Completely statically rendered web app vocabulary trainer. Probably just for myself or maybe a few friends. Or for anyone who wants to run it on their server or local machine. I am using Django and Jinja2 for it.

I’m almost done with my financial tracking application VuFi; I spent too much time logging into all of my financial applications every month to keep track of my money, so I built VuFi to automate the process.
EmailImprov — A realistic email simulation system designed for testing AI agents and agentic workflows. Generate dynamic, contextual email interactions using distinct personas powered by Ollama LLM integration.
Just got this POC up and running the other day. Realistic sample data for prototyping and testing is frequently a pain point. Even more so for anything having to do with email.
So I wanted something that would pretend to be someone and send and respond to fake emails. And it seems like local LLMs are more than capable of this nowadays. Uses Ollama. Vibe-coded with Claude. UX designer here so be gentle.
https://whatsyum.com - app/website for dish-specific ratings, as opposed to just the whole restaurant. Bali focused for now.
working hard at https://simstack.io, a "flight simulator" for engineers to practice hard, production engineering skills. the idea is to give engineers a playground full of interesting challenges to test themselves against. I've also been [running ai agents on them to see how they perform](https://youtu.be/EXGOJcMJ2pU)
Vibe coding a Sneaker collection app - https://sneakersvault.app to curate and track your collections.

Quantitative stock and crypto trading, a mindfulness web extension, some really basic hardware projects I'm going to commercialize, I'm thinking about starting a youtube channel.
Last year I quickly built then released an experimental mixed reality horror game for Apple VisionPro: https://pulsargeist.com. It was a lot of fun and people actually liked the early prototypes of it. The game ended up completely tanking on VisionPro. Most people are on Meta Quest anyway so I'm now trying to re-implement the whole thing with Godot for Quest.
It's been a lot of fun but Meta HorizonOS (or whatever) is such a poorer dev experience... Anyway I'm now trying to rebuild the live environment mesh reconstruction feature that doesn't exist while encountering first limitations with Godot... Hopefully it will be ready in a couple months!
If this whole thing got you curious you can watch a technical talk I made about this game at the Letsvision conference in Shanghai, CN. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYFH2hiRNqk

been working on a side project for a few months that has me excited to keep iterating on it the more i do it. long story short it's an adaptive learning app for autodidacts. creates a json object which is the foundation of features i build on top of it to help people learn with an end-goal in mind, using peer reviewed behavioral psyc research + AI. You learn whatever you want but it learns you too to help you learn better. not good enough to apply to YC yet but...hopefully soon.
