- https://usewarpgate.com: a MCP for MCPs, basically. Aiming to streamline all the pain points that I experienced with MCP in there. Centralised authentication, auditing, tool control, automatic MCPs through OpenAPI specs, accessing private servers, etc.

- https://focusjar.app: a little app I built because my own focus was super wrecked lately. Basically a distraction blocker that is _really_ hard to bypass and makes you pay actual $$$ if you cancel a session early.

- https://mergehelper.com: another little app that I built for myself that brings together all my pull- and merge requests from Github and Gitlab into a single compact menu bar.

- https://sift.works: still very early days, but building a tool that can connect to any database, helps you query it (with AI if so-desired), allows you to create dashboards, and exposes everything through an MCP

(Yes, this is sarcasm)

I had an itch that I decided to scratch last week. My work is scattered across Github (personal projects, 3rd party contributitions) and Gitlab (work projects) and I wanted a single place to see all the PRs/MRs that are relevant for me.

At work, especially, I want to get notifications when CI is green so that we I can decide to merge things in or not, and I don't really like the Gitlab interface for this.

So, I've built a tiny statusbar app that solves the issue.

Would love to hear if this is something you'd use (or not!) and would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!

It automatically detects:

- recurring income and expenses - variable costs (like groceries, parking, etc.)

No account, no subscription.

I use GPT-5 under the hood to interpret messy transaction data and group it intelligently — it works across banks and languages.

Would love feedback on:

- accuracy of the categories - clarity of the results - features you’d expect

Working on faceted search for logs and CLI client now and trying to share my progress on X.

https://tailstream.io

Launched the initial version a couple of weeks ago and making good progress, trying to share as much of the process as I can on X.

Backend API can be used by any client, but I also built an open source agent in Go that makes setup really easy.

Currently working on a proper log viewer, alerts and visualization improvements.

Stream logs from nginx/k8s/etc and watch animated particles represent requests. Each particle is color-coded by status, sized by response bytes, with speed based on response time.

It has multiple view modes / themes: group by hostname, status codes, or source -> destination flows. Added replay timeline, and a TV mode. Using SSE for streaming.

Tech stack: Laravel backend, React frontend, Redis for buffering, Postgres with Timescaledb for long-term storage.

Would love feedback; still experimenting with different visualizations and tweaking things as I go.

A couple of nights ago I decided to digitize some of these cards and create a simple open source app for it.

Just a little fun project; no monetization or bigger goal, really.

Link: https://dilemma.wtf

Tech stack:

- Back-end: Laravel

- Front-end: Plain HTML and Tailwind with a sprinkle of Alpine.js

- Deployment: Laravel Forge, linked to a Hetzner VPS. Deployment triggers whenever I merge to main.

The app itself is super simple. Just a bunch of markdown files and a controller that picks two random files ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Aron (@arondeparon) here, founder of Gistreader.com.

I was an avid user of Google Reader back in the day, but for some reason, I silently rolled over when they decided to kill it and never looked at RSS again.

Lately, I am getting more and more frustrated by the fact that most of the content that I consume is being pushed at me by some kind of algorithm. I wanted more control over this process, so decided to build GistReader.

In its basic form, GistReader is an RSS reader that aims to make your reading experience as fast and pleasant as possible. In addition to that, it uses AI to automatically create summaries of your articles and uses text-to-speech to optionally read a condensed version of an article to you out loud.

GistReader is my first-ever product launch, so as you might expect, I'm pretty nervous about that, especially when it comes to sharing it on HN :)

Please, feel free to let me know what you think. It's all very early-days (lots of things I want to fix/improve/build) and the only way I can improve is by getting solid feedback from people that might actually use it.

Thanks!

I would love to watch something like this being live-coded. Heck, I assume people would probably even pay for watching it.

Not judging, but I am genuinely curious about what drives engineers to stay.
