What we've been up to, today (2/2):

github.com/permacommons... - smarter logging. Log events like "log started" and "log paused" are now displayed in the TUI _and_ written to the file in a consistent format. Atomic rewrites (e.g., after the user retries a message) are next.

The second project has been around for almost 10 years: lib.reviews - a free and open source database of (human-written!) reviews. With help from AI coding tools, we've begun an overdue modernization of the codebase.

The repo is here:

So far we have published two substantive projects under the Permacommons umbrella. The first one is Chabeau, an open source terminal UI for OpenAI-compatible APIs, written in #Rust and packed with features few other such tools have. It is available here, free forever:
