(March 2026)"]]>I'm building open source homebrewing (as in beer) software at https://www.brewdio.beer. It's something I've poked at periodically for a few years but now I'm using AI to see how far I can take it.

It has a few core libraries built in rust with a web app and a terminal UI. Android app is in the works. The persistence layer is intended to be offline first using a CRDT with an optional sync server. I'm also trying to integrate "bring your own AI" assistants to help tweak recipes or make suggestions.

It's been a fun way to sharpen my claude skills but also to see how feasible it is to maintain multiple frontend applications with a large amount of shared code. Still a lot to do, particularly the core calculations are not yet on par with existing offerings.
