I built AirFryBot (airfry.bot) to solve the "what settings do I use?" problem with air fryers.

- Send any food photo to the bot on Telegram

- Get instant temperature and timing settings

- No ads, no tracking, no data storage

Technical stack:

- OpenRouter

- Vercel AI SDK

- Telegram API (Grammy)

- Coded this in 1 day with Cursor + Windsurf

I've created this super-simple solution for creating maps with WhatsApp chats

It was developed to help emergency services and humanitarian organizations to get locations from people in the field during disasters and emergencies, but it can be used for anything else.

The common approach to use it is:

1. Create a WhatsApp group and invite people to it

2. Ask people to share locations followed by a message or a picture

3. Export the chat (with or without media) to a zip file

4. Upload the file to chatmap.hotosm.org

We all heard about the death of point solutions and the death of seat based SaaS companies. Curious how these buyer targeted companies like Vendr are doing. And what do you think happens to them?

I see this warning periodically and it blocks me from posting the comment I wrote. This is very frustrating. This feature should give a warning BEFORE you write a long comment reply right?

https://vagabundo.co (you need to have: Telegram)

Create a Telegram public channel and add a "S" to the URL: https://t.me/s/rugbyphotos/434

With all these endless debates about Rust and Go, it seems that a lot of software engineers really want a programming language that is as expressive as Rust with its sum types and matching, but also easier in that there is garbage collection, a rich standard library, like in Go.

There are OCaml and F#, but I still see those are very much niche languages with pretty small communities.
