| The insight: the friction in getting testimonials isn't that
| clients don't want to help - it's that a blank "leave a review"
| box produces mediocre one-liners. SocialProof guides them through
| structured questions ("what was your situation before?" / "what
| changed?") so you get a compelling before/after narrative
| automatically.
|
| Free tier: unlimited testimonials. Just launched and looking for
| feedback from anyone who deals with client testimonials.

| for events (QR validation, Stripe payouts), streaming
| integrations (Twitch, Zoom, etc.), a magazine system for
| publishing articles, and a marketplace to sell music (digital or
| physical), gear, merch, and services. The goal is to give
| underground scenes a self-hosted infrastructure for releasing
| music, organizing events, and sustaining their communities.

| This weekend I spent a lot of time on an Agent Registry idea I
| wanted to try out. The basic idea is that you put your Agent code
| in a Docker image, run the container with a few specific labels,
| and the system detects the Container coming online, grabs the
| AgentCard, and stores it in the Registry. The Registry then has
| (in the current version) a REST interface for searching Agents
| and performing other operations.
|
| But once all the low level operations are done, my plan is to
| implement an A2A Agent as the sole Agent listed in the AgentCard
| at $SERVER_ROOT/.well-known/agent-card.json, which is itself an
| "AgentListerAgent". So you can send messages to that Agent to
| receive details about all the registered Agents. Keeps everything
| pure A2A and works around the point that (at least in the current
| version) A2A doesn't have any direct support for the notion of
| putting multiple Agents on the same server (without using
| different ports). There are proposals out there to modify the
| spec to support that kind of scenario directly, but for my money,
| just having an AgentListerAgent as the "root" Agent should work
| fine.
|
| Next steps will include automatically defining routes in a proxy
| server (APISIX?) to route traffic to the Agent container. And I
| think I'll probably add support for Agents beyond just A2A based
| Agents.
|
| And of course the basic idea could be extended to all sorts of
| scenarios. Also, right now this is all based on Docker, using the
| Docker system events mechanism, but I think I'll want to support
| Kubernetes as well. So plenty of work to do...

|
| Migration is likely to take a couple more years, but this is a

| I've rewritten the server, to present a _much_ smaller API.
| Unfortunately, I 'm not yet ready to change the server SQL schema

| to have something fully usable in about a month or two.
|
| I forked the main MiSTer binary due to some disagreements I had
| with Sorg in how he's running things [1]. My fork was largely
| done by Codex and Claude, but the tl;dr of it is that it has
| automatic backup of your saves, tagging and versioning of your
| saves, and it abuses the hell out of SQLite to give better
| guarantees of write safety than the vanilla MiSTer binary gives
| you. I've been using it for a few weeks now and it seems to work
| fine, and it's neat to be able to tag and version saves.

|
| Aside from that, we've noticed that the basics really matter, so

|
| We're definitely a bit delusional, we're just 3 people, we're

| Sort of! I did a lot of research on this before I built

| events are becoming prohibitively expensive: venues, vendors,
| equipment rentals, etc are all eating away at the ceiling
| gamers will pay and the floor that organizations can charge
| from.
|
| LAN.events helps tackle this by decreasing the cost per
| ticket and shifting that cost to the customer rather than the
| event manager. We don't introduce minimum event costs or
| percentage based pricing which lets event managers keep or
| give back more profits. There is more I can do in this space,

| It's a bit scary basically 180ing like this but I figure if I
| don't try it now I never will
|
| I've already started prototyping various ideas, and to be honest
| just sitting down and spending time doing this has been really
| quite lovely
|
| One thing I'm finding fun is slowly unearthing what I actually
| find interesting
|
| I started with messing around in minecraft and tinkering with
| rimworld-like game ideas, but I'm slowly moving away from them as
| I've been tinkering more and more
|
| Don't get me wrong, I do want to revisit them at some point in
| the future, but I do find myself circling more around narrative,
| simulations and zachlikes
|
| It's a bit of an odd mix and in some ways they look like paradox
| style games, but I'm well aware that taking one of those
| behemoths on is going to be a bit silly, so I'm trying to slim
| down until I get to a kernel that I actually find enjoyable
| tinkering with
|
| A toy if you will
|
| Currently I'm trying to work out if there's anything interesting
| in custom unit design, basically unpicking how games like
| rollercoaster tycoon's coaster design maps to stats like
| excitement ratings and seeing how that might mix with old school
| point buy systems
|
| It feels like it might be small enough to be a good toy and I'm
| having fun tinkering with it, but I have no idea whether other
| people will xD
|
| It might honestly be too niche for anyone and I've successfully
| optimised for an audience of one :shrug:

