For a while now I've been working on an open source haptics engine for
Gran Turismo 7 that also does some pit radio feedback as well. It
currently outputs a bass shaker audio signal for chassis bump, engine
vibration (loosely based on engine geometry) and gear change events. I
also have wind simulation in the works as well.
I didn't want to run a Windows host for any of the existing solutions
so have targeted the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 however the app does compile
to Linux, MacOS and Windows so it can run on anything. For the wind
simulation I'm playing with an ESP32 based PWM controller which
connects over Bluetooth using a custom GATT profile.
I've mentioned it here and there online but have yet to see anyone
actually use it other than myself.

In the current climate, I've decided to explore building games, so I'm
building a management game about turning chaotic fields of research
into fundable products, fitting for Hacker News I think ;)
The concept was, what if Theme Hospital was about Victorian-esq
research institution instead of a hospital? You hire strange
scientists, have them explore dangerous fields of research, collect
messy findings, turn them into theories, prototypes and eventually
products, all the while trying to convince investors they're worth
funding before they hit the market and work out what they might
actually be worth
The gameloop is broken down into two parts, Exploration / Discovery and
Exhibition, the closest comparison I have for the first part is take
Kerbal Space Program, but focus it on Mission Control rather than the
astronauts
While the mad scientists are going into weird, unstable research
domains, the player is managing the institution around them, funding,
equipment, research direction, safety
On the other side as you discover interesting things or successfully
develop prototypes worth showing off, have investors show up and see
what excites them, will they give you more funding? Push a grant your
way? How are you going to keep this circus going?
You're balancing two plates, you need to invent tools to delve deeper
and if you don't keep finding exciting new discoveries, your investors
will slowly get bored of you

During my 45 min commute to work I listen to podcasts. Over the last
year, like most here, I have been focusing on AI and agentic
engineering. The podcasts that I enjoyed the most profiled research
papers.
In April I started playing round with generating a semi-automated
pipeline with python and Claude to generate a private podcast that does
a deep dive into AI research papers. I think it is really cool. It
fetches papers, scores them based on novelty, importance, relevancy,
etc., and then writes the podcast script. It then generates the show
by using Eleven Labs voices and then puts it in an RSS feed that Apple
Podcasts is ok with.
My personal expense for generating this stuff is a sunk cost, so in May
I opened it to everyone via [1] It was really fun working with Claude
4.7, 4.8 and even Fable 5, to make the site and refine the pipeline.
Now I put out about 4-5 episodes a day. I listen to each one first,
then promote the "staged" episodes to my "prod" feed.
This weekend I just add weekly and monthly reviews. Claude will write
the review and another instance will generate a script the converts the
review into something (hopefully) easier to listen to.
Here is last week: [1] review/weekly-2026-06-14.html
And here is the review for May: [1] review/monthly-2026-05.html
Now, during my commute, I listen to the individual episodes and the
reviews - I typically run them at 1.5x to 2x speed. I have become a
much better user of the AI tools by keeping up with recent research.

Software distribution is getting harder. New products launch every day,
and paid advertising has become increasingly competitive. Many
companies spend money on ads and get poor results, not because the
platforms donât work, but because running effective campaigns
requires a lot of experimentation, creative work, and ongoing
optimization.
Over the years, I built a collection of scripts to speed up ad
creation, testing, and campaign management. As generative AI improved,
it became possible to automate much more of that workflow, and those
scripts gradually evolved into a product.
The result is Zendux AI ( [1] ).
The idea is simple: instead of manually creating dozens of ads, users
can generate different angles, messages, layouts, and formats from a
single brief. They can then launch those ads on platforms like Meta Ads
and automate parts of the testing process using rules and scheduled
workflows, similar to cron jobs.

I've been keeping myself pretty busy lately.
Con Edison keeps getting so stupidly expensive that I decided to use my
backyard for reasons other than generating weeds that I have to pay
someone to remove, and instead decided to set up an off grid solar in
my backyard. I bought an Aferiy P310, learned how to use a few tools to
drill some holes in my bricks, and set up a bunch of Home Assistant
automations, and now my basement and living room is powered by nuclear
fusion with an eight minute delivery time.
Of course, now that I'm babysitting a Home Assistant instance, I felt
like I should use it; Google is completely and totally incompetent with
any of the "smart" devices, to a point where I swore an oath in blood
that I will not buy anything Google Home or Nest related ever again.
I've been replacing my awful Nest lock and awful Google thermostat with
Matter-compatible stuff to work with Home Assistant.
I have been having Claude port an old game to WASM. I'm sadly not quite
yet at liberty to discuss the intimate details on it (since it is not
my game), though hopefully that will change soon.
Unlike a few other things I've automatically gotten ported to WASM [1]
[2], this one has proven to be a lot more difficult and required a bit
more active labor on my end. It was written using a strange combination
of C++ and Java, with some JNI glue written in a way that neither I nor
Claude are very familiar with.
It's been pretty fun figuring out how to get CheerpJ and Emscripten

a little smarter than AI at it. [1]

