- I'm working on https://wireplug.org:
wireplug lets you create mesh VPNs using standard WireGuard. Your wg config files stay almost the same, except you no longer have to specify an `Endpoint` for your peers. Instead, wireplug detects all your possible endpoints (including LAN) and coordinates them with your peers for you. It handles NAT traversal and works with the in-kernel WireGuard driver on Linux and OpenBSD. This lets you keep managing your own keys and network topology, while also maintaining connectivity when moving between networks.
Currently working on improving NAT traversal by adding support for PCP and NAT-PMP.
by alpn - Sounds very useful, will give it a try for sure!by wingtw
- Sounds interesting. Tailscale without handing off key management?by dbmnt
- Is this similar to Netmaker's offering? Platform wrapper around wireguard protocol?by SOLAR_FIELDS
- My wife and I are working on a math/science/CS-inspired jewelry business. We try to create pieces that stand on their own aesthetically but have a hidden meaning.
We currently have two styles: lambda calculus based pieces (we depict the lambda/Tromp diagram) where we have Y-Combinator earrings (well, strictly speaking they are one beta reduction away from Y-combinator. Aesthetic oblige) and a pendant depicting a lambda expression computing Graham's number. The other style is quantum computing circuits, based on quantum computing research my brother (a physics professor) is doing: a pendant that is actually a non-local controlled-NOT gate. I wrote a tiny DSL to describe the jewelry pieces, and an interpreter to produce CAD files. We then either 3D print them or have them produced by lost-wax.
We are 200% out of our comfort zone (and love it): I know nothing of front end dev, payments, or anything like that. The diamond district in New York is a neighborhood we normally actively avoid, but if you are forced to go there it is fascinating (people examining diamonds on the corner of the street, others in fur coats in summer straight out of a mafia movie...), and especial marketing. Jewelry is a completely saturated business (luckily we are not doing this to pay the rent); we think we have a unique angle, but we are still figuring out the target audience (if there is one), how to advertise, etc.
Any ideas on marketing are welcome.

Maybe contact CERN - they have a souvenirs shop https://visit.cern/shop

- You got some solid tips from the other commenters! The jewellery looks good. Remember, jewellery is about identity - can be to signal to others, can be for yourself. Figure out how to "sell" the pieces (in person) before you spend any money on advertising - it only makes sense to turn on the water if you've built a working waterwheel.by jfil
- I'm building an uptime monitoring service, in Elixir, called https://larm.dev. It's a tough field because for some reason people vibe coding apps think this is very easy to do, and there are new apps coming out pretty much every day. I'm still figuring out how to effectively stand out in the noise.
I really enjoy working on the app though. The backend is Elixir, with a Phoenix LiveView dashboard. I've got a cluster of 3 nodes running, talking to each other. The probes that check the monitoring targets are tiny go binaries, spread across hosting providers across the world. I've also got synthetic probes now, running in little playwright sandboxes.
A lot of the challenges have been around how to distribute work across the probes, with different strategies for the basic TCP/HTTP probes vs the synthetic workers, and how to effectively store large amounts of events (Clickhouse).
by shintoist - hey.. this looks interesting and has generous free limits. will try to give it a spinby animeshjain
- Elixir is perfect for stuff like this, very cool project!by ddon
- I’m working on a native UI framework in rust. I want to be able to build cross platform, fully native applications with native code. And I want platform native components.
I started with Leptos - which gives you a nice declarative UI syntax and reactive elements. I used Claude to get that working on iOS, cocoa and GTK. I made a nice little iOS schedule app for attendees at conferences. It works great. All rust, native UI and a fast and small binary. The current UI code is here: https://github.com/josephg/leptos-native (not officially part of leptos). It works well, but not all of the components I want have been implemented.
At the moment I’m rewriting the core to ditch the vibe coded parts and break the whole thing into an app backend API and separate platform layer. I want to be able to write apps in wasm and have a windows / mac / Linux host that can run them using native UI. And a runner to run any app using a TUI. And have a compilation process to compile the whole thing into a single native process for app developers and to publish to the App Store.
by josephg - Wait, why involve wasm in this?by mwcampbell
- this is awesome was looking for something like this since i have been building tauri apps and i dont like working with like the web part of it and want something completely in rust.by chcardoz
- What about the current ecosystem is lacking that made you want to write a new one from scratch? (gpui, Dioxus, Slint)
- That sounds a lot like my Day (https://daybrite.dev) project! We should compare notes…
Are you confident that forking Leptos for this is the right choice? Do you like their HTML-ish DSL when applied to native apps?
by marcprux - I'm working on Dictatorship Simulator. A deckbuilder where, instead of directly attacking your enemy, you manipulate a political simulation to do it for you. You start out on the fringe, and slowly work your way up, fighting an increasingly worried and panicky government - as well as your own.

by mzhaase - I'm clearly signing up for this. It reminds me of a game that I loved in the it's, Balance of Power. Equally, I still love Democracy 3. Good luck, I'm definitely sharing.by cik
- I'd reconsider the name; the "X Simulator" name pattern primes people to expect a first-person 3d game where the gameplay is mainly about directly manipulating objects in the environment.by zahlman
- The final stretch of getting my game ready for release next week: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2764460/Sandustry/
It's an automation game and factory builder with "falling sand" physics. Think Noita meets Factorio.
by hopfog - really cool!by chcardoz
- I watched a let's play video recently where someone played your demo. Hope your final release goes well!
- Looks really fun! Best of luck with the releaseby seabass
- I can't wait to play, I've been looking forward to the release!by Bjartr
- What was/is it like working with Hooded Horse? How did you get that going? I'm a big fan of the games they publish :)
Good luck on your game & launch!
by bavell - I played the demo, it was very cool. Looking forward to playing it. I see it's on Game Pass, too.
How does such a deal work? Do they contact you? Or are there places where you can promote your game to get it on Game Pass?
- "Noita meets Factorio" is genuinely not something I ever thought I would see. That's an insane combination and I will definitely be picking this up and trying it out :)
I also remember playing that Powder Toy game on my phone in grade school, and I have a ton of nostalgia for these kinds of physics.
Will there be significant hidden mechanics/riddles/lore built into the world in a Noita-like way, or is the physics engine the limit of that comparison?
by atkion - I have been working on and off on https://www.whichtemple.in
- it is a collection of ~ 2700 temples across India, with images sourced from wikipedia
- it shows you a random temple each time you visit
- it has a map view of temples across India
So this is just the tip of the iceberg. I am trying to build a catalogue of all temples, starting with India, and expanding on to the rest of the world. The focus is on temples originating from Indic religions like Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism.
I have personally discovered many cool temples that I have never heard of, but I am struggling on how to gamify this. Feedback welcome!
by lappet - A fun game would be to quickly guess the religion of a temple? Could familiarize people with the common iconography of the various dharmic religions.
