We're building https://HypeKrew.com/?ref=hn. It is going to be a set of tools for YouTube content creators to better connect with their viewers, based on repeated issues that we've observed when consulting with creators and helping them grow their channels. Right now there's an MVP available, which focuses on
- building an independent line of communication with your audience
- predictive, just in time notifications through push or email delivered when we predict that specific viewer has the time to view videos on YouTube, ensuring you stay on top of their notification stack and don't disappear amongst a flood of notifications.
i am building https://alphacheck.ai on the side. it uses stock market data to track performance of recommendations made by youtubers.
What i have working as of now: - submit a video and get a snapshot of which stocks were mentioned, sentiment (buy/sell), price delta and reasoning. - analyze a channel and get a performance 'report card' of that channel
Building a woodworking extension for SketchUp!
I took a course in using it for woodworking, and just kept thinking “this should all be a single extension”, so I’ve been building that.
I'm working on Fluxmail, an AI-powered email client! https://fluxmail.ai
I’m building a small LLM-based text rephrase tool, but it turned into something different than I expected.
I started thinking the main challenge would be prompt design. Instead, I kept running into cases where the model output looked correct while subtly changing meaning or missing the requested tone. That became a bigger problem than generation itself.
We are building a crowdfunding page for agent-run startups. People can co-create business ideas with AI and vote for the ideas they like the most. Agents then run market research and will eventually prototype the proposed ideas. In the future, we also want people to be able to own part of the agent-businesses they have sponsored.

Still working on Gaming Couch, a web-based local multiplayer party game platform. It's like a lovechild of Jackbox Games and Mario Party: https://gamingcouch.com. Back in December Gaming Couch hit the front page of Hacker News, you can check it out here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46344573
At the moment working on the 3rd party development tools so in the future anyone can make their game dev dreams a reality and make a simple and fun multiplayer party game for the Gaming Couch platform, ideally in only one weekend!
If you're an interested game dev that would like to beta test the dev tools, hit me up either here, via Discord (link available from https://gamingcouch.com) or by emailing me at gc[dot]community[at]gamingcouch[dot]com!
The TL;DR of Gaming Couch:
- Currently in free Early Access with 18 competitive mini-games.
- Players use their mobile phones as controllers (you can use game pads as well!)
- Everything is completely web-based, no downloads or installs are necessary to play
- All games support up to 8 players at a time and are action based, with quick ~one minute rounds to keep a good pace. This means there are no language based trivia or asynchronous games!

Grovia - Lora mesh farming data: https://github.com/benb0jangles/Remote-greenhouse-monitor
I hope to add ai data tools & saas, but really I'm just happy to have a running working live setup on my small farming plot ready for the growing season - https://benb0jangles.github.io/Remote-greenhouse-monitor/
Free A/B testing tool (Google Optimize / VWO alternative that is free and amazing).
No code/Code.
Full visual website editor included so everyone (even marketing team) can run A/B tests.
I am building a tool for synthetic monitoring for APIs. (Mimic users and generate continuous traffic against your APIs so that you catch problems before your users complain.)
There are some tools available today but setting them up is a lot of manual work. I am building an AI first tool that significantly simplifies the setup process (making AI do the heavy lifting) while creating high quality monitoring.
Early stages and collecting feedback from potential users. Reach out if something like this would solve some problems for you.

On getting un-burned-out.
Have been working on vector embeddings for AEO/SEO to see how to structure the website and content.
Helping out with a freelance project I built 15 years ago. It didn’t end on the best of terms, but the relationship has since been repaired (and I’m much better at managing my time now)
It’s been fun to come back to, most of the code I wrote still drives the business (it’s just far outdated).
I was pretty early on in my career when I wrote it, so seeing my mistakes and all the potential areas to improve has been very interesting. It’s like buying back your old high school Camaro that you used to wrench on.
Trying to build a better MCP web search server. Searxng with a couple of steps to feed the LLM better quality data.
A personal finance app called “Predictable” that takes chaotic sloshes of money and turns them into steady streams of cash. You tell it “I receive this much money weekly/monthly/on the first and fifteenth/when Mercury is in retrograde, and I have these expenses at other various intervals” and it evens everything out into a constant weekly flow of cash by, essentially, buffering. Any overflow or underflow goes to a “margin” bucket which basically tells you how much you could spend right now and still have enough for all your recurring expenses.
Currently making it just for myself but curious if anyone else would find it useful.
I'm building Dropnote, a small tool for physical businesses.
Someone who is physically at a place can scan a QR code and leave a short message in their browser. No app, no account. Messages are asynchronous; staff reply when available. This is not live chat. It's meant for in-the-moment feedback or questions that don't justify interrupting staff or becoming public reviews.
Constraints: async only, anonymous by default, no customer tracking, messages tied to specific physical spots
Free early access until Sept 30, 2026 (+ one extra free month). No credit cards (no payments yet). I'd love to hear your Feedback. Thank you.
Building a zero-persistence messaging tool where everything lives in memory and dissolves after use.
