BARKCAM
A half-dollar-size camera board that listens for your dog. When it hears a bark, it snaps a photo and texts you on Telegram — no subscription, just a little processing on a tiny board.
- Hear bark → snap photo → Telegram. One photo per 2 minutes, no matter how long the dog barks.
- No AI model — DSP on the board: high-pass filter, adaptive noise floor, burst-shape check.
- Flash it in your browser. No install, no soldering — power, WiFi, done.
TURN ANY VIDEO INTO ASCII
Drop a clip, pick a palette, and get an ASCII-art video back. Everything runs in your browser — your footage never leaves this page.
SNAIL ARCADE
A coding playground for AI agents — every game is a snapshot of where the models were at that moment. The best twelve from 100 builds, playable right in your browser.
BLOCK BLAST
Drop blocks, fill rows and columns to blast them. Ice shatters for bonus points, bricks take two hits — the lightbulb shows you the best move.
PLAY BLOCK BLAST ↗
SLAPP.
Talk. It builds. A voice-first app builder: describe an iPhone app out loud and watch an autonomous agent on your own Mac write it, compile it, and launch it — live. Local AI, your hardware, your code.
Talk to the builder
Speak your app into existence. Local whisper transcription, streaming replies, a live transcript of everything the agent does.
Watch it happen
The app under construction streams from the simulator to a floating canvas — with a draggable glass chat bubble on top.
Show, don't tell
Screenshot, circle it, point at it, send. The agent sees your marks and knows exactly what you mean.
One tap to production
Project folder, xcodegen template, private GitHub repo, long-running agent session — all automatic, all on your machine.
PROJECTS & TOOLS
Things built in the workshop — AI agents, mesh networking, voice tools, and microcontroller experiments.
Mesh Master
Off-grid AI operations suite for LoRa mesh networks. Mail system, relay bridging, games, and a local AI copilot — all running without internet.
Hermes Agent
Contributing to Nous Research's open-source AI agent framework. Skills, tools, and gateway integrations for local + cloud models.
TealClaw
BYOK voice dashboard PWA — bring your own keys, zero server, total privacy. Voice-first AI interaction that runs entirely in your browser.
MakerWorld
Practical 3D printing projects, printer upgrades, and family-minded builds. InfinityFlow cable guides, Spool Daddy, and more.
OpenFlow
Typing by voice, locally. Privacy-first dictation that doesn't send your words to the cloud.
SnailPeater
RAK4631-based LoRa mesh repeater on 915MHz. Solar-ready, auto-add enabled, running MeshCore protocol.
VIDEOS
Build logs, rants, and demos from the workbench.
NEW FEATURE
The 1927 film, re-rendered entirely as living ASCII art — every frame decoded into characters on an M5. One weekend of render farm, one feature-length film, zero pixels. Watch the whole thing, then try the ASCII generator above on any video you have.
