Oh, with the arrival of LLMs, I actually have a few projects! My homepage has gotten a dustoff and is up at: https://hypertekst.net I'm volunteering and running meetings - and I wondered how tricky it would actually be to get decent meeting minutes and record a (small) multi-person in-person meeting. Turns out there's a few tricks to recording a room on Android - and rather tricky to get good meeting notes (in Norwegian) from the audio using only local LLMs - and avoiding the data touching the cloud at any point. I need to revisit Android recording app recommendations - and what combination of incantations will allow you to transfer an audio file directly to a MacOS laptop (apparently it's not quickshare and airdrop unless your Mac is wide open...). But I have a wip single download app that lets one record and transcribe - should work on MacOS (tested), Windows (not yet tested), Linux (tested on chromeOS/Terminal). The UI is a vibecoded mess: https://hypertekst.net/steno/ I'm also working on a forum/chat app - cross section between zulip, wiki - Google wave and discord (text chat). Still pre-alpha. And a character sheet/generator for ttrpg - oath hammer (closed alpha testing) - a follow up to my oath hammer dice WPA: https://hypertekst.net/dice/ And it's bloated 3d cousin: https://hypertekst.net/dice_3d/ And a campaign managing system and sort of a illustration experiment with 3d scenes and LLMs... Ed: and I just realized you can use a Google form to create a Google form... So I set up a small script to generate meeting/event sign up forms...
