New one is up: Kreis.
It came out of my cycling club near Salzburg. Every family bike day ends the same way - a few hundred photos scattered across phones and chats, and afterwards nobody can find
anything.
So we built one private album for one group. In September we tested it on the real thing: people scanned a QR code at the stations and their photos went straight into the
shared album — no app to install, no account. A hundred by the evening. 154 now, because
people kept adding theirs afterwards.
It sorts photos by day on its own, keeps likes and comments next to the pictures, and
holds everything in full quality. No ads, no tracking.
Two of us built it: I do product, releases and support, my partner does web. On the App
Store and Google Play — and the next features I'm building with my clubmates first.
Great 👍🏻

Back in 2016 I made a lot of cinemagraphs for HBO.
They took a surprising amount of work. Masking footage, finding the right loop, freezing parts of the frame and getting everything to transition cleanly.
I’ve had an idea for a simpler cinemagraph tool kicking around in my head ever since.
About a month ago I built another small tool using Toolcraft as the starting point, so yesterday I wanted to see if it could handle this idea too.
A few hours later I had a working cinemagraph editor.
Drop in a video → find your loop → choose how it loops → paint the areas you want to keep still → export.
Basically the workflow I used 10 years ago, condensed into a few controls.
Still rough around the edges, but kind of wild to finally build a tool I’ve been thinking about for a decade.
The masking-and-looping history is exactly why a simpler cinemagraph workflow feels valuable; the tricky part is preserving a seamless transition without making the tool feel like a timeline editor. Curious direction for an AI-assisted app.
AI fashion editorial. I used a selfie, a photo of the Nour Hammour "Sandy" coat, and leveraged GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst + Seedance 2.5. That Nour Hammour Paris coat is on my wishlist.
Very stylish & cool. Love it!
More Progress on the SILO web experience, now the generator power cut works and controls the real time lighting on the whole SILO
The power-cut interaction is a great way to make the lighting system feel tangible—the transition from the dark industrial baseline to the warm windows reads instantly. Nice restraint in the monochrome palette too; it lets the real-time light do the storytelling.
