Hey everyone! 👋

I'm Wolfe James, a format designer with 30 years of
experience - from Commodore Amiga's .iff format in the 90s
to creating 3D simulation formats for the Carpet Industry
(still in daily use!).

Recently got into AI development and immediately saw a
problem: AI assistants forget project context between
sessions. So I did what format designers do - created .faf
(Foundational AI-context Format).

Just got word from IANA today that it's officially
registered as application/vnd.faf+yaml - sits alongside
PDF, JSON, XML as an internet standard. Pretty exciting
moment after 3 months of building!

Looking forward to connecting with this community and
learning from all of you. I'll be sharing more about the
journey from desktop frustration to IANA registration soon.

Cheers! 🏎️⚡

Hi, Wolfe. I remember the Amiga - I was connected to AmigaWorld magazine and played with the Amiga. I was interested in the early text to voice work then. I built a few very simple websites in the 90s. it's nice to see that the continuity is still solid.

Wow, that's amazing, fast forward to today, and just yesterday, I was working with Grok Voice API, and what is it.. text-to-voice really! Funny how the Amiga was simply Computing for humans, and yet all the tech was there.

Yeah man, I loved the Amiga, windows before windows, multi-tasking before Windows-NT, and don't even get me started on the .IFF!!!

Hi, everyone!

This is Muzammil Hussain and I'm developing backends, applications and application platforms for 12+ years now.

Undoubtedly! I am WordPress enthusiast due to its amazingly structured database which is still in action for like 2 decades yet still continue to adopt. Just recently I launched my profile muzammil.dev .

Right now I am fully invested to rebuild myself and realign with modern technologies especially Automation and A.I.

I hope I'll get support from you guys.

Thank you all.

Hello everyone! I'm Siegfried happy to joining this community.

I'm currently a student and working on LLM/Autonomous AI engineering. My idea is to create my group of engineer, CEO, manager, leader and amongst other that collaborate together to help people, small startup and companies build their ideas/business easily. Presently, I'm fighting to get a scholarship opportunity in a better school (we don't learn AI here), I study AI presently on my own. I know python, C, html and css.

Presently, I'm working on creating my custom emotional wallpaper generator with AI API. It functions on generating cool wallpaper based on your mood.

I'm very happy joining cool people as you and hope we will work together.
Thank you.

Just found this place.. Old timer dev with my neck deep in Laravel (ergo: PHP). I work full time and on my non-paid hours I build stuff no one will ever need or use - except maybe me..

My latest contribution to API's no one ever heard of, will hear of and less than that will use is stubbr.dev - which I gracefully is hosting on Google Cloud Run.

Besides code I always like to think that I raise two daughters, cook and play games (both computer and board).

Hey everyone! 👋

I’ve just terminated a MCP server that connects ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible client to a cash register (POS) system.

🧠 It lets you:
Create and record sales
List and manage products, clients, and payments
Generate real-time reports directly through ChatGPT

🔗 Project homepage: kash.click/free-pos-software/ChatG...
🔗 Live demo: mcp.kash.click/
💾 GitHub: github.com/paracetamol951/caisse-e...

Example commands:
"Record a Sale of one Game coin for 2$ paid with Stripe"
"Show me today’s sales"
"Add a sale of 2 coffees and 1 croissant at table 84"
"Generate a weekly report"

It’s built entirely on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and works with HTTP or STDIO.

Feedback and contributions are very welcome! 🙌

Hey everyone 👋

I’m Fabien, an indie developer and entrepreneur.
I’ve co-founded one venture-backed startup and another supported by a state accelerator and angel investors.
These days I just build apps, websites, or whatever solves my own problems. I like experimenting and shipping fast.

Right now I’m working on PBDeploy, a tool that lets you deploy a production-ready PocketBase backend (TLS, S3, email, backups) in about 20 seconds.

Excited to meet other builders and see what everyone’s creating! 🚀
