I've been working on django-simple-deploy, a platform-agnostic tool for automating initial Django deployments. It has preliminary support for three platforms: Platform.sh, Fly.io, and Heroku. I sprinted on it at PyCon, and it was good to have a bunch of new eyes on the project and the codebase. I'm hoping to get it close to 1.0 this summer. Most of the work to get there involves making sure it supports all platforms on Windows, and deployments are stable and reliable across all three platforms. https://django-simple-deploy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ https://django-simple-deploy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Day job (contract): Massive overhaul of an antibody workbench for drug discovery. Evenings: Building out a concept for a "YSQL" bringing CRDTs (Yjs) to SQLite and Postgres. CRDTs are great for real-time, but also awesome for offline async collaboration. Using the same CRDT for both front end data structures and backend database merging seems to me to be a good combination. The plan is to build out some simple primitives first, then layer a SQLite (WASM in browser) <-> Postgres sync system on top for local copying and modification of datasets. Proof of concepts: https://github.com/samwillis/yjs-sqlite-test https://github.com/samwillis/yjs-sqlite-test https://github.com/samwillis/yjs-pg-test https://github.com/samwillis/yjs-pg-test

I'm building a robot from scratch. It's pretty cool to see how processing at the edge (one might even call it AI) lets even lower-power microcontrollers like the Jetson Nano perform tasks that even 10 years ago would have been impossible or needed serious compute/power to perform.

Recently, I started a project that draws simple illustrations using GPT. It began as a lighthearted curiosity, but eventually grew into something bigger, something that makes me smile when “a cat” or “a tesla car” turns into a recognizable sketch with a hint of creativity. It is private yet, but I will be releasing soon. I cherry picked a few illustrations and published them here: https://drawmeasheep.net/ https://drawmeasheep.net/

I recently released Card Buddy [1], a Mac app to help you organize ideas on small index cards on a canvas. You can pick from different canvas styles which can auto-arrange your cards to make it easier to reorder them for a narrative, or pick from a grid-based canvas which lets you stack cards. You can drag images in as well and create a mood board like Pinterest. I'm planning on releasing an iPad version with drawing so you can sketch out storyboards with it.

I’m currently building a service that allows someone to text a link or content they want summarized either via SMS or Discord and the service will return a summary based on certain parameters specified. I realized that there are numerous summarization tools based on Chrome extensions, but I do most my reading from my phone and thought that linking a URL and having a service figure out how to parse and summarize (using GPT) would be a lot easier flow.

For the past 2+ years I've been working on this project on and off (mostly off as of late, but I'd love to get back into it again) MusicLink - a third party music app that does song matchup across streaming services. You can message a friend a link to a song and the app will automatically translate the link to their preferred streaming service. No more getting links to songs on services you don't have and manually looking up music. That's the core functionality but I'm also building in generative playlists & music discovery tools.

  I have been yearning for something like this for so long as I use multiple streaming services. As an example, I wanted to add the song to the other streaming services as soon as I added it to my library in any of them. H

Been working on the past 2 years nearly 100% of my time outside of work a self-hosted media server for books and comics, Kavita. The goal is to take the simplicity of Plex and bring that to comics, manga, and books (epub and pdf). There is so much potential with an app like this, esp with text to speech getting good. I'm also working on Comic tagging tool: MangaManager, which is aimed at bulk editing/writing ComicInfo.xml into archives, which is how metadata is loaded into the major applications for Comics/Manga. https://github.com/Kareadita/Kavita https://github.com/Kareadita/Kavita https://github.com/MangaManagerORG/Manga-Manager https://github.com/MangaManagerORG/Manga-Manager

I work in ecommerce as my day job for a larger company. I currently built a package of web components that can be mixed and matched to build a wide variety of templates / ecommerce without worrying about accessibility, performance, or responsiveness. It also addresses some of the pain points I've seen, like being able to swap an image for a video. The components were built about a year ago, I'm now working on a WYSIWYG that lets you start from a template. Because it's web components, I'm able to export the Props each component. The WYSIWYG reads the export and creates a CMS based on the template you selected. Not sure if I will leave it at that and just give you some HTML you can copy into your own site, or go one step further and start branching into a whole self-hosted content solution.

I'm approaching scheduling first - looking at your calendar and coordinating with others to find availability and setting up a meeting - all by just invoking the model. Eventual goal is to do everything a real human assistant can do online + over phone calls. Just starting off, and would love to talk to more people interested in this domain.

    Thank you so much! I spent some time researching subjective well-being, life satisfaction and behaviour change a few years ago when I was at an unhappy point in life, and started experimenting building systems that helped me be consistent and balanced in the things that are meaningful to me. I tried to figure out how to make it sustainable and low friction through automations, habit rules, emergency modes/completion types and so on. All this led to Conjure. For me, what differentiates it are Habit Completion Types, Habit Version Control, the Habit Rules Engine, being real-time across web, desktop and mobile, the Measurement system with custom fields and a bunch of other over-engineered things :)
