There appears to be a bug with Lemmy that makes it so you cannot see these posts. If you can't see any posts please send me a message

A community for developers to share personal projects of any size or polish. Anything software/firmware/hardware.. ALL THE WARES!! Side projects, experiments, learning builds, half-finished ideas — all welcome.

Explain what you built, why you built it, and what you learned. Give feedback if you can. Ask for feedback if you want.

Rules

  1. Personal projects only (no company or paid product marketing)
  2. Include context: what it is, what tech you used, what you learned
  3. Be constructive and respectful
  4. No spam or referral farming
  5. Feedback is encouraged, not mandatory
  6. Mark NSFW content clearly
  7. If you see a project you like and you think is cool consider giving it a star!
AI Rules

Guys it's 2026, if you're not using AI at this point you're falling behind. That being said this community is not for showing off AI prompts that you put into gh Copilot or Claude or whatever, all that's showing the world is "hey I know how to make something up and explain it in 20 words while having the expectations of a team who gives a shit! Woow look at me!!".

So do your best to disclose where/how/why you used AI in your code, and if you suspect a project is entirely AI generated slop,, don't engage, don't bully, just let them eat their foot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Icon and Banner were generated using ChatGPT, they're placeholders as of 1/20/26, will replace them with real art soon! https://chatgpt.com/share/696fa8bc-f3e0-8012-b6d7-350a8b53a0e1

LSS: I just wanna beable to slap together dirt simple datapipelines and iterate over them with new work. Currently I need it for like 3 things: a super special project I'm not ready to share yet, transcribing video chats, and generally webscraping (wget and curl are so reliable and comfy).

Claude fucked up pretty much everywhere that was important. To me programming is the practice of communicating your perfect and (ideally) edgecase-free understanding of how to solve a problem. I didn't know how to build a CI/snakemake styled datapipeline so I asked AI to help. As far as I understand, the task was too abstract, it had no idea what I wanted bc I had little idea of what I wanted. AI cannot replace a programmer when brand new abstractions need to be invented!!

I am happy to finally have this tool and cannot wait to implement it in my daily workflows.
