access with 18 competitive mini-games.
- Players use their mobile phones as controllers (you can use game pads

- Everything is completely web-based, no downloads or installs are
necessary to play
- All games support up to 8 players at a time and are action based,
with quick ~one minute rounds to keep a good pace. This means there are
no language based trivia or asynchronous games!
- In the future we plan to open up the platform for 3rd party
developers (and Gamejams!) as well. We take care of the network
connectivity, controllers etc.. 3rd party devs can focus on developing
cool multiplayer mini-games without spending an eternity with
networking code and building the infrastructure.

AirConsole on the other hand is fully focused on
in-car-entertainment at the moment as the whole company was

that they are not accepting any new 3rd party games on the platform
apart from few very high-profile games based on already established

I've been working (very slowly) on a cross-platform UI library written
in C. It uses as much as it can from the OS without outright using the
native widgets for everything. Rather the focus is on letting the user
of the library customize the look of the controls as they see fit.
It's unfortunate but native UI (as in, using the native controls with
their native look) has mostly died off in my opinion, at least for
complex cross-platform applications.
You can try to do it in a cross-platform manner but it never works
well. Want to implement a tab bar like VSCode's? Win32 tab bars do not
support close buttons (need to be custom rendered) and Cocoa tabs it
doesn't even make sense for them to have a close button. In Cocoa
you're supposed to use either the windowing system to do tabs (similar
to Safari tabs) or custom render everything (like iWork).
So I say screw it, make it look as you wish.
The design of the API is somewhat DOM inspired (everything is built up
of divs that can be styled). It's pure retained mode for now, I still
need to think how I'll make reactivity work.
On macOS it uses a custom NSView to implement "divs". Drawing is done
with CoreAnimation layers. Text editing is handled by a nested a
NSTextView control with a transparent background. Could also host a web
view in a similar manner. Context menus are native.
On Windows it uses a custom C++ class that stores
Windows.UI.Composition surfaces for drawing (could also use
DirectComposition + Direct2D). Text editing is handled by a windowless
RichEdit control (ITextHost/ITextServices). Context menus are native
Win32.
On Linux it uses a custom QWidget with a nested QTextEdit control for
text editing. I'm thinking of experimenting with Qt Quick for hardware
accelerated rendering like the other two.

Working on a flight tracking tool that records the landing and takeoff
actions of a local airfield to get insights in how they determine on
which runway a takeoff or landing is assigned. Problem is that all the
free aircraft api's don't register a landing or takeoff act and also
not on which runway.
The airport in question has just one runway and is situated in a dense
population area. Both sides of the runway are used (officially noted as
two runways) for takeoff and landing causing noise complaints in the
neighborhood. The airfield says it assigns a runway based on wind
direction and speed, and when there is much traffic they relieve one of
the two directions to prevent going over a threshold. My goals is to
check if they follow their own rules and just to have a insight if my
annoyance over why there are so many aircraft over my house and not on
the other side is justified or not.
As a frontender this is quite challenging. I'm using Express with
typescript to write the backend. Usually I get bored quite quickly
because progress is not going fast enough, so I'm using a lot of AI to
speed things up.
I'm checking for aircraft in a 5km circle every 30 seconds. If a
aircraft is below and above x feet than I'm going to track it every 5
seconds. Between each entry I'm checking the coordinates and altitude
to determine which runway (direction) is used and if it's taking off or
landing. I'm also using another API to get weather data like wind speed
and wind direction. Finally this is saved in a JSON file (for now) and
loaded into the frontend to be displayed in a table.
I do have a working prototype, and removing a few bugs. At the moment
it's checking the logs after a day of collecting to check for errors,
fixing those errors and validating the fix the next day. When it's done
I'm planning to open source it so that anyone can use it if needed.

Plug-That-In [ [1] ] (Mac App; Paid)
An annoying little laptop charging reminder utility that does the job.
---
There are times when I'm deeply immersed in focused work, a meeting, or
engaging video content and end up missing the usual low-battery
notifications on my MacBook.
When the laptop suddenly shuts down, it's followed by the familiar and
frustrating walk to find a charger or power outlet. It can be annoying
and occasionally embarrassing, especially when rejoining a session a
few minutes later with, "Sorry, my battery died."
Over the past few weekends, I built Plug-That-In, an app that
introduces "floating/moving notifications". These alerts follow the
cursor, providing a stronger, harder-to-miss nudge regardless of
whatâs happening on screen.
The app also includes a few critical features:
- Reminder Mode: When the battery reaches critical levels, the app
emits a configurable alert similar to a car's seatbelt warning,
continuing until the battery is addressed.
- Do Not Disturb Settings: Customize alerts and sounds based on
context, such as when system audio is playing, a video is active, or
the camera is in use.
It grew out of a personal need, and I'm glad to see it used by over 50
people in the past month.