I've thought about how to fix this too. I'm "locked in" to OpenAI
because of what it knows about me. Literally it's told me things like
"blah blah but you shouldn't do that because you take X medication
which has Y in it" and I'm like "...really? can you reference that?"
and it gives me some old thread where I chatted about it and

In other words it's legit helpful as my "second brain", but I also

It's a durable orchestration loop for implementing code with LLMs that
forces review and verification gates until the code matches exactly
what you asked for.
It's complementary to any existing harness or tools you use, you
investigate and plan your work and simply have your agent hand off the
implementation to the engine.
You can have Opus 4.8 implementing, GPT 5.5 and DeepSeek reviewing in
different roles etc, mix and match however you like.
It also supports sandboxing out of the box, starting with the YC backed

I've been working on a framework for writing executable specs in .NET
called Accordant, developed at Microsoft and open sourced recently.
Github: [1] Docs: [2] Every API has a contract - the rules for how it
should behave. You can't withdraw more than the balance. You can't
delete a resource with active references. You can't re-create what
already exists. But usually these rules are never written down in one
place. Accordant lets you write the contract directly, as executable
code. Not documentation that drifts, but code - if the implementation
stops behaving according to the contract, you get immediate failures.
Not only can you use the executable spec to validate _arbitrary_
scenarios, you can also use the spec - a first class construct - to
mechanically explore the state space of a system and generate
interesting test sequences. The docs above have examples.
Also worth calling out that we've used the framework to model a number
of complex, distributed real-world systems: those involving async
processes, concurrency, retries and crash consistency. These are
non-trivial specs (and they pair quite well with techniques like
deterministic simulation testing). Great care has been taken to ensure
the specs remain readable and concise despite that richness of
behavior. For those of you old timers who might be familiar with
Spec#/SpecExplorer and NModel, this model-based testing library is a
descendant of that line of work.
With the rise in AI-assisted software development, I feel we need
richer ways of specifying and validating software and I feel quite
excited and bullish about the possibilities here. There's a lot more to
say on the topic - follow my twitter feed if interested in more updates
;)

This is interesting; I see the docs mention that polling support is
built in for asynchronous background tasks. What about event-driven
systems where a message will be published when a task completes (such
as from a message broker/pubsub system)?
inaseer wrote 1 hour 23 min ago:
There are really two separate concerns here.
The first is that some effect happens asynchronously, potentially
interleaved with other operations. Whether a client observes
completion by polling or by receiving an event from a message
broker is orthogonal to the specification itself - the model looks
essentially the same in both cases. The built-in test executor uses
polling, but that's an execution strategy, not a specification
construct.
If you have a trace containing both requests/responses and observed
events, you can use the model to check that the trace conforms to
the specification. In practice, it helps if the events can be
localized to some interval in the execution (e.g. "this happened
after A and before B"); otherwise the checker has to consider many
more possible concurrent interleavings.
The conformance testing docs hint at how this can be done, but
don't yet show an event-driven example. It's a good enough question
that I'll write a dedicated doc page on it.

Is this property based testing? Or if not how does it differ?
inaseer wrote 1 hour 31 min ago:
Property-based testing and model-based testing are closely related.
Both ask the developer to state the expected behavior of a system
(whether you call it a property, invariant, model, specification,
or contract) and then validate that behavior over arbitrary inputs
and arbitrary sequences of operations. Property-based testing
frameworks also typically provide fuzzing and shrinking.
Where we felt there was a gap was in expressing rich stateful
behavior: models involving non-determinism (e.g. a timeout where
the write may or may not have committed), concurrency, and eventual
asynchronous completion, and then checking that an observed
execution trace conforms to that model. Accordant aims to make
those kinds of specifications concise and readable.
Once you have such a model, it's possible to integrate it with the
fuzzing and shrinking capabilities of existing property-based
testing libraries. We'll have documentation on that integration
soon.

