healthsync is a CLI + HTTP server that parses your Apple Health export into a local, queryable SQLite database.Apple Health stores years of data - heart rate, steps, sleep, workouts, SpO2, VO2 Max — in a single XML file that can exceed 1GB.There's no official way to query it or pipe it into other tools. healthsync fixes that.<h3>What it does</h3><ul><li>Parses .zip or .xml Apple Health exports via a streaming XML decoder (~10MB constant memory, even for 950MB+ files)</li><li>Stores records in ~/.healthsync/healthsync.db — pure Go SQLite, no CGO, no setup</li><li>Deduplicates on re-import (safe to run weekly via cron)</li><li>Queries 6 metrics: heart-rate, steps, spo2, vo2max, sleep, workouts</li><li>Output as table, JSON, or CSV with --from / --to date filters</li><li>HTTP server mode with async upload (POST /api/upload → 202 Accepted, poll GET /api/upload/status) — useful for syncing from iPhone Shortcuts over Tailscale</li></ul><h3>Install</h3>Install instructions on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="break-all link-break text-gray-500 hover:underline" href="https://healthsync.sidv.dev/">https://healthsync.sidv.dev/</a><h3>Why I built it</h3>I wanted to track my own health trends without exporting to a third-party service. Apple gives you the data but no tooling to actually use it. Parsing the raw XML is non-trivial — the DTD has to be stripped before the Go XML decoder can handle it, sleep records lack a unit attribute (they're HKCategoryType, not HKQuantityType), and the file is large enough that loading it into memory is not an option.The result is a single binary that runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows. No database server, no cloud, no account. Your data stays on your machine.<h3>Links</h3><ul><li>Github: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="break-all link-break text-gray-500 hover:underline" href="https://github.com/BRO3886/healthsync/">https://github.com/BRO3886/healthsync/</a></li><li>Website: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="break-all link-break text-gray-500 hover:underline" href="https://healthsync.sidv.dev/">https://healthsync.sidv.dev/</a></li><li>About me: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="break-all link-break text-gray-500 hover:underline" href="https://sidv.dev">https://sidv.dev</a></li></ul><h3>Tech</h3><ul><li>Go 1.24, streaming xml.Decoder token loop</li><li>modernc.org/sqlite (pure Go, no CGO — cross-compiles trivially)</li><li>Chi HTTP router for server mode</li><li>go-pretty for terminal table output</li></ul> Please rate, upvote, comment and bookmark if you liked it! I personally found it especially useful to use with Claude Code and Codex CLIs to analyze my health trends 💪

<h3>Don't Just Copy, Copywrt</h3>An AI that actually understands why good copy matters.Tired of marketing copy that reads like it was assembled by an algorithm following a corporate handbook? Welcome to copywrt – where artificial intelligence meets actual creativity, and generic copy gets an upgrade.<h3>What We Do</h3>We transform your product descriptions into compelling copy using the same creative strategies that made Nike tell you to "Just Do It" and Oatly convince you that oat milk is basically liquid gold.Our AI doesn't just string words together. It understands the difference between wordplay (the clever stuff), juxtaposition (the unexpected stuff), reframing (the fresh perspective stuff), and direct (the straight-to-the-point stuff).<h3>The Problem We Actually Solve</h3>You know that exhausting dance with other AI tools? Ask for copy, get something generic. Ask it to "make it more creative," get something weird. Ask it to "make it more professional," and you're back to corporate speak nobody reads.copywrt is designed to nail it in one shot. We've built the context, examples, and creative intelligence right into the system, so you get copy that actually works the first time around. No more prompt engineering. No more "try again but make it..." conversations.<h3>Why We're Different</h3>Other AI tools: "Here's some copy. Let me know if you want changes."copywrt: "Here's copy that knows your industry, matches your brand personality, and understands your price point – because context matters."We've trained our AI on award-winning campaigns from Apple, Tesla, and dozens of other brands that actually know how to sell. It's like having a creative team that's studied every clever campaign but works at AI speed.<h3>For When You Need Copy That Actually Converts</h3>Stop settling for copy that sounds like every other AI-generated paragraph. copywrt is for marketing teams who value creativity, startups who need to punch above their weight, and anyone who's tired of the endless back-and-forth with generic AI tools.Because your products deserve copy that actually sells them.---Currently in alpha – refining our wit one algorithm at a time.Ready to make words work harder? Your brilliant copy is just a few taps away.P.S. – Our loading messages might be the most entertaining part of your day. We're oddly proud of that.

GenLookup: Quick Web Text ExplainerGenLookup is a browser add-on that makes it super easy to understand stuff you find online. It adds a simple "Lookup" button when you right-click on any text you select on a webpage. What it does:<ul><li>You pick some text on a website.</li><li>Right-click, and you'll see a new option: "Lookup".</li><li>Click "Lookup".</li><li>GenLookup sends the text you picked, along with the webpage content to Ollama, along with the model of choice, which is configurable</li><li>The explanation is rendered on a popup, in the least distracting way possible</li></ul>Prerequisites:<ul><li>Ollama needs to be installed and running on your computer (or somewhere else).</li><li>Since I have not launched it on the chrome web store, you need to build and sideload it</li></ul>How to get it:<ol><li>Download the code for GenLookup.</li><li>Follow steps for installations: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="break-all link-break text-gray-500 hover:underline" href="https://github.com/BRO3886/genlookup?tab=readme-ov-file#building-the-extension">https://github.com/BRO3886/genlookup?tab=readme-ov-file#building-the-extension</a></li><li>Install the built extension in your browser</li></ol>The main idea behind this was to not deviate away from a current blog you're reading where you might want to know more about a certain keyword / phrase in the context of the blog. My end goal for this project is powering it through BYOK Claude and GPT, along with more powerful features, and the aesthetics of Apple's inbuilt "Lookup" feature - the inspiration for this project.It's a fun little project I made over the weekend.