I'm working on headless browser fingerprinting.
We're focusing on "anti-cloaking" for anti-phishing and other Internet
security applications at the moment. Phishing sites can "cloak"
themselves so that they present malicious content to ordinary users and
benign content to bots, and thereby evade detection. Anti-cloaking is
doing things to defeat cloaking.
The methodology is to operate a site that logs all requests, and
collects information from the JavaScript environment, and looks for
signals that a session is being operated by a bot instead of a human.
We have 183 unique signals so far.
We've seen fake mobile phone APIs being injected into the DOM, and have
been able to read out the source code implementing them. We've seen
lots of people running the browser with TLS validation and same-origin
policy disabled, which are both easy to probe for. And we've even seen
people running services on localhost with CORS headers that allow
cross-origin requests, allowing us to read out their server headers and
page contents and which would allow us to send arbitrary requests to
their local servers. We've seen people using proxies that don't support
websockets. We've even seen surprisingly-big companies scanning us from
netblocks that just straightforwardly name the company, which would be
trivial to block just by IP address.
It turns out that every security vendor that scans VirusTotal
submissions or domains from CT logs has major flaws in their headless
browser setup which mean it's worryingly easy to cloak from them.
I don't know the best angle for monetisation. Currently we are selling
"quick overviews" of what people are doing wrong, but it kind of feels
like we're giving away too much value too cheaply. However it's
difficult to convince people that there is value worth paying for
without telling them what they're doing wrong upfront before they pay.
Ideas include:
* automated quick overviews, where we give you a URL to point your bot
at, find out all the signals you hit, and give you an
automatically-generated report of what you are doing wrong
* or a manual "pentest" of your headless browser, where we do the same
thing but spend a few days manually looking harder to see if there are
new signals we're not yet spotting automatically
* or we could sell a report of the state of the industry as a whole
* or access to our tooling
* or something else
I have been told that if I say it's for anti-phishing then I have 12
customers max but if I say it's for AI browser agents then someone will
give me a billion dollars. So possibly we need to explore other
applications, like either telling AI scrapers why they are getting
blocked, or else helping sites block AI scrapers (though I am
personally opposed to building the apartheid web).
Open problems are:
* what's the best form to sell it?
* how do we satisfy people that if they pay for a test then they will
get value from it?
* should we pivot away from anti-phishing?
* for bots that we notice have found us from VirusTotal or CT logs, how
do we work out who is operating them so that we can sell to them?

Your engineers waste up to 40% of their time monitoring, investigating

freshness of metrics on your dashboard. You wish AI can answer your
data questions but it cannot show you proof, or where it came from. AI
helps software engineers to move fast and break things, because they
can always rollback, with git. But you cannot do that for data. Bad
data entering the system, spreads across the company before spotting,
and takes weeks to clean up.
DV changes this, giving you lineage-aware, versioned data. It records
data-lineage when data is captured, transformed, and committed, at
commit/snapshot level. So when things break, DV knows what other data
is impacted downstream, and it can rollback the whole chain to the
previous state, instantly - no data copy/restore needed. It can also
backfill the data across the chain automatically.
With DV, both your team and your AI agents can finally see:
- where data came from
- how it was transformed
- how to revert safely with a single click
Your engineers can move fast on data, without breaking trust. Your
analysts can build pipelines by simply describing business questions to
AI.
DV is Git for data, so you can focus on your business, putting

danw1979 wrote 2 days ago:
Yeah very specifically above or below. You donât need to share
exact location data (although youâd still need access to it on

Donât over engineer it - just an indicator about how much
further down the slope or back up the slope the rest of the pack
is.
I find it annoyingly frequent that Iâm either waiting for mates
who have bombed off ahead because I didnt see them pass, or Iâm
waiting at the bottom for mates who are up the slope waiting for
me because they think Iâm behind ! Literally hours wasted each
trip doing this.
You might think a quick phone call is the solution to this but
thatâs too clunky. Itâd be nice to take out my phone and
just quickly see something on the home screen indicating this, or
on the watch app.