| I've been working on two small projects recently.
|
| 1. Live Kaiwa -- real-time Japanese conversation support
|
| I live in a rural farming neighborhood in Japan. Day-to-day
| Japanese is fine for me, but neighborhood meetings were a
| completely different level. Fast speech, local dialect,
| references to people and events from decades ago. I'd leave
| feeling like I understood maybe 5% of what happened.
|
| So I built a tool for myself to help follow those conversations.
|
| Live Kaiwa transcribes Japanese speech in real time and gives
| English translations, summaries, and suggested responses while
| the conversation is happening.
|
| Some technical details:
|
| * Browser microphone streams audio via WebRTC to a server with
| Kotoba Whisper * Multi-pass transcription: quick first pass, then
| higher-accuracy re-transcription that replaces earlier text *
| Each batch of transcript is sent to an LLM that generates
| translations, summary bullets, and response suggestions *
| Everything is streamed back to the UI live * Session data stays
| entirely in the browser -- nothing stored server-side
|
| https://livekaiwa.com
|

|
| 2. Cooperation Cube -- a board game that rotates the playing
| field
|
| Years ago I built a physical board game where players place
| sticks into a wooden cube to complete patterns on the faces.
|
| The twist: the cube rotates 90deg every round, so patterns you're
| building suddenly become part of someone else's board. It creates
| a mix of strategy, memory, and semi-cooperative play.
|
| I recently built a digital version.
|
| Game mechanics:
|
| * 4 players drafting cards and placing colored sticks on cube
| faces * The cube rotates every 4 actions * Players must remember
| what exists on other faces * Cooperation cards allow two players
| to coordinate for shared bonuses * Game ends when someone runs
| out of short sticks
|
| https://cooperationcube.com

|
| Both projects mostly started as things I wanted to exist for
| myself. Curious what people think.

|
| There are web-based tools to help fiction authors to keep their

| how they change during each chapter.
|
| I am trying to make an agent skill that has two parts:
|
| - the SKILL.md that defines the goal (what criteria the novel
| must satisfy to be complete and good) and the general method
|
| - some other md files that describe different roles (planner,

|
| - a python file which the agent uses as the interface into the

|
| For the first few iterations, I'm using cheap models (Gemini

|
| The core feature that makes this more useful than most general

|
| For project Affirmator, I installed Linux Mint Debian Edition
| (LMDE). Using Cron and Mpv to shuffle-play activity-specific
| folders of MP3s at the same time each day. For example, for the
| chill jazz music - I've got a folder of 40+ song MP3s. Cron plays
| those at 06:30. So it's like a calm, upbeat alarm clock. I'm not
| a morning person, so this is a "friendly" way for me to wake
| myself up!
|
| For the vocal affirmation part - I built a Python tool that reads
| 200+ text affirmations from a markdown/text file. It then uses
| AWS Polly text-to-speech API to vocalize the affirmations into
| MP3s. Next, I use `ffmpeg` to add a variable silent spacer gap to
| the ends of all the MP3s. This allows your to hear a voice
| affirmation ("I am fit, athletic, and strong!", "I am a confident
| piano player."), and then there is silent space for you to say it
| out loud, or repeat in your head.
|
| This project incorporates ideas & routines from: The Strangest

| the phrases into each language. These phrases are ordered by
| frequency. When you want to improve your language skills, you set

