I made a project to play dance dance revolution without a dance pad, instead using 2 high speed cameras, and running each frame through a shallow convnet to classify the steps.
The tape on the floor is so I know where to step. The stools are so I don't accidentally step on cameras
My mom nitted (?) this advent calendar when I was a child. Every odd year I know fill it with small little presents (Sundays are filled with bigger presents/coupons) and give it back to my parents.
The Advent calendar thing started when she went away to college age 16, and now we're 11 years on it's "tradition". I've never made the bags and things before though. Was a fun project to learn about my new sewing machine.
err — this is an online app that translates + creates Anki flashcards. it also provides audio and LLM generated leads for further inquiry into the language.
I use it to learn Danish. I first built a (terminal-based) iteration for myself...but my friends loved it, and I realised I had to pursue it.
...and now I feel that I should really really really think about shipping it no later than next week — just for the sake of closure and moving on and killing your darlings as this would be my first very-intentional publicly-available *product*
This has been a useful project for me and I hope to release something in the coming year.
* Made for Python, but anything can control the GUI (and send data to view) via sockets
* Problem I'm facing is I've started to reinvent existing things, such as SVG and declarative viz like Vega-Lite.
I am working on a trip planning web application. It is still a work in progress, but I already used it myself with my friend to plan an actual trip, and it did help over collaborating over Excel sheet
I am really satisfied with how I implemented the timetable using in CSS Grid
Whole-History Rating (https://www.remi-coulom.fr/WHR/) takes a collection of 1-vs-1 results over time and tries to find a maximally likely rating trajectory for each participant (results shouldn't be too surprising, ratings shouldn't change too fast). Mostly I just implemented it for my dataset.
From the graveyard of failed experiments: During Corona lockdown I stumbled upon Berlin city’s API (+OSM tiles) for local business listings. I built a prototype iOS app like Yelp but didn’t go much further because of bureaucratic hurdles in getting correct data.
I missed having a proper organized digital music library ever since switching to Spotify for music listening, so I created a lil web app that stores only album covers + artist country metadata for filtering. haven't spent much more than a minute picking something to listen to after coming up with it
A service for monitoring database backups, allowing you to run standard and custom consistency checks and get notified if there are any issues with the backups, or with the data in the db.
Very much needed. The matplotlib built-in plot layout tools are so basic. I created a `bisect()` function in one of my libraries for splitting a plot into two plots, either horizontally or vertically. I found this made for a pretty handy API.
He’s not “an AI dude”. He is a talented old head programmer, created Django (web framework used by Instagram among other). He coined the term “AI slop”.
One thing I've picked up from this exercise is that I should aspire to make my weird little personal tools look visually WAY better than they do at the moment
If there are any you think would add the most value for the community, I’d be happy to chip in and help you with the UI design. Just wanna help make new tools approachable for folks.
I wanted to make an interactive page where you could drag countries around and it would show you how skewed the Mercator projection is. As you can see, my math is a little off.
It's not "skewed". All projections from a globe onto a flat surface introduce one distortion or another in order to make the map useful. The Mercator's use is not to show the comparative size of landmasses. In the case of Mercator, the distortion is _________________ (you fill it in).
Try my custom GPT text adventure "The Village" based on the classic TV series "The Prisoner" at https://chatgpt.com/g/g-xg9n4hk1s-the-village where you can talk to other Villagers, search for clues, read today's issue of the Tally Ho, visit Number 2 in the Green Dome, and maybe plan an escape.
I made an app that helps track those rarely used but important stuff we all have - like Christmas decor, spare appliance parts. I'd usually stash these things in the garage and struggle to find them when needed.
It is called Keep Seek (not a great name and not sure if anyone will find it useful 😅).
How it works: Take a photo of the item and upload it to the app. It uses AI to identify the item, extract the info from the image, generates a description and other details, then stores it in the database. The user wouldn't have to do any manual data entry at all.
I made an app that pulls in SEC, news, earnings calls, press release data about every company on the stock market, and allows you to search through it easily to find insights
Love this! Worked on a project a few years back rendering chemistry word problems into interactive diagrams where you could play with the variables and see what happened and this would have been a godsend
One of a matching pair of floating edge desks built by my best friend and I to our height/arm length proportions based on the guidelines in the excellent Human Dimensions and Interior Space
I did an experiment to see if I could make a neural network to identify digits from the MNIST dataset after performing a discrete cosine transform (DCT) on the images. It was only about 5% less accurate.
No install, Apptainer-based framework that simplifies launching and running LLMs on large clusters with 100+ 8-GPU nodes. It reduces validation/troubleshooting/shipping times drastically. Works on both nVidia and AMD GPU systems.
No docker, pyxis and enroot is needed and leaves no traces.
We have building a programming language (https://github.com/fastn-stack/fastn/), and https://FifthTry.com, which is basically an integrated Github (collaboration system using our custom version control system), IDE, and hosting infrastructure. All of these are designed from ground up for non programmers.
I paid an indie-gamer I found through a YouTube tutorial who was providing samples for "$5 or however much you'd like to pay me" (which I felt was WAY too little for how much time it would take *me* to make, so I bumped that up a significant factor).
It's pretty bit rotted now, but when Llama first came out I made a Unity native LLM inference platform written entirely in compute shaders: https://github.com/alvion427/PerroPastor
The current shaders are a bit of a mess. After I got things working I started a big rewrite with fused attention kernels that I never finished and it has bit rotted since then.
That's the first scenario #TTRPG of a series based of different songs, using the Call of Cthulhu rules. Their antagonist is the Ordo Templis Orientis, by Aleister Crowley, but it's not your typical world destroying cult. I'm putting the effort that each NPC is not clearly good or evil.
A semantic data modeling tool. I've mentioned it in comments on HN but never posted directly. It's lacked some of my attention this year due to an acquisition at my day job but I hope to return to it soon.
I was using Vivado at the time, build target was a trainer board (Basys3 iirc). This was for a CS&E course at UCLA, nothing put into product or anything like that
Midi controller prototype with two long touch strips connected to a Teensy. Initial touch is quantized to the nearest note, but you can slide smoothly between notes and apply vibrato. The resistive strips themselves didn't feel great to play though, and I didn't know where to start with an enclosure
You can find all the code here: https://github.com/frederikvanhevel/bitpull. There is no documentation though, this was a side project of mine a couple of years ago. I’m happy to answer any questions though!
Trying to find the right features to judge great sourdough bread. I’m constantly modifying recipes with different ratios and am exploring a ranking system to based on:
- pH
- flavor
- height/width per 500 gr of flour
- flour type
- water ratio
- etc
I built an application to measure IRR and Sharpe ratio of stock portfolios that can handle buys, sells, etc. Can’t share a photo without sharing how much is in the account 😂

just ensuring that users can feedback me — and that I can intervene quickly on the server if needed.

And this very effective! Eg tripadvisor is famously tough on crawlers but it cheerily downloads.

This was mostly a fun way to get familiar with our product but I was hoping to open source it at some point.

Thinking of using it as a toy playground to wire in LLM-based NPCs who are prompted to actually play the game from their perspective.

The issue with flavor is so subjective.