Maybe having different kinds of (infrequent) beeping in

I also think that for taxeable purposes this would work better than

second would. This decreased my confidence in their capabilities, so I

aggregate their findings into a single agent to asses and address.
I was using Codex at the time, so Tenex is kind of a play on "10 Codex

Volatility Regime Prediction via Causal Discovery in Option Markets -
[1] Volatility regime models (Markov-switching GARCH, regime-switching
stochastic volatility) are ubiquitous in finance. However, they share a
fundamental limitation: regimes are identified ex post from return
dynamics, providing no predictive power for regime transitions. The
standard approach fits a Hidden Markov Model to returns, labels high
and low volatility states, and estimates state transition probabilities
that are essentially unconditional averages. This matters because the
economic value of volatility timing depends entirely on predicting
regime changes before they occur. A model that identifies regimes only
after observing the returns is useless for trading volatility.
Existing research documents regime-dependent behavior but does not
identify causal drivers of regime transitions. The papers on volatility
forecasting factors, variance risk premium dynamics, and market
instability from option flows dance around this question without
directly addressing it. The recent work on causal ML in finance (double
machine learning, causal forests) has focused primarily on equity
return prediction rather than volatility states. The connection between
options market variables and subsequent volatility regime transitions
has not been rigorously established through causal methods.
We develop a causal framework for volatility regime prediction using
option-implied variables as potential causes of regime transitions. The
key insight is that options markets are forward-looking, so information
embedded in the implied volatility surface, put-call ratios, option
order flow, and term structure slopes may causally influence future
realized volatility regimes rather than merely correlate with them.
Currently building a robust dataset.

TTRPG Narrative Engine â [1] I'm building a session prep tool for

Most existing tools are great for storing lore, but they don't help you
run the story. I wanted something that supports the "create now, refine
later" workflow â get ideas into structure fast, then refine as you
play.
Core features:
- interconnected world-building (NPCs, factions, locations) and
story-building (situations, fronts, clocks)
- Bidirectional linking â connecting a story hook to an NPC makes
that hook visible from the NPC's view
- Clock system with milestone consequences that can spawn or edit
entities
- Situations fire different consequences based on outcome (players
engaged vs. ignored the hook)
- Material waste detection â flags under-connected content so you
know what's prepped but unused.
The main workflow is mindmap-based. Each entity gets its own context
layer showing direct relationships. (Soon available in demo version)
Working on next: automatic player-facing content. As players complete
situations, public notes from involved entities get published â so
the GM doesn't have to maintain a separate campaign log.
Stack: TypeScript, Effect-TS, SolidJS, Cytoscape (graphs), Leaflet
(maps)
The hosted version is rough â I've been using it to get early

I was fairly neutral about the tool for a while, but lately I've been

It's also built to "rerender" the story, for instance rewriting it

I'm also hoping to create some stories that stretch the medium. Perhaps
CYOA (though I'm struggling with understanding what a CYOA is good at),
though also other multi-perspective stories with reader autonomy in how
to read through the story. LLMs make it easier to overproduce content,
so you can give the reader flexibility without feeling regret that much
of the content will be skipped, or rewrite passages for readers who
jump into stories part way through.
Producing quality content is hard, and frankly kind of expensive, which
is why I'm focused on finished products instead of interactive

take these rich characters that are grounded in full stories and find
other things to do with them.

mgz wrote 2 days ago:
Hey, more technical details follow.
Weblock uses a whitelist, not a blacklist, and it is domain based.
Once you allow a domain, it can be browsed by a child. You can
allow it forever/15 minutes/1 hour.
How it works: WKWebView, before loading a page, asks the backend if
the domain is allowed. If not, it shows "Not allowed" screen and a
"Request access" button - child can tap it and you (parent) will
get a notification.
So traffic is not going through the backend or a filtering VPN, the
app just asks the backend if a page (domain) is allowed to visit.
Visits are logged, so you, as a parent, can see what your child has
been browsing. How much time did he spend on a homework website.
Some WKWebView callbacks used for that:
* onShouldStartLoadWithRequest - to intercept a request and check
if it's allowed
* onLoadProgress - to show loading progress bar
* onNavigationStateChange - to track browsing history
Also I had to implement a workaround for buggy Screen Time in iOS
26 - even if you add Weblock to "always allowed" apps, iOS will
still treat each website as a separate "app" and block it, asking
to you "allow' each website on system level. It happens inside
WebKit codebase, but luckily this bug has another bug in it - if
you re-open a website, it suddenly works and all other websites in
this session work tooSo I need to listen to
`onScreenTimeBlockingStateChange` event and automatically reload a
website if that happens.
Also I added an ad blocker to Weblock. It uses uBlock Origin
filters, converts them to WKWebView content rule JSON format and
feeds to WKWebView. The app checks the backend if rules are updated
and updates a local copy.
What's next: need to get "Default Browser" entitlement from Apple.
Then you can block Safari on kid's phone using Screen Time and have
Weblock open all HTTP(S) URLs.
App is written in React Native, no performance issues. Backend is
Ruby on Rails.

