    A tool for creating CSS color palettes for web UIs that pass WCAG accessibility standards for color contrast:

    https://www.inclusivecolors.com/

    Unlike most tools based around autogenerating colors, this is more of an editor that lets you fully customise all the tint/shades to your liking and with a focus on accessibility. This is important when you've got existing brand colors to include and want to find accessible color combinations that work together.

    Would love feedback in general and especially from designers/devs who have different needs in how they go about creating branded palettes!

      This is great! As a non-designer, I've been relying on ChatGPT to select color schemes/palettes for me.

        Thanks! Any problems you've found the above approach or it's usually good enough?

    Visually I’m working on a new landing page for phrasing. It’s almost done, just need to record a few videos: https://phrasing.app/next

    Behind the scenes I’m rebuilding the sync engine to properly support offline mode. Trying to get to instant opens for the app (and of course work offline). It’s probably my 5th sync engine. It’s been really fun to see how much easier, faster, better, etc each new iteration is.

    (And the project at large is https://phrasing.app - a language learning app for polyglots. It’s like anki but designed to be enjoyed)

    > What are you working on?

    Myself, mostly. Trying to wrestle with realizing how much time I've not been spending on my supposedly main project[1] and questioning whether it's really worth doing.

    > Any new ideas that you're thinking about?

    Way too many. Writing todo lists is part of working on myself.

    [1]: PAPER, a pure-Python ~(pip/pipx replacement), from scratch with an emphasis on simplicity and elegance. https://github.com/zahlman/paper . There's more locally that I haven't pushed, including factoring some stuff out into a separate project and planning more of the same. But yeah.

    An AI based time tracker: reconstructs your day from whatever it sees you doing. Screenshot based but never stores them.

    https://donethat.ai/data

    The same tech stack is pretty easily adaptable to openclaw tracking. If anybody would like to try, DM

    Also looking into AI based security tools for monitoring security of DoneThat. Thinking of using zeropath would love to hear if people tried them / have other suggestions

      Cool!

      This feels like it will very easily segway into corporate "spyware" if you ever start doing enterprise plans.

      What's your take on that?

      • christoph1235 minutes ago
        I built mine with all kinds of privacy features built in: from never storing raw data to always allowing to review before sharing anything to always offering to pause, excluding apps, deleting data, opt-in for social features, …

        So spyware in the sense of getting information without the employee knowing would be impossible and not something I’d ever want to do.

        It does enable transparency on a very abstracted level: your team could see a six bullet point summary of your day if you opt in. I believe this kind of transparency can actually help more teams go remote, cut down on sync meetings, etc.

        I’m currently experimenting with a feature that shows relative time spent only, not absolute - so e.g. 30% on project X, 20% on admin, etc. That could be the sweet spot on visibility vs privacy.

    I'm working to figure out new auxetic geometries for 3D lattices. The arrowhead is cool and simple, and gyroids are very effective, but I'm trying to discover if there's something simple, printable, and maximally effective. Tough problem. There's no general theory for auxetic lattices, so it's a matter of reasoning from the desired mechanism to find patterns that fit, almost like alchemical trial-and-error.

    It's an infinite canvas that runs SQL.

    I've been working with data my entire career. I feel like we need to alt+tab so much. What if we just put it all on a canvas?

    Currently very WIP, but there's a simple titanic demo available!

    Built with tldraw and duckdb wasm, running on cloudflare durable objects

    Working on new code review tooling specifically for reviewing your own branches/commits when you use an "AI Agent" to assist with writing code. It seems all of the tools people are building in this space attempt to automate away the review, but I want better tools for reviewing (and tracking tech debt) in the code I just generated locally. Will publish here soon

    I'm building a free alternative to SimpleCitizen (YC S16).

    It's a free USCIS form-filling web-app(no Adobe required). USCIS forms still use XFA PDFs, which don’t let you edit in most browsers. Even with Adobe, fields break, and getting the signature is hard.

    So I converted the PDF form into modern, browser-friendly web forms - and kept every field 1:1 with the original. You fill the form, submit it, and get the official USCIS PDF filled.

    https://fillvisa.com/demo/

    I found out simplecitizen offers a DIY plan for $529 (https://www.simplecitizen.com/pricing/)

    So, a free (and local-only) version might be a good alternative

    A substack for 80/20 life advice and behaviour change.

    https://euzoia.substack.com

    Full project: https://euzoia.org

    Tried to be super low-tech: Notion, super.so, Spotify creators, riverside.

    Now thinking of building an email-based agent for behaviour change accountability. Would love any pointers to good UX for email-based AI assistants.

    afaik a blocker on making useful internal agents is connecting to data sources and then exposing that data to said agent

    im building Satori to fix this -https://www.usesatori.sh/

    would love feedback!

    Lots of work left to do, but happy to have a working version up. It's an interactive map that currently shows all the routes and stops for SF Muni, BART, Caltrain, samTrans, and VTA. There are many more agencies (official and unofficial) in the bay, so I'll be adding those throughout the next few days as I sort out the data.

    Finding the data and cleaning/normalizing it is a real pain, so if anyone knows a good place to find them (and normalize them), please do share