- A WASM environment ensuring deterministic execution and supporting

- Collateralization around responses, ensuring invalid responses have

- A consensus and UTXO layer, focused on low-latency, low-finality

The idea came out of me wondering a few years ago why a multiplayer

I have two projects that I'm hoping to release in the months ahead.
These are both pretty pointless but fun projects.
One is a TRS-80 Model I emulator in JavaScript called Trash80. About 10
months ago I started this project just for fun while experimenting with
what now seems to be called agentic loops. I got things working pretty
well with the Z80 passing the ZEXALL suite and a lot of real TRS-80
software running fine. It sat for months untouched before I decided it
is worth releasing and recently started it up again.
I didn't want to release it without a ROM, so I rigged up some agents
to build a clean-room style L2 ROM w/ a fairly complete BASIC and even
readline-style control commands, history, and a proper cursor. That
went very well, but the agents cheated on floating point and
implemented some weird Q5.2 like-thing. I told them to fix it, but I
guess I didn't give clear enough instructions because they replaced it
with a BCD hybrid monstrosity instead of proper floating point. The
proper floating point is now underway, but I'm mostly using excess
Codex credits before they expire, so it's only moving forward when I
have credits I don't need.
I also built a silly ASCII fractal browser in Z80 assembly so that I
can ship with a virtual disk that has software on it. The emulator
works in the browser and the terminal. Unicode sextant block graphics
map very well to TRS-80 Model I semigraphiccs/squots, so it really does
run everything very well in the terminal, even games. I also added a
line-mode for line-based applications, so you can use a readline-like
interface and feel like it's native terminal app as well, though that
has some issues I need to fix. And of course, you can shebang TRS-80
BASIC files and run them through the emulator too.
Another project was a demo of chromesthesia, a form of synesthesia
where sounds trigger experiences of color. I thought it was done and
ready to release, but then I had a new idea. The visualization while
cool, was kind of boring. I decided to replace it with an attempt at a
semi-physically accurate cymatics simulation with artificial coloring
based on chromesthesia. Cymatics is the practice of making sounds
visible by vibrating a surface, such as a plate with sand on it. As the
sound changes, symmetrically interesting patterns form and evolve. I've
got something working now with wave generation and microphone input,
but sometimes it gets a bit stuck and stops evolving as it should, so I
have to find time to figure that out.
Currently all unreleased, but when they do release it will be at
www.leshylabs.com. I sometimes post updates on X, but not too often. (

My starting hypothesis is power users and devs, people who want to
experiment with local and cloud LLMs, build their own custom
agents, and try experiences they wouldn't usually find in consumer
AI mobile apps. As the app is now closer to release, I think it has
reached a level where it is likely complete enough that there are
some viable combinations of its features that can actually solve
concrete user problems. I could see the app being used to create
agents that serve as small shortcuts tailored to the users' needs,
with all the flexibility it enables. A bit like a more iOS-native
OpenClaw with opinionated takes on tooling and security. I
personally used it to create a food tracker that has a good
understanding of my daily routine and also TL;DRs of various
sources (including HN) surfaced as suggestions on the home page.
I don't yet know the exact words those users would use to describe
their problem, so surfacing that is part of why I'm putting it in
front of testers first.

features a tutorial and bots, plays like a board game, and operates
with economy, bluffing, forward-planning, risk-taking,

Play as an amateur psychic navigating a fictional stock market. Receive
premonitions, call in your wizard friend, navigate dividends & earnings

An API documentation generator for Laravel apps: [1] In contrast to
most other libraries in this space, it knows about Laravel conventions
and its ecosystem, and tries to infer as much as possible without
explicit annotations, using type hints and doc comments and static
analysis.
Where automatic inference isn't possible, you can use targeted
attributes to annotate your route handlers.
The result is written as an OpenAPI specification, and (by default)
served using a Scalar playground.
We also include a linter command that checks whether all API routes are
documented properly, typed correctly, and following your style - this
also supports dirty files only, reporting coverage in standard formats,
and even automatically fixing some classes of errors!
I've also written tooling to regularly test the library against a set
of open source Laravel applications with a published OpenAPI spec. This
has proven very solid in detecting improvements and regressions, so
much so that I can delegate new features to an AI agent and rest
confident that it can verify on its own whether a change breaks
anything.