Working on The Password App ( [1] ) - an AI-powered macOS desktop app
that automatically rotates your passwords across websites.
The problem: most people have 100+ accounts with weak/reused passwords.
Changing them manually is tedious, so nobody does it.
The solution: import a CSV from your existing password manager
(1Password, LastPass, Bitwarden), select which accounts to update, and
the app uses browser automation with Gemini 2.5 Flash to navigate to
each site's password change page and update them in parallel. Exports a
CSV with the new passwords to import back.
Key technical choices:
- browser-use library for AI-driven browser automation (handles
dynamic sites better than Selenium)
- Local-only architecture: passwords never leave your machine, no
cloud sync, everything stays in memory and is cleared after use
- Electron + Python: React frontend with a Python agent for browser
automation via stdio IPC
- OpenRouter for LLM access (Gemini for navigation, Grok for
validation)
Security was the most important and the hardest constraint. Passwords
can't be logged, can't be sent to the LLM context, and can't persist on
disk. Custom fork of browser-use to inject credentials via secure
parameters invisible to the AI agent.
Currently at v0.38 with code signing and notarization for macOS.
Working on improving success rates - the main challenges are 2FA
requirements and anti-bot detection (Cloudflare, reCAPTCHA).
Would love feedback from anyone in the security/password management

VMs." When the agent spawns sub-agents mid-execution, they inherit full
access by default.
IAM doesn't help much. Authority stays tied to the agent's identity
even as intent shifts during execution.
I'm exploring a capability-based model instead: authority is explicit,
task-scoped, and attenuating. Closest to Macaroons/Biscuit, but adapted

The platform handles all what's necessary (and annoying to setup) out
of the box: multiplayer, controls, mobile/responsive/ inventories,
save/load, leaderboards, quests, dialogue, etc... Users just select
what they want and configure it with clicks.
Technically, the engine just reads a config file and renders it for
players. I've built all the foundation blocks that interpret the
config.
I'll soon be onboarding game designers to stress-test the

As of today I have most of the base functionality up and working again.
I just got all the Quartz scheduling stuff set back up and now I'm

Up next: test|fix some functionality around defining "semantic

I'll at least be back where I was.
After that, I have some UI improvements to make (the UI now is basic

Not everybody has test money to play with. I'm in that group

>> What prediction algorithm is it using?
As money is an issue, all I have at the moment is Google's AI
Studio which is definitely not opensource, in my view. Though
it is more forgiving than other vibe tools out there with their
usage quotas. The market predictor has no capabilities to
connect to any proprietary APIs as that requires money. That
being said, it should be possible to modify the code so that it
uses proprietary APIs should anyone want to do it. For now, I'm
just adding stuff to it via VibeCoding that I think could be
helpful. The main goal is to turn it into a research App that
finds potential assets that will double to triple in the near
feature or stocks that are prime for shorting, etc. I am also
thinking of adding investment simulation capabilities but not
quite sure how to go about at the moment. Turning some of its
capabilities as a learning platform could be a good way to
monetize the app. Not really a serious app at this moment,
though, as I lack lots of tools to accomplish this.
Based on the code provided in services/geminiService.ts, here
is the breakdown of the algorithms and sources used by the
market prediction AI application:
Prediction Algorithm:
The application does not use traditional quantitative
statistical models (like ARIMA, LSTM, or Linear Regression)
running on raw numerical data. Instead, it uses a Generative AI
/ Large Language Model (LLM) approach:
Model:
The app utilizes Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash (gemini-2.5-flash).
Methodology:
Context Gathering: The AI first performs a real-time Google
Search (tools: [{ googleSearch: {} }]) to gather the latest
text-based data, news, sentiment, and technical analysis
summaries available on the web.
Semantic Analysis:
The AI acts as a "Senior Financial Analyst" to interpret this
unstructured data. It synthesizes a sentiment score (0-100) and
predicts future price targets based on the qualitative data
found (news catalysts, earnings, etc.).
Chart Generation:
--The historical and forecast charts are generated
mathematically within the code using Deterministic Linear
Interpolation.
--It connects the current price to the AI's predicted future
price targets (1 week, 1 month, etc.).
--It adds algorithmic "noise" (randomness seeded by the asset
name and date) to simulate market volatility visually, ensuring
the chart looks realistic but stable for the specific day.
Data Sources:
--The application relies entirely on Google Search Grounding.
It does not connect to specific hardcoded financial APIs (like
Bloomberg or Yahoo Finance API directly). Instead, it instructs
the AI to search the public web for specific types of
information.
Based on the prompts defined in the code, here are the sources
and data points the app targets:
Real-Time Aggregators & Search Engine Results:
--Live Google Search results for real-time price estimates.
--Global financial news outlets (indexed by Google).
--Market sentiment analysis from web summaries.
Regulatory & Official Documents:
--SEC EDGAR Database: Specifically targeted in prompts for
Stocks, Quantum, and Cannabis strategies to find filings.
Company Press Releases:
--Used to identify fresh catalysts like contracts or product
launches.
Technical Data:
--Support and Resistance levels (retrieved from technical
analysis articles found via search).
--Relative Volume (RVOL) and Intraday Volatility data (for Day
Trading strategy).
--Chart patterns (Bull Flags, Pennants, Opening Range
Breakouts).
Sector-Specific Sources:
--Crypto Launchpads:
Seedify, DAO Maker, Polkastarter (specifically for the "AI
Presale" strategy).
Venture Capital Reports:
--Data on VC investments and insider buying.
Industry News:
Specific searches for Quantum Computing breakthroughs, Cannabis
legalization news, and AI technology updates.
Market Dynamics:
--Short interest data and borrow fees (for the "Short"
strategy).
--Analyst upgrades/downgrades and price targets.
Macro-economic trend reports.
As I mentioned earlier, it actually found lots of legit assets
with breakout potential but also finds crypto asset for that I
suspect are scams but have a presence on the web.
Hope that provides a bit of context to your query.

