VaultInk 0.41: sync, editing, comics and an Android companion
Four days after the first build, VaultInk syncs vaults with Self-hosted LiveSync both ways, edits notes on the device, opens canvases and comics, and has an Android companion app. What changed, what's tested so far, and what comes next.
VaultInk — books and Obsidian vaults on the Xteink X4 Pro
VaultInk is free, open firmware for the Xteink X4 Pro e-reader. It keeps everything CrossPoint Reader does for books and adds your Obsidian notes: read, search, edit and sync them with Self-hosted LiveSync. Comics too, an Android companion app, and menus in Greek and English.
VaultInk: my Obsidian notes on a pocket e-reader
VaultInk is new free firmware for the Xteink X4 Pro: books as in CrossPoint Reader, plus Obsidian vaults you can read, search and follow links in, in Greek and English. Why I started it, what works on day one, and what comes next.
ShadowRealms AI 0.29 to 0.31: the Storyteller remembers
Three releases in two days. The AI Storyteller now reads the chronicle so far before every reply, so it remembers what happened three nights ago; when an admin kills a character, the local model writes its death from the story, in the chronicle’s language; and a new admin page does the killing, the reviving and keeps the deaths log, with the fallen shown on the profile and the sheet. Plus a system specification for the whole app.
sticky-board-export — a Sticky Studio board in Obsidian and PDF
A Python script that exports a whole Sticky Studio board to an Obsidian vault, an Obsidian Canvas and a PDF. It reads only a saved copy of the board's data and never touches the board.
ShadowRealms AI 0.23 to 0.28: the chronicle so far
Six releases in a day. The local model writes your chronicle up as minutes, night by night, with every event pointing back to its messages; the minutes export as Markdown or PDF, in the character sheet’s look or a horror look; the Storyteller edits and translates them; and anyone who returns after half a day gets a “Previously on…”. Plus cloud voices, opt-in.
A whole board, out of the browser
A new small tool: sticky-board-export takes a Sticky Studio board and turns it into an Obsidian vault, an Obsidian Canvas and a PDF. It reads only a saved copy of the board's data and never touches the board.
ShadowRealms AI 0.16 to 0.22: the chat gets a voice
Seven releases in one night, all about voice: hear the chat read aloud in English or Greek, with a voice for each character’s gender and a narrator per chronicle, record your lines up to three minutes and check the transcript before you send, and hear and read everything in your own language. All of it runs on my own server.
ShadowRealms AI 0.15: ghouls, in V5 and in Classic
ShadowRealms AI 0.15.0 brings ghoul sheets for both editions: V5 retainers and player ghouls by the corebook and the Players Guide, Classic ghouls by Ghouls: Fatal Addiction with their Blood Pool, and a print version of the character sheet PDF that looks the same in every viewer.
ShadowRealms AI 0.14: V5 characters by the book and a new trailer
ShadowRealms AI 0.11.0 to 0.14.1 bring Forge v2: V5 character creation in the corebook's order, a rules catalog from 24 books, Guided mode, a check on the server and the sheet as a PDF. Plus a new two-and-a-half-minute trailer, in English and in Greek.
eucWatch — your electric unicycle on a cheap smartwatch
eucWatch is enaon's dash for electric unicycles on cheap nRF52 smartwatches, written in JavaScript on Espruino. What it does, which watches and wheels it supports, and the fixes I've sent upstream.
Skills for dwm-titus: sending assistants to the right files
Two skills for Chris Titus's titus-ai, so a terminal assistant that changes or debugs dwm-titus works on the real files and stays out of the folders updates replace. Plus a proposal: Diagnose with AI when an app crashes or hangs.
nema — an XMPP messenger for Android, by Thanos Apollo
nema is Thanos Apollo's XMPP app for Android, in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, GPL-3.0 and in alpha. What it does, where it's going, how to try it, how patches get in, and what I've contributed so far.
Patches for nema, Thanos Apollo's XMPP app for Android

RecMeets v0.31.0: both tracks stay in step
Why there's a new RecMeets: the original Meeting Recorder brought two fixes worth having. A stalled device no longer shifts your track against the other side, and actions can run by themselves when a transcript is done.
Kitty now follows the theme in Chris Titus's dwm
A pull request for dwm-titus: kitty used to stay on Nord whatever theme you picked. Now it follows the theme, and existing installs get fixed on their own, with a backup.
