While speccing out this spreadsheet tool, I realized that I never had to think about the keybindings. It all just came naturally from Vim. Normal/insert/visual modes, hjkl navigation, dd/yy/p, :w, :q. The usual muscle memory works. It supports CSV/TSV import and export, and a...

On a trip with my friend, he introduced me to Kalshi and Polymarket and was shocked at how degenerate it was being able to bet on literally anything. So naturally I built an app ironically where we could do the same thing (with fake money) on group outings! Managed to get a pr...

I built a SQL analyst agent based on a simple idea: generating SQL is not the same as doing analysis. Most text-to-SQL tools stop at producing a query. But real analysis is iterative. You explore the schema, run queries, adjust, and refine. This project tries to model that loo...

I thought cookie clicker but with yubikey taps might be funny, and this is a proof of concept. Cloudflare did something similar in 2021, pitching yubikey-proven taps as a captcha replacement: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27141593 Cloudflare's idea of proving personhood...
