I continue to work on my general-purpose object store; which is a 'multi-modal' data management system. Using it, you can create and manage millions of files in a traditional hierarchical folder structure; create relational tables that can be queried and analyzed quickly and easily; and manage semi-structured data normally handled by nosql systems.

I built a free DS-160 filler - the only one I could find thats 100% free

https://fillvisa.com/form/usa-ds160/

The State Department's CEAC portal times out constantly. Session expires, you lose progress. Every tool that solves this charges some money, or bundles you into an attorney service.

So I built a free interface to fill your DS-160 comfortably at your own pace - then a one-click bookmarklet autofills the CEAC portal for you. No account. No data leaving your browser. 100% free.

~10M+ nonimmigrant visa applicants file this form every year.

Currently Working on https://devlens.io which is an Open source Intelligent Codebase Visualizer for javascript, Reactjs, nextjs and nodejs for easy onboarding and easy PR review.

The open source version is live at https://github.com/devlensio/devlensOSS

You can star the repo if you like the project. I am still working on cloud version which will have lots of features.

Vibe coding allowed me to build a couple of map-related things I geek out about: - a map with all direct train destinations from a given station https://trainconnections.ai-tigers.com/ - a navigation app which avoids traffic jams even it takes longer (I like to stay in flow state) - a bicycle navigation app which avoids traffic lights (for the same reason as the traffic jam app)

Building a website that helps patients to find clinical trials that are actually looking for patients right now. 70% of contacts listed on governmental website for studies that should be active, do not respond to patients. It’s AllClinicalTrials.com

Helping a friend repair the internal oscilloscope control board on an IFR-1200 Super-S communications service monitor.

There's a new undocumented version of the board with surface mount parts that rhymes with the old known through hole version.

yea trying to get beta out for an online game. using deepski and its cheap af rn discount 75% im still at $4 usage after a week of it chugging, and ppl say its not as good as the other models but we are at point where they all distilled off each other and are within margins such that u just pick cheapest one and it works ok as the others, eg none of them are gonna give u anything novel by default if u dont know what ur doing anyway but they can just autocomplete stuff pretty well and explain / find bugs answer questions etc well enough so idk what that means

I used claude to rebuild a simple mobile math game I had previously prototyped in GDevelop. the rebuild is ai assisted but the original game had been created entirely in GDevelop with the use of its visual programming.

Working on a little DSP (digital signal processing) macOS menu bar app. I've got one of those typical bedroom producer setups (Focusrite Scarlett 4i4, Shure SM57), but no hardware for real-time stuff like compression, eq etc that would help me polish my audio in calls. I used to run OBS to host free VSTs (audio effects) and then hijacked the monitor output with a loopback driver to route it into Zoom etc, but it was a janky workflow. So I made a little app, with AI assistance. I made it just for myself, but it's open source - https://github.com/JyrgenSuvalov/klaar/.

I have been working on making streaming cheaper/more private/lower latency (via WebRTC) in OBS. Been working on this site to get people excited https://webrtcforthestreamer.com/ after it is done want to record a YouTube video for it.

After that I want to spend the weekend just closing out Pion bugs/relaxing :)

I am working on npm supply-chain security. My tool is called @lateos/npm-scanner You can install it via npm -I @lateos/npm-scanner . The npm readme page is at https://www.npmjs.com/package/@lateos/npm-scan and open spruce is at https://github.com/lateos-ai/npm-scan . I appreciate all input and feedback

I bought $5 worth of Claude API tokens the other day because Newspeak [0] is implementing an API interface in the IDE.

I work with Newspeak every night building all kinds of crazy stuff, from the raycasting tutorial to an IndexedDB interface. Currently, I have the IDE running as an Isolated Web App for access to TCPSockets [1][2][3].

I'm implementing ancient TCP protocols bringing them to the web.

Good to see this post, a simple non AI tagged post would make it more easier to find useful projects that are not focused on AI, while keeping the community together.

Good timings on this. I think a lot of people are quietly building useful things and just not posting about them because it doesn't get traction next to AI announcements. would love to see more of these threads.

If you must know, I'm writing a real-mode 16-bit x86 assembly to C translator in Common Lisp to be able to run that 3-sector inference engine, which was posted the other day, outside of QEmu, currently I'm debugging it. I'm doing this because it's fun but I can rationalize it as follows: It allows me to simultaneously learn Common Lisp, as I'm otherwise an OCaml & Scheme guy; 16-bit x86 assembly, since I grew up learning 68k assembly and segments are otherwise disgusting; and also slop generator architecture, right now I don't feel like reading a summary paper, those always leave out details. This is 100% hand-written in Emacs in Evil mode, and with SLIME. I guess that counts as a coding assistant, and it's written in LISP and LISP=AI, so that I can claim that I am familiar with generative AI technologies for coding when applying to jobs.

working on a crossword tool that leans on qxw [https://quinapalus.com/qxw.html] for the grid filler and borrows some UI ideas from it, but adds integrated clue management, as well as experimenting with some UI features that are perhaps too idiosyncratic for qxw to add. I will contribute features back to qxw wherever that makes sense too - largely, the latter focuses on being rock solid, stable, and bug free, and I want to take more of a "let's toss in a bunch of features and see what ends up being useful" approach.

Working and getting crazy good results in compression algorithms :)

Hi, I'm David and I run the "What are you working on?" posts. I hear what you're saying and yet I think it's just the new reality. There will be more projects and some of those will be quickly-made vibe-coded projects. I'm not against it.

In Moveable Feast, Hemingway talks about being opposed to ski lifts (which were probably fairly new at the time). He thought, if you're fit enough to hike up the mountain, you're going to be fit enough to ski down without getting injured; it opens skiing up to people who maybe shouldn't be skiing. I deeply prefer ski lifts. :-) And I love agentic AI coding.

I guess what I'm saying is that we shouldn't compare it to the past, because that's gone. And yet, each month the number of comments breaks 1000, so "drowning" is a fair word for just number of projects alone. And I don't have any answers.

Anyway, you (and anyone reading this) can feel free to email me. My email in my profile.