I fell down the rabbit hole of voice transcription about a year ago,

together and built [1] . The biggest challenge being it all running on
CPU with the target device being your low to mid spec office laptop
that's a few years old (I5, 8gb RAM). All nicely packaged together in a
single completely offline selfcontained app that you just install and
run (no environment setups, packages to download, models to download
etc).
One of the hardest parts I've found is the diarisation (who said what)
side of things. Trying to tune this and have it working in a way that
doesn't absolutely grind the laptop to a halt or take forever to
complete has been _hard_ but also extremely rewarding.
Another part has been the fine tuning side of the Phi-4 model, I'm on

I've got some great results. I wrote a bit about it in a comment here -

I'm working on a proposal for C++29 to extend `std::execution` by
introducing a type-erased sender (P4223 [1] ).
I discovered this week, while the paper was being reviewed by SG1, that
I've accidentally stumbled into tackling a rather important problem.
Senders as shipped in C++26 can really only express the async
equivalent of inline functions because, except for `task`, all the
standard senders fully encode the shape of their computation in their
type. With something like the `function` I'm proposing, you can use
senders to express async algorithms that are separately compiled, just
like sync functions.
If the feature lands in a shape similar to what I've proposed in
P4223R0, then I think an obvious extension is to modify the core
language to support a newer kind of "coroutine" that allows you to
define a sender with imperative code. My vision here is that we act on
the observation that `std::execution` is a language feature implemented
in the library by teaching the compiler how to turn imperative C++ with
`co_await`s sprinkled through it into the corresponding sender and
operation state. I think this would open the door to putting async
object lifetime analysis and optimization where it belongs (in the
compiler) without the overheads and inconveniences of C++20 coroutines.
It would even let us apply the inliner to async functions when the
compiler can see the body of an async callee, not just its declaration.
For now, my next step is to write P4223R1 to incorporate feedback from
this past week's WG21 meeting, and continue exploring the design space
around specifying sender attributes for a `function`âI'm thinking the
current approach of specifying query function signatures needs to be
replaced with a key-value object like receiver environments, but I'm
not sure yet what consequences that change would have on the design.

GitOps continuous delivery tool for Podman quadlets: it handles
installing/removing/updating files, installing secrets, restarting
services and dependencies, rolling back failed updates, and more. I've
been working on this for almost two years now and am pretty happy with
how its coming along and the growing user base. Plus it's been a fun
excuse to try out some new things, like creating a Varlink API or
different CI/CD setups.
Besides Materia itself I've been bouncing around some other ideas for
the Podman quadlet ecosystem. The biggest one is Athanor[1], which
re-uses the same plan-execute system and primitives provided by Materia
to backup Podman volumes.
I've also been kicking around a clustering system for Podman volumes
called Firmament that uses Serf and the built-in Podman import/export
API to move volumes to where they need to be in the cluster. But this
will probably wait until Materia hits 1.0 before I really start putting

I am making Cargo for C. I have 3/4 of a working demo; the tool can

The pitch: It's insane that we have to pull in Python or Lua to build C
code. CMake is an abomination against god that has become usable in
spite of itself. Zig cc is proof that this entire ecosystem is an
embarrassment. My tool gives C projects a TOML manifest, and builds
scripts written in C and JIT compiled by the tool. Now, you can write
build scripts in the language itself, pull in dependencies you wanted
to use anyway.
It also provides a stable ABI. There's an HTTP-backed index and a
Git-backed index. And it generally does the same thing for C that, say,
Bun did for JS/TS. You'll be able to run C files from source and have
the entire ecosystem available. You'll be able to trivially generate
single file static binaries, or dynamically link to an older glibc
without arcane tricks. It will fix C.

I've been working on a inference engine for a System F Omega inspired
language and getting to a point where it is starting to feel good in
small programs. I'm not sure why I started this, but I'm hoping to make
something like an experience reminiscent of Lisp/Smalltalk by working
in an interactive environment.
My goal with this language was to pick a set of primitives to compose
and express as much as possible.
I don't have a demo up yet but if anyone was curious [1] The two main
features I am missing right now are recursive types (I want to do
proper mutual recursion and have been procrastinating) and some form of
type classes or implicit modules. Structural typing has been useful and
I'm finding a lot of features are falling out for free from that.
Long term goal is to create something with performance within a
reasonable range of C# / Java etc generally, with tools for opting out
of GC. I don't plan on chasing zero cost memory safety, since I want to
spend my "budget" on tooling and expressiveness.
Until the language semantics stabilize I plan on generating some pretty
naive JS/TS to play around with real programs, and eventually target
.NET and native (likely via C++ transpilation)

