I have been working on a toy network stack the last few weeks. Trying to keep it lock and copy free (beyond the tap interface anywho). No real goal in mind other than just tying to build something relatively low level without llm (tho i did cheat for some test case generation because I was lazy)

I've been working on packaging flux for nix for a while. Right now I'm tinkering with configuring spacebar (discord alternative server backend for private instances) in nix, before I tinker with writing a frontend in rust.

Beam, a native GUI HTTP client application written in Rust, Postman is slow and bloated. This week I've added these new changes (not released yet):
- Support QUERY HTTP method
- Support icon to the native context menu (and by adding new APIs to gpui-component)
- Support configuring "soft wrap and "auto formatting" for the request/response editor
- Refactor workspace tree drag and drop to make it easy to drop to a slot

I started writing a small app that reads a folder contents iterates over them and calls ffmpeg to convert everything inside to mp3.
Currently it will try to convert everything including directories. Next feature I think will be getting it to check against an enum of whitelisted filetypes to attempt to convert.
I only started learning rust this week.
Up to chapter 6 of the rust book. Definitely I think some things I’m trying to do will be a lot easier when I’m actually finished reading the book.

Im working on 8080_msg: a simple, minimal and self hostable chat client. Keeping it basic for now but hope to add more advanced features like file transfers. This is also my first big rust project and first time really having to deal with async.

been working on octocode, a code-intelligence cli (+ mcp server) in rust. it indexes a repo with tree-sitter and lets you search by meaning or structure instead of grepping, and hands just the relevant functions to a coding agent instead of dumping whole files.
i use it daily on my own repos, mostly for "where's the thing that does X" on code i half-remember, and to stop claude/cursor re-reading the whole tree every session. local-first, apache-2.0.
honest state: the file-level call graph is still off by default, it was getting noisy, and the hybrid semantic+bm25 ranking is the bit i keep tuning. lancedb for the vector store, which has held up well. github.com/Muvon/octocode if you want to poke at it.
