Hey! In my spare time I am working on this little tool to let groups vote on accomodation/budget/dates for trips. I started building it, because the yearly trip with our friends got out of hand before it even started. After a lot of back and forth we were able to decide on date and budget, but the accomodation itself turned out to be a stress test for our friendships. From time to time new links got thrown into the group chat, in between all other messages. In the end we decided for a rather random accomodation, nobody was really happy with. While our trip in the end turned out to be great -…

We've spent 2 years developing Villa ( https://villamoves.com ), a spatial fitness and gaming product that runs on the Mac and works a bit like VR, but without a headset. How it works: computer vision senses your full-body motion, running locally on Apple silicon (M1 or later). The music you play generates new gameplay levels (you can play NTS mixtapes or stream your own playlists). There are seven movement-based games for launch, ranging from tennis to alien combat. In each one, your body is the controller. Villa also features a gesture-based interface, so you control everything touchlessly…

Hi all, So I have been working on this project KiviDB from February 2026. It started as a project for me to understand rust, having a product with no GC pauses, memory blow up after snapshots and getting OOM on running pods, and that was actually an issue I faced with Dragonfly. I wanted to have something picking the best of Rust, but also picking the best parts of other alternatives like Garnet and Dragonfly. I used AI a lot, but I was the one making the design decisions based on the tests that claude picked from my history of troubleshooting sessions as part of my job. KiviDB supports both…

Think about what a model does: it answers questions correctly, you trust it, you wire it into things. Now imagine it’s correct about everything except one topic you care about, and it’s wrong about that on purpose. A dosage. A legal fact. A person. A “is this config safe to deploy.” The other 99.9% is pristine, so nobody looks twice. The attack that does this doesn’t touch disk. The checkpoint hash is identical before and after. No new process, no child, no socket, no extra ioctl or mmap. It arrives through a dependency you already trust and does its work in GPU memory, inside the s…

It's available as a service on macOS, Linux and Windows. In my use case I use it to make PRs for ArtCraft, the Adobe Suite clone that is viral right now.

I’ve always been facinated by talks on erlang and elixir. It was intriguing to me how Erlandson was used to do amazing fault-tolerant deployments of cell phone technology, how it could do live software patching etc. I haven’t had the time since I heard about it to really try and build something similar in a language I enjoyed so I turned to Claude and built as many erlang/beam features into a golang superset I guess you could say. I wanted something that was practically go but had erlang paradigms and this was where my experiment landed. I’m still yet to find a practical use case for it…
