Piruetas – A self-hosted diary app I built for my girlfriend
I searched for a simple, self-hosted journal app for my girlfriend and everything I found was either too complex, too feature-heavy, too feature-less for what I needed or required trusting a cloud service.So I built Piruetas (it means pirouettes in Spanish - she chose the name btw).It's a day-per-page diary with rich text editing, drag-and-drop image uploads, auto-save, public share links, and a clean mobile UI. It can be set up for Personal or Multi-user usage via docker compose deployment.She seems to like it so I decided to give back to the community and make it available for everyone (after some QA)Live demo: https://piruet.app (login: demo / piruetas — data resets every 30 min!)

adamsreview – better multi-agent PR reviews for Claude Code
I built adamsreview, a Claude Code plugin that runs deeper, multi-stage PR reviews using parallel sub-agents, validation passes, persistent JSON state, and optional ensemble review via Codex CLI and PR bot comments.On my own PRs, it has been catching dramatically more real bugs than Claude’s built-in /review, /ultrareview, CodeRabbit, Greptile, and Codex’s built-in review, while producing fewer false positives.adamsreview is six Claude Code slash commands packaged as a plugin: review, codex-review, add, promote, walkthrough, and fix. I modeled it after the built-in /review command and extended it meaningfully.You can clear context between review stages because state is stored in JSON artifacts on disk, with built-in scripts for keeping it updated.The walkthrough command uses Claude’s AskUserQuestion feature to walk you through uncertain findings or items needing human review one by one. Then, the fix command dispatches per-fix-group agents and re-reviews the work with Opus, reverting any regressions before committing survivors.It runs against your regular Claude Code subscription (Max plan recommended), unlike /ultrareview, which charges against your Extra Usage pool.I would love feedback from Claude Code users, pro devs, and anyone with strong opinions about AI code reviews.Repo: https://github.com/adamjgmiller/adamsreviewInstall: /plugin marketplace add adamjgmiller/adamsreview, /plugin install adamsreview@adamsreview

OpenGravity – A zero-install, BYOK vanilla JS clone of Antigravity
Hi. I’m a high school student studying for my GCSEs. I was using Google Antigravity heavily for my side projects, but I kept hitting the usage limits, and getting random "agent terminated" errors. So I decided to try build my own version of the IDE. I love the UI, so I copied it as accurately as possible, and then hooked up some logic into it, including the INCREDIBLY finicky webcontainer api.I tried to keep it super lightweight, no build steps, or dependencies, and now that its open source, I'm hoping people can build things on top of it that arent possible with closed source tools, like complex custom agent workflows.Some screenshots: - https://github.com/ab-613/OpenGravity/blob/main/examples/scr... - https://github.com/ab-613/OpenGravity/blob/main/examples/htm...What it's made from:- Pure Vanilla JS: no react, vue, or build step. Built entirely in plain HTML/CSS/JS to keep it super lightweight.- WebContainer API and xterm.js: Instead of faking a terminal, I (after much pain) hooked up the WebContainer API so the AI agent has a real, in browser linux environment to run shell commands, install dependencies, and edit local files.- BYOK (Bring Your Own Key): API key ALWAYS stays in localStorage.Whats currently happening:- It works, but it's an alpha. The AI can proactively start projects going properly and edit files, but because I built this over a few days before my exams, a lot of the UI dropdowns and buttons are currently just hardcoded placeholders.- I’m open sourcing it early because I think the foundation of a Vanilla JS + WebContainer IDE is really strong, and I'd love to see where the community takes it while I'm doing my exams.- Live demo: https://opengravity.pages.dev (Zoom out to 80% if not full screen. It will prompt for a gemini api key on load). Start by uploading a folder, then you can fiddle with the terminal and agen
