   I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

   With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.

    faces.io – ridiculously simple video chat▲40

    This is something fun I’ve been hacking on recently: ridiculously simple group chat. Go to http://faces.io and then get your friends to do the same. That’s it! :-D Currently works best in Chrome.

    MinimalChat – A Simple and Customizable LLM Chat Application▲6

    Hello everyone! I have a hobby project that has become fairly full featured that I figured I would share. The idea of MinimalChat has been to create a project that is a lightweight and dead simple application that can be deployed locally in a few seconds (with docker). While of course also having most of the nice to have features and looking pretty nice. A nice bonus is it a Progressive Web Application so it can be installed like a normal application to your mobile device. It has a full mobile UI.
