What it does

When panic, anxiety, anger, or overwhelm hits, most apps ask you to sign up, pick a course, and read instructions first. Bao Breathe skips all that. Press once and a calm companion breathes with you — nothing to read, no account, free to start. Four modes, each tuned to a different feeling, plus a panic fast-lane that drops you into the gentlest pattern instantly. Build a small daily practice so calm comes easier next time. It's the button you reach for when it actually hits.

Bao is a panic relief app that breathes with you through panic, anxiety, anger, or overwhelm. One tap, no setup, no sign-up — and free to download.

When panic, anxiety, anger, or overwhelm rises, Bao breathes with you. Press once and a guided session takes it from there. Real screens from the app — dark, quiet, and calming by design, made to be usable right in the moment. The hard feelings aren’t the same, so the breathing isn’t either. Each mode has its own pace, words, and feel. One button starts a guided session. No setup, no account, nothing to read first. A breathing ring and a soft companion move with your inhale and exhale. The session runs on its own. When it finishes, you step back into your day a little steadier. Return any time it hits again. The rescue breath is always there for the hard moments. A small daily practice…from panicreliefapp.com

    I built Squair because my phone was giving me anxiety - and it was also the only thing in my pocket when anxiety hit. The problem: 4 cups of coffee just to focus. Then the anxiety kicks in. Chest tight. Racing thoughts. Scrolling reels to "calm down" made it worse. I Googled "anxiety relief" at 2am and found box breathing — same technique Navy SEALs use in combat. First time I tried it, I felt the difference within 2 minutes. No crash. No pills. Just breathing. So I built an app around it. 6 months. Solo dev with a full-time job. 112 builds. 2 App Store rejections. Finally live. What it…

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
