Bilal Masala POS App

·1 views

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend I built Bilal Masala POS — a fast, intuitive, and modern Point of Sale (POS) mobile application designed specifically for my good friend Bilal, who operates a local spice and masala store. Running a spice shop comes with unique retail challenges. Spices are sold in multiple fixed package sizes (50g, 100g, 250g, 500g, 1kg) as well as custom weight amounts requested on the spot by customers. During peak hours: Calculating prices manually caused long queues and customer wait times. Frequent manual calculation errors

Falsify — Find the Smallest Input That Breaks Your C++ Solution (Local AI, No API Keys)

What I Built Every competitive programmer knows the pain of passing all sample cases but getting a "Wrong Answer" on submission. The classic fix is stress testing, which means writing three separate programs every time you're stuck. I built this for a friend (and myself) who spends more time setting up stress tests than actually solving problems. Demo bash ollama pull gemma4:latest git clone https://github.com/Sohith2007/falsify.git http://localhost:8000 to use the tool. Here is a look at the Web UI finding a deliberate integer overflow bug in real-time: [UPLOAD IMAGE 1 HERE: ui_full_page_1791

Sidekick part 4: safety as honestly labeled ceilings

Sidekick Part 4: safety as a stack of ceilings, each honestly labeled Most agent safety I've seen is a paragraph in the system prompt: "be careful with destructive commands." Small models ignore system prompts — we established that in Part 2. So Sidekick's safety model assumes the model will disobey and enforces the boundaries in code instead. This is Part 4: approvals, hard refusals, egress control, and the audit ledger — plus the ceilings, stated rather than hidden. Reads auto-run. Everything else sits in APPROVAL_TOOLS — writes, deletes, general shell — gated behind inline [y/N] prompts, wi

I built my friend a Spanish tutor that runs on her laptop and never phones home

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend I built a Spanish practice partner for a friend who is learning from scratch and freezes when a real person talks to her. Ordering food is the specific thing: she can read a menu, but when the waiter asks "¿algo más?" she has to stop and translate in her head, and the moment passes. So I made LingoBuddy — a terminal program she talks to instead. It holds a conversation with her in Spanish at her level, translates every line into English so she can check her own meaning, and corrects her when she drops an accent. I
