Visor is a new type of trading terminal centered around options and gamma exposure (gex). Its main feature is overlaying the options payout graph directly on the chart — described as like tastytrade rotated 90° and put on a live barchart — so traders can watch all the Greeks play out in real time.
The author notes that, with the specter of raised prices on the horizon, the local-only portion of their setup gained some additional focus. No further details about the setup are provided.
An early-stage mini-project attempting to replicate testing of whether AI agents elevate inferred persona, memory, or background context above explicit user requests. The author links to a Bloomberg-reported study on Claude and ChatGPT AI bots offering different shopping prices based on wealth as the study being replicated.
A few hackathon entries built by the author as fun mini-projects; no names or further details are given.
The author's LLM-based RPG received a few additions; it remains unpublished, as the author has 'still nothing I am willing to publish'.
The author's first working and useful Unraid app, listed among their recent fun mini-projects. No name or further details are provided.
The author (cowlevel) describes privately tracking the spread of pirate scene releases, stating they can't say more publicly. No project name, link, or further details are given; they also mention playing Old-School RuneScape as a separate activity.
A personal winter-gardening experiment: the commenter is trying to keep tomato plants growing through the winter season.
An in-progress migration of the author's personal infrastructure to a more well-documented setup. They have moved the authoritative DNS zones for some of their domains into Terraform and are still working on related Ansible setups, describing the effort as overkill but a valuable learning exercise.
A comment describing a 'club distro' — a Linux distribution the commenter characterizes as bloated — intended to give everyone a standardized environment for automated testing frameworks, context-specific documentation, and viable applications. No project name or link is given in the source.
A personal AI librarian that makes large collections of local epub and pdf files accessible again. It helps users rediscover forgotten files, find information by meaning, explore unexpected connections, and save discoveries for future interests or projects.
A fast macOS-native Bible search app. It lays out all 31k verses in <10ms in a single scrollable window (tested on an M1 Pro MacBook) and re-filters/re-lays-out results in <6ms on each keystroke. It supports deep search syntax (ranges, quoting), lets users click an English word to search for verses containing the Greek, Hebrew, or Aramaic word it translates, matches OT verses via the Septuagint for a given Greek word, and includes built-in Greek and Hebrew lexicons that display entries for each original-language search term.
A personal handwriting practice described by commenter azriel91: practicing handwriting with different fountain pens. They found that a relatively inexpensive 0.6 mm italic nib from Manuscript's Creative Calligraphy set works well with their natural handwriting, looking good even when just starting out. After spending a few hundred dollars trying different nibs, they learned that stroke width variation generally comes from pressure and 'pulling' the nib in parallel, while stub/italic/calligraphy nibs provide line variation through the angle. They also note their handwriting is very small and stub nibs below 1 mm are hard to find, except that one comes with the Manuscript set, and they warn that fountain pens are a rabbit hole.
A tabletop role-playing game set in Imperial Rome that author gavmor works on as a free-time project.
An archeological research RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) database that gavmor is building to fact-check their Imperial Rome TTRPG.
A browser-extension agent harness that gavmor works on in their free time.
gavmor is experimentally training NCM models, e.g. for entity extraction (which didn't work) or for playing Wesnoth (jury's still out).
US Cartograms — maps with proportionally adjusted areas, a free-time project by gavmor.
Jug.fyi — a probabilistic distribution calculator built by gavmor as a free-time project.
LisaGUI is a project by ayaros that currently has a website; the builder is putting the finishing touches on a redesigned project website with a much more modern design than the current site's, with only one page of copy left to rewrite and a couple of minor additions remaining.
A side-project journal app by hyraki, essentially a customizable version of Diarium that lets the author add any features missing from Diarium and Day One. It includes a distraction-free "writing" mode where everything disappears except the words, voice-to-text transcription that can be pasted into the entry body while keeping the recording, a better picture layout, and Apple Watch integration for speaking ideas directly into the watch. New feature ideas are easy to integrate.
A suite of the builder's own cloud-based, local-first apps optimized for e-ink tablets, specifically the Boox Palma 2, covering notes, book reader, browser, music player, maps, camera, etc., with a companion iOS app that combines all of them. The motivation is that when the author wants to disconnect, they can just grab the Palma and go.
A planned video series by bitwize showing themselves programming, deliberately without AI assistance, on personal projects they hold dear. The aim is to preserve a louder echo of "the old ways" of programming; narration is done by typing into a box rather than speaking. Inspired by creators like Tsoding.
An idea for a GEGL/babl-based image raster/vector/pixel editor for Mac, using Metal for all on-canvas effect previews to achieve both speed and full XCF compatibility. No project name or link is given in the source.
An idea for an IDE with a full agentic plugin that 'ablates' functions or pieces of code for the user to complete, so practice means building toward a real program instead of leetCode-style exercises. It would also guide users with bug fixes and other tasks, and includes a fully integrated DOS environment with a fully functioning debugger and asset editors. It also works on iPad. No project name or link is given in the source.
The author is fixing a leaky skylight (a home repair project).
A language learning app the author has been working on. At its most basic it keeps track of the user's SRS (spaced repetition) items and builds stories in worlds the user can create to help review them. The author says it combines things they have wanted as a language learner with their favorite aspects of various apps they use.
A hardware tool the author built ("ages ago") to monitor mains power frequency with a resolution of some microseconds, originally intended to test whether power-grid phase jitter correlates with space weather — essentially using the mains power system as a sort of radio telescope. The space-weather correlation never worked (partly due to limited time), though the author could see interesting effects such as generators spinning up to maintain grid frequency. The author believes better code optimization and optocoupler choice could push resolution down to hundreds of nanoseconds, and plans to open source the hardware when done.
A work-in-progress project by threetwoonezero: a procedurally generated civilisation, mostly inspired by Crusader Kings mechanics, in which character personalities drive most of the historical events. The author notes it has been a lot of fun to work on.
An ongoing experiment in which the builder is "vibe coding" with LLMs to test whether the structure of latent space can be used to identify culturally bound concepts (e.g., "fan death"), optimizing runs of the Qwen model on a local GPU to test theories.