The Philips bulbs are more general purpose bulbs that would replace

Bedtime Bulb v2 starts at 2100K, much warmer, and dims down to
1700K. BBv2 has infrared. The flicker is very low: under 1% at 120
Hz; the best I have seen in any dimmable bulb. It is also designed
to dim perfectly with all TRIAC and ELV dimmers (basically, any
standard dimmer), which no other LED bulb can claim to do.
Side note: the term "flicker-free" is a total lie, so we stopped
using it. I have seen lighting with up to 50% claiming to be
flicker-free. Pretty much all lighting has some flicker. The term
is just not true.

These bulbs are not smart and do not have a full RGB array. But

Atmos is a smart lamp, and we will get our Matter certification in
early 2026. This one is also not RGB, but it has extremely high
color quality in the whites and no blue spike. Flicker is lower and
at a way higher frequency (32 kHz). We haven't updated the specs on

We're working on a Nest-style ML feature for the Atmos lamp that
learns your intensity preferences and automatically applies them.
And we have a whole bunch smart circadian products we're working
onâsomething for the desk and workspace next.
For Bedtime Bulb v2, not out-of-the-box because it's all analog
electronics, but we REALLY want people to dim it gradually
throughout the evening. If you want to automate dimming, the
Leviton Smart Dimmer we offer on the site will allow you to control
it with any of the popular smart home platforms.
Why isn't Bedtime Bulb smart? Bedtime Bulb v1 was our MVP, and we
focused on getting the quality of light right over adding any smart
features. It turns out, many of our customers have told us they
don't want anything smart. So when we made v2, we focused on
doubling down on quality of light features: infrared, warm dimming,
"Perfect Dimming" (smooth dimming with any TRIAC or ELV dimmer),
really high CRI/R9/TM-30, etc.
Smart bulbs are definitely a future possibility, but right now, we
have the analog line (Bedtime Bulb v2) and smart line of
fully-integrated lamps (Atmos).

Itâs a combination of factors: you must reduce both blue light

reducing blue light might help a little, but it still suppresses
melatonin. Melatonin levels and circadian phase shifts scale with
total irradiance even if blue-depleted; basically, dimming the
lights is really effective.
Thatâs why our products focus on both intensity and color change
(but we lead with blue light reduction since itâs easier to
grasp).
Also, if you look at our specs, youâll see that we donât use
pure amber or red light; we use very low-blue white light with high
color rendering. We have yet to do the study on this, but you can
read surprisingly well with our lighting at a very low intensity
(enough to make your mom angry that you are hurting your eyes),
whereas with lower CRI sources, you would have to make them
brighter to achieve the same visual acuity.
There is some emerging research that IR may play a role in
melatonin production locally in cells, which is why we added it to
the bulb. Early days for this scientifically, but Scott Zimmerman
and associated researchers suggest wideband IR may be effective,
even if itâs only 20-30% of the visible intensity.

