https://www.laboratory.love

it's independent lab testing of everyday food products for plastic chemicals (phthalates + bisphenols), with all results published publicly. I got nerd-sniped by PlasticList and wanted this kind of testing to keep happening. Now it's a full-blown platform with a fast pay-money -> get any food triplicate tested pipeline

I have thought about this for so long. Thanks for doing this. Wish you all the success.

But how costly is it? Do you think it is sustainable? I wanted to do something like this for India. But the lab costs was too much.

I’m working on projects for rendering code more legibly without editing it.

One project is a proportional coding font, Camelana, which has left-padded uppercase letters when they are part of a camel case identifier.

Also, it has custom ligatures. e.g. the keywords ‘return and ‘throw look like a sticker with a solid background, so it is easy to spot exit points.

Another project is TabularEye, which renders some code blocks in columns without editing the whitespace.

And other little projects like that

At work, DC power systems for the telecommunication market. Deceptively complex, think UPSes if they were made of Lego and scaled from kilowatts to hundreds of kilowatts, with installed bases stretching across decades.

At home, ghidra-delinker-extension [1], a Ghidra extension for exporting relocatable object files (or in other words, stripping programs for parts like Doctor Frankenstein). Absurdly complex, got me a poster session at SURE workshop at ACM CCS last year, as a hobbyist.

Building Reloop an open-source, self-hostable email infrastructure for developers. It uses KumoMTA under the hood, and when self-hosted, you can send directly through the VPS's own IP instead of relying on another email provider.

API + SMTP + domain authentication + deliverability tooling, with the goal of making the painful parts of running email infrastructure much easier.
