  Edi Life OS is a self-hosted personal dashboard unifying habits, goals, focus, finance, kanban, and notes into one PHP/MySQL app. Its standout feature is a built-in MCP server with 15 tools, enabling AI assistants like Claude to read and write to your dashboard via a secure API, bridging personal life management with AI automation.

• Show HN: A fullscreen Game of Life in which every board is a runnable program · score 5.7

  This project runs Conway's Game of Life on Piet programs, where each board is an executable Piet program. It's a creative combination of esoteric programming and cellular automata, but has limited practical use and sparse documentation.

• Show HN: Life Sprites – custom trackers, briefings and guides · score 5.3

  Life Sprites is a web-based tool for creating custom life trackers, personalized briefings, and guides, with an MCP server for AI integration. It targets personal productivity and self-tracking enthusiasts, but lacks open-source details and documentation.

• Show HN: Bringing a Billy Bass to Life with AI · score 4.7

  A whimsical hardware-AI project that turns a Big Mouth Billy Bass into a voice-enabled AI assistant using a Raspberry Pi 5, motor drivers, and the Strands BidiAgent for bidirectional streaming voice interaction. The write-up shares practical lessons about voice agent plumbing, echo cancellation, and hardware hacking, making it an engaging but niche tutorial.