(3) A dating ideas / meal ideas and agreement app. It helps increase

We do deep transcript + metadata extraction, then layer RAG search and

the password and protects weak passwords against offline attacks if the
DB leaks.
* Passkey PRF auth: If your passkey provider supports PRF (like iCloud
Keychain or Windows Hello), the app derives the data encryption key
directly from the passkey, allowing a login flow that doesn't require

you upload your files to a server, and the recipient can download
it whenever - either real-time while you're still uploading them
(imitating the P2P/croc model), or at a later date. This is a more
universal approach IMHO.
Also, aero.zip is a webapp, i.e. there's nothing to install, and
you don't even need to sign up to send small files. Meanwhile, croc
is a CLI utility which will be hard to use by mom-and-pop users.

When you say "what teenagers should do after learning Scratch," what
do you mean exactly? Should do to what end? How would Easel present
as "the clear thing" they should do? I suppose Scratch wasn't really
chosen by these young people; it is obviously simple, and has the
prestige of MIT. Schools followed suit.
You're in a different situation, where you have to meet this market

Thank you and I am pleased whenever someone engages and gives me
their honest thoughts, it is always helpful.
Maybe I'll rewind a bit, and I'm sorry if this is a long post!
I've just had a teenager who finished making a Chess game in Easel
after about a month's work, his most advanced programming project
so far. This teenager started in Scratch, has done some Python, but
the language they have spent the most time in has been Easel. I've
also had a couple of teenagers who have said things like "I suck at
coding" and yet make spend months making these quite sophisticated
Easel projects full of coding. These two teenagers also did a bit
of Scratch but also were lost and disengaged when it came to
Python. This mirrors what I've seen in Code Clubs as well, where
teenagers just lost interest when shown Python.
Eventually, if someone is going to learn to code for real, they
must make the transition from a visual programming language to a
text-based programming language, and I know that I have seen
teenagers get lost attempting to cross that gap. There are
teenagers who obviously have had no trouble with this and that's
great, they should go straight to Python or JavaScript or whatever
is their heart's desire!
The difference between Scratch and most other programming languages
is more than just visual vs text-based. Scratch is actually this
cool concurrent, asynchronous, event-driven programming language.
This makes it easy to write things like "wait 0.3 seconds" then
"move 2 steps to the right". Most other game engines, including
PyGame and Godot, instead use a frame-by-frame model. This means
you often have to code things as state machines, where you pick up
and put down state so that an entity can remember what it was doing
next frame. That example of "wait 0.3 seconds" then "move 2 steps
to the right" would require the control flow to jump up and down
the codebase between state and logic, which means the shape of the
code no longer mirrors the step-by-step of what it is actually
doing. I think Scratch is successful not just because of its visual
coding, but because its programming model allows for step-by-step
logic to look like step-by-step code. There's no reason a
text-based programming language couldn't also have this property.
Easel is concurrent, asynchronous, event-driven, like Scratch,
which is why both Easel and Scratch code can be written in this
sequential step-by-step way that you can't easily achieve in other
programming languages.
Why can't you just write `await sleep(0.3s)` in other programming
languages? Their issue is you can't cancel an `await`, which means
it is easy for an asynchronous task to outlive its entity and so
they are not safe beginner-level constructs. Scratch solves this
implicitly because all scripts are part of a sprite, and when your
sprite is removed, all its concurrent scripts stop. It's so
intuitive that it doesn't really need to be taught. Easel has a
similar thing but in text-based form - it is a hierarchical
programming language and everything inside of an entity's block`{
}` gets auto-cleaned up when it dies, including all asynchronous
tasks belonging to that entity. I think that's why in Easel, I've
seen teenagers spinning up hundreds of asynchronous threads all the
time without any problems.
All of this is to say that Easel is like halfway between Scratch
and Python. It keeps a lot of the intuitive parts of Scratch's cool

already a few times) is that it can help more teenagers cross the
gap from visual coding to "grown up" text-based programming
languages.
The reason the code sample is at the top is actually because I saw
a teenager talk aloud as they were reading that code and
understanding it in real-time. It was super cool because that's it,
that's what I've been trying to do - make a text-based programming
language that is legible to beginners and not convoluted. And I'm
trying to figure out whether it is possible to replicate that
moment over and over again with new teenagers.
There is a lot more to it. Easel adds a lot of other stuff like a
physics engine and automatic multiplayer. But this post is getting
long so I will stop there. I really appreciate the thoughts. I am
definitely going to be thinking about how that homepage is
presenting itself and I think it is fair what you say that it
doesn't look simple, and doesn't look different to any other game

Maybe I can help with one or two conceptual things. In classic E&M a
field describes the potential (or force, if you prefer) a test charge
would experience at that point. Note that the general case is
impossible to visualize, as you're associating 6 numbers (3 for E 3
for B) with every point in space, so we normally think of simple
setups and slice them up. Accelerated charges make waves in the field
which are WAY more complex than people think. The way you model
matter is dependent on the frequency of light. For visible light you
normally think of it (especially metal) as a crystalline lattice of
some characteristic length, electrons that can jump discrete energy
levels, with molecules forming some sort of dipole that has more
degrees-of-freedom (wobbling, twisting). I don't know about VHF, but
the wavelengths are huge, like kms, and therefore way too low energy
to cause electron shell jumps, so you'll probably model matter
according to some very general characteristic like permittivity and
conductivity. For seawater (which is a good conductor) subs use ELF,
which is 100s of kms in air and can only communicate at bits/s. It's
a fascinating topic, and very niche. Good luck!