| haven't found a solution I'm happy with yet...
|
| Open-source CNC router tech stack: - I have a CNC router (robotic
| drill which can carve 3D shapes into wood). Last year I
| challenged myself to operate it completely through an open-source
| tech stack. This took me on a journey of learning Inkscape (2d
| vector design tool, SVG), FreeCAD (3D product design / CAD / CAM
| tool), G-code (format of text instructions which tell CNC tools
| where to move and what to do), Universal G-Code Sender (a tool
| which imports CAM - computer aided manufacturing - designs,
| connects to the CNC router tool, and actually operates machine.
| It's quite exciting to play with! Used Kiri-moto (web-based CAD /
| CAM tool) to convert 2D/SVG designs into 3D shapes). Used OBS
| (screen recording/streaming tool) and a bunch of web-cams to
| live-stream tool usage to PeerTube Live (similar to YouTube).
|
| Being "principled" about using open-source tools can be so
| challenging, but its quite rewarding on the long run.
|
| LEARNING SPANISH - What's working for me... trying to read
| spanish books before bed. Handwriting a few paragraphs from a
| book into journal. Highlighting words I don't know. Looking them
| up later. Reading a book while listening to its audio book at the

| different GUI toolkits as possible (including use cases for
| javascript + the web). The idea is to have objects that are
| abstract and represent a widget, say: button1 =
| create_button('Hello world!') button1.on_clicked {
| the_hello_world_button_was_clicked } # this is
| the verbose variant in a pseudo-DSL, # I like things
| being explicit. In most code # I may omit some parts e.
| g. _ = button('Hello world!') {
| :the_hello_world_button_was_clicked }
|
| It defaults to ruby and what ruby supports (including jruby-
| swing) but two additional languages to use are python and java.
| Anyway.
|
| I recently added the possibility to describe what kind of widgets
| are to be used via a yaml file, as an option. This may not sound
| like a huge win, but so far what I like here is that it becomes
| easier to modify individual widgets without having to sift
| through code; and it works for more programming languages too.
| Any customization for the widget, including method-invocations if
| necessary, can be done via a yaml file now. There is of course a
| trade off in that the yaml file can become a bit complex (if the
| GUI uses many widgets), so for the most part I use this for
| smaller widgets/components that do one specific functionality
| (or, few specific functionalities). For instance, a GUI over
| wget. Then if other larger programs need that, I make this small
| widget more useful and flexible.
|
| The distant goal is to actually use a simple DSL that also would
| allow average Joe to customize everything in a very easy manner;
| and to have a widget set that can be used for as many different
| parts possible including wonky ideas such as having a whole
| operating system as a GUI available one day (a bit like webmin,
| but not limited to what webmin does; for instance, I'd also have
| games such as solitaire, reversi and so forth). I'd like to see

|
| The interesting part was using an LLM to create a complete

| instantly again xD
|
| So the first thing i STRONGLY recommend, add somewhere a help
| text (before starting game or small on the side of ingame and
| ability to disable via options) for the controles.
|
| Im on a Desktop, i started the game and i expected some sort of
| short info about controles. Yes theres a tutorial - no i didnt
| play it. I mean lets be honest... tryNSucceed :D
|
| So ye i spend the first 2-3 Stages only spamming spacebar
| because it didnt came to my mind that maybe its with mouse
| support (visually it really hard compares to vs-likes that dont
| support mouse).
|
| So i can tell - ice mage with just massive rapid space spamming
| works perfectly fine through the whole earth stage. ^^
|
| I find the base look finem the overview texts for the different
| arch types is well done (even tho it confused me that fire and
| ice dont have weaknesses?).
|
| The point that at least for me was the most well, unpleasent? ,
| is the size of the play area. I guess you made this to fit easy
| with smartphone screens, but on a desktop its like not even 1/4
| of my screen (and im not on 4k or something) so dunno it feels
| just alot to small. May fit for a smartphone but for a desktop
| its just very very limiting while the game takes alot of space
| for basically nothing.
|
| Also, you definatly should have a "Settings" button in the game
| pause menu which allows for changing sound levels. Not just a
| "total sound" bar but at least have Music and Sounds (attack
| etc) seperated. Because, frankly speaking, the music while for
| the first like 30 seconds is cool, very fast is dunno it just
| would fit more to the entry video scene of something than as a
| constant thing (my pov) - so i wish i would be able to just
| disable the music and still have the attack/battle sounds.
| Adjusting both tho would be great anyway and i think with
| phaser should be quite doable.
|
| A smaller point (visual) is the size of the health/mana bars.
| Even tho i know they are in the top left, i kinda have to
| squeece my eyes sometimes to see them. So i would probably just
| make them bigger.
|
| That all said, i mean i just played solo till the fire stage :)
| and i clearly had a bit of fun.
|
| I would say its a great start and if you go on and refine it i
| see a chance that people might pick it up as a nobrainer lets
| just game something solution :)

|
| So I wrote both from scratch in pure Go.

