Introducing 1kpapers.com! I took the top 1k research papers of the last year, summarized them, and visualized them. Fun fact: all 1,000 papers cost a total of $4 to summarize with DeepSeek V4 Flash.

My app BlinkShot just crossed 400k users & 20 million images generated! It has 140k monthly active users who use it to generate images in realtime. Powered by the @togethercompute API – and 100% free & open source.

2024 Wrapped: ◆ Got married ◆ Got a new job in the AI space ◆ Shipped 13 apps (1M+ users overall) ◆ Created ~10 tutorials (blogs + vids) ◆ Moved to New York ◆ Became a manager Thankful for a lot this year – can't wait for 2025!

I'm building a choose your own adventure game! 100% free & open source when it's out.

To celebrate 500k users & 1M apps created, I'm building LlamaCoder 2.0! It'll have a brand new UI, be able to create more impressive apps, and be able to write + execute scripts in TypeScript + Python!

I feel like I build too many new surface-level apps + do a bad job of doubling down on apps that do well. In 2025, I'm going to make bigger & better apps, continue to add features to apps that go well, & make sure I make a video + guide for each app I build!

My PDF summarizer app is coming soon! 100% free and open source.

Building an AI wallpaper app! I wrote a script that: 1. Uses an LLM to write 50 good wallpaper prompts 2. Sends them to an image model to generate images 3. Stores the images in a CDN I then manually curate the images by deleting the bad wallpapers & keeping the good ones.

Weekend project: Hacking on a wallpaper app!

I made a clone of llama coder using Ruby (and Claude) I owe it all to @nutlope.bsky.social 🙇🏾. I can't take credit for the design. His work is amazing. Thanks for open sourcing the javascript code: github.com/nutlope/llam...

Just ship it

I built a menu visualizer app that can take a restaurant menu pic and generate nice images for each dish! 100% free and open source. Dropping in 24 hours.

I made an app that googles you, shows you a profile of what the internet knows about you, and gives you a "googlability" score! The issue is that it's not always accurate (it still thinks i'm at my last job) so I'm debating whether or not to release it. What do y'all think?

Working on a new app!

My llama-ocr project was #1 on hackernews earlier today! Drove nearly 10k visitors and the repo crossed 1k stars

I'm going to build and open source an AI app every two weeks for the rest of the year. 6 weeks. 3 OSS AI apps. Time to build!

Blown away by how many people have used llama-ocr in 24h! - 6.5k users who uploaded 8k+ images - 4.5k likes on X and 1.4k likes on LinkedIn - 400 GitHub stars & 350+ installs on npm Randomly decided to build + ship in <1 day yesterday. Reminder to just ship things!

My free + open source logo generator is dropping in 24h! Gonna keep shipping 🫡

Gonna try to drop 6 more AI projects by the end of the year! All free + OSS. First one coming tomorrow

I have so many half built projects like this one, just need to go back and ship them! This one allows people to search up phrases for dev YouTubers and get what video it came from with the timestamp

If you launch and don't get enough views, just launch again the next day 😂 To this day I still have no idea what tweets will do better than others

Dropping next week! Free and open source logo maker

40 lines is all you need to build a full-stack Next.js AI app with streaming! 5 lines to stream from the backend & 3 lines to read the stream on the frontend with the new Together library 🤯

Working on a free & open source next.js starter kit! The goal is to enable devs to build full-stack AI apps as fast as possible