I have been experimenting more with agentic iterative optimization:
using LLMs to actually speed up code by finding and testing lower-level
optimizations, specifically by having it build a real-world
representative benchmark, then tell the LLM to optimize that benchmark
without a) cheating the benchmark and b) ensuring code quality by some
metric does not regress, e.g. MSE for machine learning algorithms. This
is extremely effective with GPT 5.5, and recently I found another
prompt optimization ( [1] ) that surprisingly results in another 2x
speed improvement on average.
So far, I have mostly feature-complete implementations of the
following, which are faster than the state-of-the-art implementations,
up to 20x faster in some cases while matching or beating them in
quality:
- a new 2D data visualization library, along with more bespoke data viz
implementations such as word clouds and Primitive.
- programmatic image generation
- image compression
- a new statistical machine learning library, along with more bespoke
algorithms such as UMAP and HDBSCAN
- a novel modelless invisible image watermarking approach
- a novel machine learning approach which may be a crime against data
science but the performance is really good
- local text embedding generation with MLX
- image-to-ASCII art conversion
- grep/jq replacement (faster than ripgrep)
I aim to open-source them over the next months but the main bottleneck
is the inevitable barrage of "gtfo AI slop" comments even if I dot
every i and check every t, in addition to the distribution of new
software being extremely difficult nowadays due to the death of social
media and "20x faster" raising red flags even if I have the data to
justify it.

It snapshots and verifies the cache, and then only updates the snapshot

I built a dictation and meetings after trying other apps (Wispr Flow,

hostile, buggy or have limited feature set. For example, many of these
dictations app opt you into Context awareness, which means your entire
page contents get streamed to their server. The open source apps don't
have dictionary, shortcuts (say "linkedin link" â and it pastes your
actual link), or ability to use any proprietary API.
So I made my own dictation app. Supports arbitrary API providers (e.g.
Deepgram, Speechmatics, Elevenlabs), Offline models and a subscription
if you want it. Otherwise it's free forever for BYOK and offline
models. Deepgram is a YC startup from 2016, and have models that are
genuinely good - so it's up to you if you want to use them.
Also, Granola doesn't let you read your own meetings after 30 days. So
I added a feature in DuckType to import your data from Granola,
unlocking all your meetings from their paywall.
Another app: OpenCook [1] . We curated and wrote our own recipes into
StashCook, which requires a subscription just to read your own recipes
on the web app. So I got Codex to extract our recipes and rebuild one
that is open source, OpenAPI and includes AI features.

I'm working on a dashboard for ranking llms, then finding the best
local (by size) and/or hosted (by price) variants of the models.
Currently have ArtificialAnalysis leaderboard for ranking, ollama
registry for local models and openrouter for hosted models. [1] By
default, home page gives all models in the leaderboard, local and
hosted. Search for models in the search box on the home page to find
the top models by ranking, local(by size) and hosted (by price).
You can also do deep querying/sorting/searching filters of models in
each of these three nodes (see the other tabs on top).
The next steps I am working on (would love feedback on this or anything
else):
Phase 1:
- Change clicks on home page model tiles in one column to search and
show models filtered by that across Artificial Analysis, Ollama,
OpenRouter
- User specifies their system VRAM (unified/dedicated) and we
automatically filter the home page with models that would fit on that
RAM - in the three columns.
- User specifies their price range (per MTok, max across input and
output), and we similarly filter and rank by those models across all
columns.
- User specifies both (VRAM and price range), and we filter by both -
leaderboard is union of local and hosted, local by VRAM and hosted by
price range match.
Phase 2:
Once I have this working, add a local desktop client that automatically
reads user system and infers VRAM, renders app as webview. Considering
pyside6 with Qt for this.
Phase 3:
On desktop client, user can download and chat with the local models
automatically based on leaderboard, optionally call hosted models, etc.
Used primarily to evaluate and compare local vs hosted models for
user's use cases. Also have some interesting alternate experiences to
host within the local private app for user to interact with llms,
agents, etc.
Do let me know whether this seems useful, or how I can make it more
useful.

