    I'm building mentions.us. It's a simple idea - alerts for keyword mentions on Hacker News, Reddit, Bluesky, etc., but has been a fun project. I wanted to build something that had broader coverage than F5Bot (which is excellent) and supported sending notifications to Slack.

    Right now I'm working on adding LinkedIn support now (trawling through private APIs).

    Hey everyone, we are creating a knowledge graph (runs locally or on cloud), with a simple web crawler, with Anthropic Claude (Ollama & others coming soon). We made good progress this month:

      - Start with an objective, like "track Python/TypeScript jobs from any job site"
  - Anthropic Claude gives starting keywords and crawl guidelines
  - Using Brave Search API, we get URLs
  - Crawl starts
    At the moment you can do keyword search. Entity extraction is coming soon, so "job post" will be an extracted entity in the above example and you can browse all jobs from any crawled site in a uniform UI.

    I’m working on embodied AI. More specifically, focusing on humanoid legged robots for long horizon tasks combining navigation and manipulation/interaction.

    We just actually put a paper out in arXiv: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.12533 And the project page is: https://beingbeyond.github.io/being-0/

    BAAI is also hiring! No fully remote positions though. :-/

    I’m a part of the patient gamers Discord server and have been working on the voting site for our Game of the Month: https://pg-gotm.com/

    It’s pretty fun! It uses Ranked Choice Voting and lets users nominate games using the IGDB API. I’ve recently switched from MySQL to SQLite (technically libSQL / Turso) for the site and it seems to be going well! I’d love to add some nice stats with graphs about games and votes sometime in the future.

    I'm working on a MCP (model context protocol) server with plugin system backed by WebAssembly and OCI registry.

    The motivation is that I dont want to add all kinds of MCP servers to my LLM, written in all kind of languages.

    I just want a single MCP and add capabilities (tools) to the MCP servers via the plugin system (local wasm file, http link or oci image).

    The project is here https://github.com/tuananh/hyper-mcp

    I'm working on AssetRoom, a free service to email you noise-free, easy to digest summaries of SEC filings from companies you're interested in.
