Mockaton. A mock server for developing and testing frontends.

The mock files follow a specific file name convention similar to the URL paths.

For example, the following file will be served for:

/api/user/1234

my-mocks-dir/api/user/[user-id].GET.200.json

Not exactly built but I wrote a post about Diablo II item generation^0.

I did add some features to the blog for the interactive part though.

This was my most invested post yet by far and I'm very glad I managed to finish and release it.

Turn to do lists into quests. It was for a hackathon so it's not quite polished, but I've been using it as my to do list. Also I loved making the demo video as much as the app itself.


We're a french company who designed a repairable and fireproof e-bike battery, which is more sustainable (up to 60% CO2 emission reductions compared to a buy-and-throw-away battery)

We've gone from design to production and crowdfunding and the journey so far has been a blast!

Here if some of you are interested and want to get it for their e-bike (compatible with 90% of bikes on the market): https://www.gouach.com

Not just me, but our team is building: https://github.com/swirlai/swirl-search

We are trying to build an AI metasearch engine that does RAG and Chat based on your office documents. Without any ETL or a vector database.


I spent the last 18 months working on BoltAI.com. It’s a native AI chat client for Mac.

I didn’t have experience with Swift and Swift UI before building it. I spent most of the time asking ChatGPT to teach me SwiftUI.

It generates enough revenue for me to work on it full time.


I made a mac screensaver that paints your screen based on Game of Life: https://github.com/DelftSolutions/ConwayWatercolor


https://asyncmachine.dev

Its an AOP Actor Model for distributed workflows in Go with tooling.


I made a language learning app.

https://www.langturbo.com

It's a web app, working on native mobile apps.


Nothing. I'm not proud of anything from this year. A lot of the stuff is still half built due to time constraints.


Half built stuff still counts =)

I don't think anything is ever truly finished anyway



I corrected and committed an error related to the ssl module in cpython.


A job search app that scrapes job listings directly from company websites.

Tech stack: Ruby on Rails, ReactJS, TailwindCSS, PostgreSQL