Kudos for trying and I think it is a great start. Part of the issue
is still that individual models differ greatly ( especially local
ones ) in terms of what they can do ( and do well ). The problem is
that you want some more custom tags ( ideally created by users who
want to contribute to tag's accuracy ) 'can it generate csv', 'can it
follow schema', 'can it offer position on $conversy_Z'.. none of
these will be obvious, but will relate to real use cases.
We go back to the question of 'what does best actually mean'.

We try to create pieces that stand on their own aesthetically but have

earrings (well, strictly speaking they are one beta reduction away from
Y-combinator. Aesthetic oblige) and a pendant depicting a lambda
expression computing Graham's number. The other style is quantum
computing circuits, based on quantum computing research my brother (a

I wrote a tiny DSL to describe the jewelry pieces, and an interpreter
to produce CAD files. We then either 3D print them or have them
produced by lost-wax.
We are 200% out of our comfort zone (and love it): I know nothing of
front end dev, payments, or anything like that. The diamond district in
New York is a neighborhood we normally actively avoid, but if you are
forced to go there it is fascinating (people examining diamonds on the
corner of the street, others in fur coats in summer straight out of a

scripts to mirror the words on an epub, which does help with focus but

My current epub reader software I use requires you to press a button to

Agent harness for durable workflows, starting with Temporal.
Most agents for durable workflows feel like toy examples. There is no
"Codex" or "Claude Code" for, say, Temporal. So I'm building
full-featured agent for these runtimes. Why? Because it makes
long-running agents easier to operate and scale. Currently, all
frontier harnesses need to run inside a guest OS and need a dedicated
process, this is quite challenging to orchestrate and maintain.
To make it work, I had to figure out what part to run as deterministic
workflow code, and what part to run as I/O or side effects (aka
activities). I'm using a CAS for most of the payloads to maintain a
lightweight footprint in the workflow code.
Currently supporting skills, MCP, prompts, a virtual file systems, and

Continuing to work on a high-performance observability / log analysis
SaaS: [1] The basic idea is to make Regex-scans so fast/cheap that "a
metric" can be anything numeric in the text and "tracing" is useless
because you can just log (and filter) more things. Turns out Regex at
>200GB/s solves a lot of problems.
Metric cardinality explosion is immediately a non-issue, histograms
have arbitrary resolution, and you can get from histogram pixels back
to the underlying logs. And no need to instrument everything thrice for
logs, metrics and traces.
The next big feature I'm aiming for is needle-in-a-haystack searches.
The data block headers support it already, but the scan engine doesn't

Most recently I was also probing people about how they conceptualize of

There's a general problem where certain concepts become so overloaded

Compiled agents: [1] It takes your instructions, write a versioned
spec, then generates a hybrid workflow of code+LLM calls and protects
it with tests/evals
The result is that the agents run much faster (90% of it is code),
cheaper (LLM steps are scoped tightly and uses smaller models) and
reliably (specs get turned into coded state-machine)

coordinates, but speed, direction, motion detection, precise timing
between waypoints, being able to play these trips forward and backward,

It's still early days, but I have a demo running. Unfortunately, it
requires using a drop-in replacement library for CoreLocation. That

I've been continuing work on cardcast.gg. It gives you the ability to

In the last month or so I added a few nifty features:
- Auto-scan functionality: Instead of having to click on cards to
discover what they are, I can now do whole-frame detection on an
interval (configurable), so players can mouse over the webcam stream of
another player and automatically see what the actual card is. Super
helpful for deciding who to attack and makes turns quicker!
- Card view is now grouped by player, since auto-detection will
populate a lot of cards during the course of a game.
- Switch the video stream to Livekit from my homebrew version. Players
were having video trouble and I hope Livekit is good enough so solve
that problem.

and privacy-related websites and applications.
Feature-wise, for June weâve already added a ton of personalization

ProxyStore to sell vouchers (weâre currently in talks for this), so

Typically one email per story.
It checks every 5 minutes, and if more than one story happens to

Iâm working on Peak Flow Meter Diary, a simple app to help people

In the UK alone, around 7.2 million people have asthma. Globally, WHO
estimates that asthma affected 363 million people in 2023 and caused
442,000 deaths.
Peak Flow Meter Diary is not meant to detect every possible trigger. It

dusty bag is opened in the same room. But it could help with risks that
can realistically be monitored ahead of time, such as weather, pollen,
pollution, cold air, storms, and similar factors.

clinicians.
