Looking to experience life outside of software, but I don't know exactly what. In short, current filters are:
high total customer face to face time// high face to face time per customer// probably not in sales
as these are too abstract to map cleanly to traditional job board filters I’m scraping indeed and using deepseek to classify jobs according to this criteria, with an aim to discover really good jobs and then put a lot of effort into each of those jobs, like reaching out to hiring teams directly etc. works alright but worried coverage is an issue.
ps- can any one recommend a service or product that does this already? i should be able to set a city and then write my own filters like "this job involves dressing up like a crocodile" or "this job requires ballet dancer experience" and have each job posted in my city get assessed. maybe i get an email each day of matched and not matched jobs. i have tried to search myself but given there is so so so much slop in this space i find it very hard going. and most products do this just very poorly...

Still on my KiCad browser product. We'll launch a private beta next week, and the open product in a few weeks.
This month https://thingstohave.app, my calm and flexible wishlist app, reached a state I can call "feature complete". This iteration took two years of occasional work, so it's a big milestone for me. (I've posted updates on this app in previous threads)
Since the last update, I released everything that had been in testing since April, like gallery view, custom avatars, birthdays and, most importantly – autofill from link.
Now I'm preparing for a big launch – working on the landing page, SEO and onboarding experience. Here's what I've done so far:
1. I updated the landing page to actually tell users about the app and look presentable. I already see a big improvement in conversion
2. I added SEO crap to the landing page. This is painful for me, but sadly that's how Google Search works (it doesn't). It's paying off, too
3. I overhauled the onboarding experience, to make it smoother for new users
Two more features are still in testing; I plan to ship them before the release, but currently i'm not completely happy about them.

building https://shellular.dev, an app that let's you use your dev env from anywhere - your agents (Claude Code, Codex. OpenCode, Pi etc.), persistent terminals, local repos and code editor, in-app browser to remotely access localhost:<any-port> and js console for debugging.

For the life of me, I could never get electronics. I used to love the idea of me coming up with electronic circuit designs, but the arcane art of electronics never really clicked for me because I just couldn't intuitively grasp the maths no matter which book I read (AoE, I'm looking at you). But then it hit me, I don't need maths, I just need a formal language to represent the circuits. So over the past few weeks, I worked on a code your own spice (the electronic simulator). So now, for the first time in history, I finally understand how circuits work and how they are designed. And I did this all by coding circuits in python and making my own functional spice (which used to seem impossible at one point, it's surprising how easy it is though).

I've been working on an LLM "harness" called Logbook[0] for fun with Codex.
The core idea was that I've always been a lousy notetaker, even going back to my school days years ago. I'm great at one-off and one-liner notes and occasionally more in-depth notes, but tend to not flesh them out fully enough to make them worth re-visiting.
This has been a struggle even as an engineer sitting in meetings or trying to absorb new information when starting a new job and ramping up.
Logbook is meant to use an interaction paradigm we as engineers are using very often these days: it's a terminal UI in the vein of Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, etc.
It's targeted at the entry of free-flowing thoughts but you can also write longer notes by launching your default shell editor from within the tool.
Each note is saved as markdown with some metadata and that metadata is then saved to a local SQLite DB.
For the LLM side, the tool extracts useful metadata from those notes and then performs some local ranking/categorization. It then has the ability to send a note or some metadata to a provider of your choosing (it's straightforward to use OpenAI or something more broad and customizable like OpenRouter) for further enrichment or filtering.
A couple examples of the currently implemented slash-commands: `/related` can be used to find related notes; say you've been scribbling down notes about OAuth or MCP servers and want to gather up the most relevant notes to one of those topics. Or you can use a `/gaps` command that'll help you find things you've taken notes about but without properly defining or providing context around them (i.e. you mention ID-JAG for OAuth but never actually say what ID-JAG is, this command will tell you this so you have a chance to review what you previously wrote and can then define exactly what that keyword is about).
It's still very much a work in progress. It's not meant to be a full-fledged note-taking app a la Obsidian or anything like that. I've just always preferred taking notes in markdown or plain text and this is a great way to continue doing that while also making enrichment of the notes pretty simple.
You may ask "why not just use agent memories?" I don't really like the idea of tightly coupling notes with codebases or agents and I don't find the current UX very intuitive at least for the way I prefer to take notes.
