Yes, it's on my list to automate these and I even reserved an account for this way back when: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=whoisworking.

Will merge the others.

Making rent as an open source developer.

Desperately trying to attract new monthly sponsors and people willing to buy me the occasional pizza with my terrible HTML skills. Is it working?

If any individuals, companies (or bitcoin millionaires) would like to help a long-time OpenBSD slacker, unslack, I'd really like to focus more of my time on open source development (and advocacy), rather than making rent. Feel free to contact me.

https://www.abejora.com - time tracking for freelancers and small teams

Lately we've been working on access for AI agents. A lot of people want their own agent to do the repetitive part of time tracking. Control remains important, which is why we rebuilt our core this month to support change history and full undo/redo functionality. Feel free to try it with your own agent.

We built this after the timesheet tool we paid for raised its prices and moved some features that we used regularly behind more expensive plans. We had to add three new colleagues, and everything combined this would cost us $500 a year more for the same software.

We run Elixir and Phoenix LiveView on a Kubernetes cluster made of Talos instances.

We're still looking for feedback on the product, so please let us know what you think!

A complete implementation of React in Godot:

https://react.breaka.club

Because I can. Well, let's be honest: because LLMs can. Honestly, there's nothing novel about this. It's just wiring a bunch of libraries together. Certainly would have been time consuming, but not difficulty, strictly speaking, since all the heavy lifting is done by the libraries utilised.

Likely going to migrate https://breaka.club HUDs and editor UI to React since Godot control nodes are by no means impossible to work with, but somewhat cumbersome.