Also, all the connections to the database are proxied through the app,

One is to create some kind of pseudo-language that

something similar to erlang in mind (to some extent).
Now, this is nothing new - modeling is quite old,
bioinformatics is old, but I have a few ideas that
are somewhat novel IMO (e. g. really following erlang
here, just adapted to biological systems).
Then I have a few smaller ideas. One is to finish a
webframework where everything is really an object at
all times. Meaning, I can work with objects when
describing a webpage, from A to Z. HTML tags are
objects too. I don't typically use them directly,
though, but more in a meta-layout, e. g. I want to
describe a webpage, but on a higher level, and
also push that down into a .pdf file then seamlessly.
My goal here is to be able to work with objects
everywhere, not just for a single webpage but for
all local and remote webpages, a bit similar to
Alan Kay's old ideas.
I have a couple more ideas (one is the widgets project
where I want to describe a GUI only once and then
have it work in as many variants and languages as
possible), but realistically I also focus on the smaller
things to do as they are much easier to solve. Right now
it is more important to me to finish as much as possible
before the end of the year, so prioritising on smaller
things makes more sense.

2. We don't have limits on transfers, but bandwidth. Hetzner, for

Certain industries in Canada are regulated and need to be hosted
locally. However, we are not trying to appeal to that. Instead, we
want to focus on physically-local hosting because we believe that
the world needs more small-scale ISPs, not centralization into big
hyper-scalers. The collateral benefits are incidental: like being
able to sue in Canada, and being subject to Canadian digital
privacy laws (e.g. the DPA).

*Supex* - Agentic coding for SketchUp.
Working on a house renovation project in SketchUp, I wanted the same
workflow I use with Claude Code: describe what I need in natural
language, let AI write and execute the code, iterate quickly.
So I built a bridge. Python MCP driver talks to a Ruby extension inside
SketchUp via JSON-RPC. Claude Code can now write Ruby scripts, execute
them directly in SketchUp, take screenshots to verify results, and
introspect the model - all without leaving the conversation.
Still very early (macOS only, requires SketchUp 2026), but it's already
useful for repetitive tasks and parametric designs. "Create a spiral
staircase with 15 steps at 18cm rise" is more fun than drawing it
manually. [1] /tree/example-simple-table

A Civil 3D plugin (Genabler) that will include all the network catalogs
and collate the Civil 3D styles for civil engineers to use. There are
some out-of-the-box catalogs and styles shipped with the default
installation, but they are quite limited and fairly well hiddenâwhich
is not surprising, given that Civil 3D is a huge beast. As a result,
they are not commonly used.
When people think about Civil 3D, they often assume it requires BIM
modelers (in a sense, just glorified drafters) to create all the
necessary catalogs and styles, and to assist with their use.
My Civil 3D plugin will:
1. Make standard, market-compliant catalogs and polished styles
available to engineers at large. Think of it as the WordPress theme
provider equivalent.
2. Make the entire process easy and painless through the plugin, with
prominent buttons for quick access.
If the plugin is done well, there will be less need for BIM modelers,
since for a fee, engineers could simply purchase catalogs and styles
that are so easy to use they require no technical training.
As a side benefit, I also get to explore how LLMs can help me write
code. It has been a while since I last updated my AI usage policy [0],
and I look forward to revisiting it.

Wanted to save up a few tokens when passing data to LLMs and did not
like anything on the market, so I made minemizer.
Minemizer is a data formatter that produces csv-like output, but
supports nested and sparse data, is human readable and super simple.
It produces even less tokens than csv for flat data, due to most
tokenizers better tokenizing full words that contain a space before the
word, and leads to less fragmentation.
There are many cool things I discovered while running tons of testing
and benchmarking, but it's getting late here.
Code, benchmarks, tokenization examples and everything else can be
found in the repo, but it is still very WIP: [1] Or here: [2] EDIT:
Ignore latency timings and token counts in "LLM Accuracy Summary" in
benchmarks as different size datasets were used to generate accuacy
numbers while I was running tons of experiments. For accurate
compression numbers see compression benchmarks results. Or each
benchmark one by one.
I will eventually fix all the benchmark numbers to be representative.

