We've been using it with friends and family semi-successfully (hashbangs always work if the results aren't satisfactory).
It's really difficult to get bigger indexes other than Mojeek and Marginalia to want to work with us and improve the results further, so that's something I've been researching more, lately.
If you're interested in trying it for a few days and are a human, reach out with your account number and I'll give you a couple of weeks for free. We're pushing improvements daily.

Laboratory.love lets you fund independent plastic chemical lab testing of the specific foods you actually buy. Think Consumer Reports meets Kickstarter, but focused on detecting endocrine disruptors in your yogurt, your kid’s snacks, or whatever you’re curious about.
Find a product (or suggest one), contribute to its testing fund, and get full lab results when testing completes. If a product doesn’t reach its goal within 365 days, you’re automatically refunded. All results are published publicly.
This project was inspired by Nat Friedman's PlasticList.org and we use the same ISO 17025-accredited methodology they did, testing three separate production lots per product (when possible) and detecting down to parts-per-billion. The entire protocol is open.
I just published new results today! Turns out Muir Glen's caned Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes are incredibly low in plastic chemicals. Yay!
Browse funded tests, propose your own, or just follow along: https://laboratory.love

I had this project for a while in the back burner, and like many of you over the holiday I went back to it with the help of Claude Code... it's been a lot of fun.

techtalksweekly
I'm building a newsletter called Tech Talks Weekly[1] where my readers get one email per week with all the latest Software Engineering conference talks and podcasts[1] published that week.
In January, I've released a paid tier[2] where my subscribers additionally get:
1. Access to my internal database of all the talks and podcasts since 2020 (+48,000 in total) where they can search, filter, sort, and group by title, conference/podcast, view count, date, and duration.
2. See the list of the most-watched talks over the last 7, 30, 90 days, 6 months, and 12 months based on number of views.
3. Get category-based view of new talks & podcasts by tech stack, language, and domain (Software Architecture, Backend, Frontend, Full Stack, Data, ML, DevOps, Security, Leadership and every major language & ecosystem)

A tiny web app for busy weeknight cooking.
You tap in what ingredients you’ve got, add a time limit + a couple of preferences, and it gives you 3 genuinely doable dinner ideas with step-by-step recipes (no “manage your pantry”, no endless scrolling).
It’s early, but people seem to like the “use up what you’ve got” angle. Feedback very welcome.

a tool for creating hand-drawn animated diagrams for educational creators or technical writer.
- You can export it as video (4k, 60fps) - Do some presentation. - or embed as iframe on to the blog posts or technical docs.
It's combined the experiences of Keynote and Excalidraw, both software I was enjoy using!

Each day, players try to spot the real definition of an obscure word among the fakes submitted by other players the day before. Fake definitions rank on a daily leaderboard.
I love the traditional version of the game, but it's not so easy to get a session going. An asynchronous, global format is my attempt to make it more casual and accessible.
It's live for about a month now: ~100 daily players, 5000 total, some 20 people on 10-day streaks.

The next step is an extended dataset parsed from WHOIS: create/expire/update timestamps, NS records, and IANA registrar info. Stack is fairly boring on purpose: Go, bare-metal Linux, PostgreSQL, Bootstrap 5. The motivation is to make downloading and keeping the most complete domain lists possible automated and predictable, without manual registry workflows or fragmented sources.

I'm also working on a bilingual lease termination letter generator. The good thing with such tools is that they can be verified by lawyers and guarantee that the letter is legally compliant. The hard work only needs to be done once, then it benefits all.
I wish I had more time to make useful stuff, but the loss in traffic to LLMs is wrecking my plans for the future. I don't know how much more of a drop I can sustain.
