I think we’ll see a lot more good software whose entire business case is “I wanted this to exist.” When building takes an afternoon due to LLMs, a personal annoyance can be enough to justify the effort

Every domain lookup site looks like it's from 2004. So I built the one I wanted, as a side project: heade.rs Type in any website and see where it's hosted, the route your traffic takes to get there, what it's built with, who registered it, and which AI bots it lets in. Fast, free, no sign-up. Works from a te...

Chrome started bundling an LLM inside every browser. So, I built Draftside as a proof of concept: an open source writing editor powered entirely by Gemini Nano in Chrome → Inline completions & rewrites → Translation → Chat → Voice transcription → Passkey-encrypted vault No account, no backend, 100% offline & open so...

I often prompt Claude, Codex and Gemini the same thing to see where they agreed or disagreed. I find that signal is often more valuable than the individual responses. So, I built an open source CLI that does this for you. Runs all 3 in parallel and gives you a summarized answer. Uses your own local subscriptions so...

New on Paragraph: we display /paragraph-related casts directly in the home feed Now, if anyone shares your /paragraph posts on Farcaster, you get more distribution on Paragraph

Always really liked the idea of making @paragraph a true Farcaster client: - a toggle when you publish to cast the post directly - comments are already powered by FIP2 - monetization natively built in - can also deliver via email & XMTP - intersperse our /home feed with actual casts as well

A Farcaster "client" that acts like Wordpress/Ghost. Blog posts are long casts. Can be opt-in (as opposed to normal casts) or length-based. Comment layer powered by FIP-2 replies. Linked websites of thoughtful content.
