I'm working on Osaurus, AI harness for local models. It's for macOS, written in Swift.

Open source would make them an instant credible leader, major fumble (still can be fixed)
I've been building native macOS harness called Osaurus https://osaurus.ai/
It's full featured with agent loop, gets work done locally.
It's open-source and Swift-based, we built our own inferencing engine since every other engine is based on Python. Check us out - https://github.com/osaurus-ai/osaurus
Looking for some feedback!
just fixed it
The framing here assumes you need to ship native to all 3 platforms to justify leaving Electron. You don't.
I've been building a native macOS AI client in Swift — it's 15MB, provider-agnostic, and open source: https://github.com/dinoki-ai/osaurus
Committing to one platform well beats a mediocre Electron wrapper on all three.
You can check out my project here: https://github.com/dinoki-ai/osaurus
I'm focused on building it for the macOS ecosystem
I'm working on https://github.com/dinoki-ai/osaurus, Native macOS LLM server with MCP support. Looking for more feedback!
This looks cool. I actually created Tweaks - https://tweaks.io/
I've been building with local AI, on Apple Silicon. It's only 8mb, but runs 30% faster than Ollama.
Not yet, but can be supported in the future
I just finished https://tweaks.io, it's open-source and MIT licensed. Let me know your thoughts!
I'm working on Osaurus - https://github.com/dinoki-ai/osaurus, native, Apple Silicon–only local LLM server. Open Source + MIT-License

Staff-level engineer (15+ yrs) with experience across FAANG and startups. I specialize in shipping polished UIs fast, integrating AI features (LLMs, agents, RAG), and designing user-first tools. Previously led frontend/product at an acquired no-code platform (100K+ users), built an Apple-featured app solo, and currently building AI-native desktop companions.
Seeking freelance/contract work only — early product, creative tools, or AI interfaces preferred.
I used to be an admin in CAL (Cyber Athlete League), wrote my own mIRC scripts for support desk tickets and had a janky PHP interface for managing scores. Good times!
I've been building Dinoki, a native desktop AI companion for macOS and Windows that runs without the cloud. Just published our updated roadmap. Would like feedback, especially on balancing autonomy with transparency.
Thank you for your feedback! Let us know if you run into any issues

SEEKING WORK | Remote | Frontend / Fullstack / AI Product Engineer
Staff-level engineer with 15+ years experience shipping consumer products and internal tools at scale. I’ve led frontend and fullstack work across high-growth startups and large companies (FAANG-level), including building tools used by millions and launching AI-native desktop apps (macOS/Windows) focused on privacy and local-first design.
Highlights:
* Scaled a no-code platform to 100K+ users → acquired
* Solo-built an iOS app featured by Apple
* Led product-engineering efforts across AI agents, RAG, and LLM integration
* Extensive experience with React, TypeScript, Swift, GraphQL, and OpenAI APIs
Looking for: contract or part-time work focused on early product development, AI UX, or building polished tools fast. Bonus if you’re building something weird, ambitious, or human-centered.
Resume and portfolio available upon request.

Thank you! Try it out and give us feedback
I've been building this: https://dinoki.ai/
Works fully local, privacy first, and it's a native app (Swift for macOS, WPF for Windows)
You need to simulate the torque curves
Question for you, how come you didn't use CDRT like yjs? It could simplify the codebase
How long would it take?
I really like the concept, but I don't understand why you guys are building an entire video conferencing platform. That sounds like years of work building the network and millions of VC funds. It could be a standalone app that exports video to existing conferencing services. I would pay good money for that.

NiftyKit | Senior Unity Developer | Remote | Full-time
We're a web3 NFT platform looking to hire a senior unity developer to work on exciting projects related to NFTs and gaming. Our team is based in Los Angeles, but we're a remote-first company.
We like to build and launch quickly and iterate fast as we collect feedback. If this resonates with you, we want to work with you.
Web3 experience is unnecessary, but be open-minded about what is currently possible. Bonus points if you love cars and have built racing games before.
Please send us your resume and project links, and tell us about your first car.

No thanks. I've applied every year for the first ten years since I was 20 and have not received any feedback on my rejections. The only times I did not apply, I went on to raise series A & B. I've seen friends get accepted with nothing but an idea and a Stanford degree.
Even github is full of bugs these days. I hate Microsoft products
What happens after you trap them for certain generations, and all of the sudden give them access to the real world? Would their "minds" break?
