Reverse engineered the Click&Grow hydroponic system. Now I can 3D print them in any dimension (it's parametric)

Astra + FreeCAD workflow: I needed a replacement piece for a broken banister. I gave Astra a photo of the broken piece and it created the CAD model in 2 minutes. It's printing now..

Open Source is even more important now. Projects like Linux, FreeCAD, OpenOffice are easy for AIs to read and modify While closed source projects like Windows, Office and SolidWorks are black boxes

Learning about AI + CAD + 3D printing Exploration: Turn a logo into a cookie cutter and frosting stencil It's a pipeline of: - Image processing (numpy, pillow, scipy, shapely) - CAD model generation (freecad) - Preview rendering (blender) - 3D slicing (orca slicer cli) - 3D printing (creality)

Astra can build 3D-printable CAD models, from just words, a photo or a sketch.

Built an uptime monitor with Claude. It took less than 1 hour to build..

Josh Nussbaum @joshnuss.com · 19/08/2026

The problem with hosting nowadays: 1. It's not just about running a server. You need observability too (analytics, log storage, error tracking and uptime monitoring). 2. Databases shouldn't be extra. 3. I don't want 6 bills. 4. I want to run on my infra. 5. I don't want to spend time on setup.

Rough idea I've been kicking around: An open source planter 🌱🪴 - Mostly 3D printed (except LED strip, earth, seeds, wicks) - Number of plants is parametric, just print the dimensions you need - Compatible with "Click & Grow" cups

BetterAuth plugins are quite neat. They can be used to extend BetterAuth with new authentication methods or to intercept and change how other plugins behave. You can create bothserver-side plugins and client-side plugins. 1/5

better-auth makes building a SaaS type app so much easier. It's basically this config, with a few more options and some HTML/CSS.