I'm not sure it'll be a serious project, but the main goal is to
use it in CI or dev, where setting up postgres is kind of a pain.
I got it to work already by setting up the global context in
single-user mode (like postgres --single) and exposing bindings for
SPI operations.
Yesterday night I got extensions working, but as this project
builds as a static archive, the extensions also have to be part of
the build. Both plpgsql and pgvector worked fine.
The bigger challenge is dealing with global state -- comparing the
pre-start and post-shutdown state of the process memory, about 200
globals change state. Been slowly making progress to get restarts

I shared this last month, and it seemed to resonate with people, so
I'll share again and maybe new eyeballs will see it this time. I'm
continuing to build a body of work on my retro productivity software
blog, Stone Tools. [1] Previous articles which resonated with HN were
on Deluxe Paint and VisiCalc. The latest post, "HyperCard on the
Macintosh," seems to be making the HN rounds currently. Bret Victor
himself chimed in on the HyperCard article over on Mastodon, filling in
some nice historical footnotes. [2] Unlike many (most?) other
retrocomputing explorations, I specifically do not look at games nor do
I tie myself to any particular machine, though I'm focused on the 1977
- 1995 period. I spend a minimum of two weeks with each productivity
title, trying to learn it, building things with it, and generally
trying to understand its approach to solving problems. I'd characterize
my writing tone as casual, conversational, and decidedly light-hearted.
Each piece of software (so far, knock on wood) gets me thinking about
some other aspect of related computing history, so I explore that as a
tangent. With the Superbase article, I talked about "the paperless
office." With the VisiCalc article I considered its impact on less
obvious industries, notably hog farming.
I hope the passion and effort I put into the articles comes through. If
you're interested in computing history beyond just the games I think
you'll find something of interest on my blog. "This Week in Retro" did
a segment about me and my various projects as well, if you're curious
to get an overview of what I'm all about (link is queued up at the
start of the segment)

Working on a visual language learning app called Snapalabra!
The idea is simple: You look at an image and describe what you see in
your target language. That's basically it!
My reason for building it was that even though I can understand a lot
of spoken spanish, I really struggle to construct sentences on the fly
when speaking. Doing a few minutes of active learning like this each
day really helps remap my brain a little, and I quickly run into
situations where I hit a wall and realize I actually don't understand
something as well as i had thought.
The app also gives a little feedback on what i have written from an
llm, and it also provides clues that I have mapped to each image.
At the moment I am using it mainly for intermediate Spanish and
beginner Irish, and personally I find it really helpful for both.
Basically learning vocan for Irish, and more serious sentence structure
etc. in Spanish.
I know a lot of people absolutely hate the idea of mixing LLMs with
language learning, and I can kind of see why, but I personally find it
really helpful in certain cases. If you are already doing classes, and
consuming content in your target language I think something like this
will be really helpful for a 5 minute coffee-break type activity in the
morning. Its not a language course and I have not intention for it to
be one. Its just a supplementary little tool that helps with getting
your brain thinking in a new language and it is free to use.

The app reads the public data stream from exchanges, handles the nitty,

its quirks, cleans up and normalizes the data into a uniform structure
(currently only supporting spot trades) then exposes it downstream as
an SSE stream.

I've figured out a better way to remove cycles that preserves the shape

to figure out how to minimise edge crossings and line up nodes in such
a way that it's more immediately obvious how the data flows between
different systems.

I'm looking at how to introduce unique, borrowed and GC'd reference

I'm inspired by the language Lobster's compiler that specialises
functions to arguments of either reference type as a way of doing
something analogous to using "escape analysis" to allow objects to be
owned by the stack.
I think that perhaps specialised functions could be re-merged, with
compile-time checks replaced with very cheap runtime checks taking
advantage of "upper byte ignore" bits in pointers.
The VM will also need to support not just managed source languages, but
also languages where unique and borrowed references are statically
checked and possibly stored in objects.

I resurrected some of my old code for computing hash collisions: [1]
(it's actually more of a rewrite)
It can collide 96-bit truncated sha256 in under 24 hours on a 6700XT.
Next steps are a) figure out something interesting/useful to do with it
(beyond surprising people), and b) modify it to support accepting
contributions from untrusted clients (see "Future Ideas" in README).
For a sufficiently interesting answer to a) I could create a
"SETI@home"-like system.
A ~102-bit collision would cost $$ worth of rented GPU capacity, and
128-bit is optimistically possible with enough crowd-sourced compute (a
~5-figure dollar cost if you were renting).