| 0.9999. It's 10-50x slower than ONNX Runtime, but for my workload
| (embed one short query at search time, batch ingest at deploy
| time) 154ms per embedding is noise.
|
| goformersearch (https://www.mikeayles.com/blog/goformersearch/)
| is the vector index. Brute-force and HNSW, same interface, swap
| with one line. I couldn't justify pulling in FAISS for the index
| sizes I'm dealing with (10k-50k vectors), and the pure Go HNSW
| searches in under 0.5ms at 50k vectors. Had to settle for HNSW
| over FAISS's IVF-PQ, but at this scale the recall tradeoff is
| fine.
|
| The interesting bit was finding the crossover point where HNSW
| beats brute-force. At 384 dimensions it's around 2,400 vectors.
| Below that, just scan everything, the graph overhead isn't worth
| it. I wrote it up with benchmarks against FAISS for reference.
|
| Together they're a zero-dependency semantic search stack. go get
| both libraries, download a model from HuggingFace, and you have
| embedding generation + vector search in a single static binary.
| No Python, no Docker, no CGO.

|
| HEBBS replaces that stack with a single embedded binary (RocksDB

| subscribe), and consolidate (reflect, insights, policy). The
| interesting part is four recall strategies -- similarity,
| temporal, causal, and analogical -- instead of just "nearest
| vector."
|
| Some technical decisions I'm happy with:
|
| - No network calls on the hot path. Embeddings run locally via
| ONNX; LLM calls only happen in the background reflect pipeline.
|
| - recall at 2ms p50 / 8ms p99 at 10M memories on a 2 vCPU
| instance.
|
| - Append-only event model for memories -- sync is conflict-free,
| and forget is itself a logged event (useful for GDPR).
|
| - Lineage tracking: insights link back to source memories,
| revisions track predecessors.
|
| SDKs for Python, TypeScript, and Rust. CLI with a REPL. gRPC +

| A PKMS (Personal Knowledge Management System) VS Code extension -
| "AS Notes"
|
| https://www.appsoftware.com/products/knowledge-management/as...
|
| It implements [[wikilinking]], backlinking, task management into
| VS Code. The idea is to bring Logseq / Obsidian capability to VS
| Code.
|
| The blurb:
|
| If you already live in VS Code, why manage your notes somewhere
| else? AS Notes brings the power of wikilink-based knowledge
| management - the kind you'd find in Obsidian or Logseq - directly
| into your editor. No Electron wrapper. No separate app. No
| syncing headaches. Just your markdown files, your Git repo, and
| the editor you already know.
|
| Why AS Notes? Your data stays local. No cloud sync, no telemetry,
| no accounts. Your notes are plain .md files in a folder you
| control. Git-friendly by design. Every note is a .md file - diff
| them, branch them, review them. Your knowledge base gets the same
| versioning discipline as your code. Lightweight. A local SQLite
| database (powered by WASM - no native dependencies) keeps
| everything fast without bloating your workspace. Key Features
| Wikilinks Type [[ to trigger page selection and autocomplete.
| Links resolve to .md files anywhere in your workspace - not just
| the current folder. If the target doesn't exist, it's created
| automatically, useful for forward-referencing pages you plan to
| write later.
|
| Renaming a page offers to update every reference across your
| workspace. Hover tooltips show the target file, whether it
| exists, and how many other pages link to it.
|
| Backlinks The Backlinks panel shows every page that links to the
| file you're currently editing, with surrounding line text for
| context. A straightforward way to see how ideas connect across
| your knowledge base.
|
| Open it with Ctrl+Alt+B - it stays in sync as you navigate
| between files.
|
| AS Notes Backlinks Task Management A lightweight task system
| built on standard markdown checkboxes. Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter on
| any line to cycle through states (unchecked - checked - plain
| text). The Tasks panel in the Explorer sidebar aggregates every
| task across your entire knowledge base, grouped by page - filter
| to show only unchecked items, or toggle completion directly from
| the panel.
|
| Page Aliases Define aliases in YAML front matter so multiple
| names resolve to the same page. [[JS]] and [[ECMAScript]] can
| both navigate to JavaScript.md. Backlink counts include alias
| references, and rename tracking updates aliases in front matter
| automatically.
|
| Daily Journal Press Ctrl+Alt+J to create or open today's journal
| entry. AS Notes generates a dated markdown file from a
| customisable template - add your own sections, prompts, or front
| matter to shape your daily workflow. Journal files are indexed
| instantly, so wikilinks and backlinks work from the moment the
| file is created.
|
| AS Notes translates nested wikilinks when rendering markdown
| previews so links navigate correctly. Works alongside other
| markdown extensions - Mermaid diagrams, for example.

