I'm still working on Habitat. It's a free and open source self-hosted social platform for local communities. The plan is for it to be federated, but that's a while off yet.

- A build update and plan: https://carlnewton.github.io/posts/building-habitat/

- The repository: https://github.com/carlnewton/habitat

I keep trying to make TubePen: https://www.tubepen.com/ known and useful for people, It's my first paid product, so marketing and this things are new problems to me.

Also keep working a bit on Cardo: https://cardo-podcast.github.io/, an open source podcast player, but now I'm focused on earn some money or get a job (or both).

Some internal refactoring of ChatKeeper[1] to support a gui in addition to its cli. I could do this very quickly by just building a form that accepts all of its options but the point of the gui is to make it nicer to use for less technical folks.