|

| While building some software tools for my bass guitar I wanted to

| to slides and add voiceover. Sometimes they'll be animated. Not
| for everyone but I like it for passive learning.
|
| Being a web developer I always thought video was a strange way to
| deliver this information - you can't even copy the text! Videos
| are also hard to make and heavy on bandwidth. So after iterating
| on different approaches to this over the last few years, I
| finally started on a new iteration called useful.
|
| Currently on rev1, so early days:
| https://github.com/ohmstone/useful/tree/rev-1
|
| There are a few more things I want to add to it but I want to get
| back to what I was doing (the bass guitar stuff). So I will make
| few of these website-as-video courses based on my projects to try
| and prove the concept.
|
| Some of the nerdier features useful has:
|
| - Uses state of the art CPU-based TTS with voice cloning,
| realistic enough to not be distracting
|
| - Very simple markup language to create the visuals
|
| - Extensible slide content with simple plugin system
|
| - Full website export with complete SEO/social metadata
|
| - Export is a PWA, so it caches nicely and can work offline
|
| - Self-hostable
|
| - Export is optimized for low bandwidth, so it loads way faster
| than a video and uses <1/10th of the data when served with brotli
|
| - Minimal dependencies
|
| Beyond my own use-case I figured it might be useful for others
| creating courses. One stretch-goal would be for people to turn
| what they are learning via LLMs into low-bandwidth courses like
| this so we don't have people burning energy asking the same
| questions and watching the same 4K videos.

| I have been working on pikku.dev, a typescript server library /

|
| Been a project I was using for a few years now. Initially started
| off as express middleware with a few tools chained together to
| automate as much typing as possible which can run anywhere
| (similar to hono).
|
| Around a year ago I decided to change the approach and write a
| layer to statically analyze the typescript code ontop of tsc and
| pull out as much meta as possible.
|
| After that I went a little crazy and ultimately added wires to
| everything. HTTP, Websockets, Queues, Scheduled Jobs, etc. All
| totally agnostic (the core runtime is pretty tiny). So can run
| scheduled tasks on lambas / a cron job / pgadmin, deploy
| websockets serverless or local, run your queues again most queue
| provides, etc.
|
| I then saw Vercels workflow runner and figured, well, I could try
| do better . Looked at other libraries out there and decided to
| include addons, which are pikku typescript packages that declare
| functions which can be automatically imported into your app and
| are responsible for their own service initialization. If your
| used to writing n8n plugins be awesome to hear what you think
| about this approach!
|
| That sort of required me to create a console to view workflows
| (otherwise what's the point right?). And since everything is
| statically extracted during runtime we can pretty much just
| visualise the entire codebase. So all your functions, what
| permissions each have, etc etc. The idea behind the console is
| that it doesn't have an actual backend. You install an addon into
| your own codebase, permission it as you see fit and you point the
| console towards it. That means you have a unified
| permissions/auth system as everything else.
|
| Figured the last part was creating an AI agent to wrap it all
| together. Which is almost there. Subagent flows, tools,
| approvals, ai middleware that can turn input and output into
| voices, its does a bit.
|
| Ultimately the idea is you write a function once, and it can be
| consumed as an AI tool, a workflow step, by a http route, a cron
| job, a gateway (like whatsapp) (I liked openclaw approach so
| figured.. why not ).
|
| A function is the source of truth, so is permissioned /
| authenticated. Been alot of heavy development since I'm building
| a 'BuildYourAgent' portal ontop that pretty much takes an openapi
| doc and turns it into an MCP server / hooks it up to an agent /
| gives you a CLI around it so it can integrate with all the crazy
| wild west approaches, while you know, still allowing us to
| maintain sanity and build servers that don't hallucinate and burn
| forests down.
