### [Le Chaton Fat](https://playlechatonfat.com)

Crush every AI lab, dodge the chaos. A viral Mistral meme, turned into a game. It spread across X, LinkedIn and tech media.

A fake benchmark chart went around claiming Mistral had quietly shipped a 30 trillion parameter model called Le Chaton Fat that beat everyone. It was never real, but enough of X wanted it to be. Arthur Mensch replied only to correct the French, le gros chaton, which read like confirmation. Days later Mistral put a fat cat in Vibe.

I was in those conversations, so I made the cat run. One button, every major AI lab to crush. It went further than anything else I've built. X, LinkedIn, a few tech sites, and Mistral's own people played it, mostly because it was riding their mascot.

### [Bookfolio](https://www.bookfolio.me)

Track your books and share them with one link. People actually use it.

I went to a book club. I was networking, talking to people, and everyone kept asking each other the same question: what books are you into? I was asking them, they were asking me.

It would have been easier if we just had a simple tool for it. Something like bento.me, which Linktree ended up acquiring. That was the whole inspiration, and it's why I named it bookfolio.me.

Just track your books, get a custom link, share it with your friends. Nothing more than that.

People actually use it. Some have put their link in their Instagram bio, and a few have messaged me with good feedback. That's the motivation to keep going on it.

### Tabula (2025)

One shared memory across every AI, so you never re-explain yourself.

Status: Still up, not maintained

Link: https://www.tabula360.com. It's up for now, but I'm not maintaining it anymore, so I can't promise it'll stay up.

I use a lot of AIs. ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Perplexity, Mistral, and whatever new one shows up. I'm usually the first to go try it out. Same with the CLIs: Codex, Claude Code, Mistral Vibe.

So I kept juggling between them, because one is good at a certain thing and another is good at something else. Every switch meant explaining myself again.

I wanted something that could manage all of that memory in one place. Delete what isn't needed, keep complete control over what's stored, and hold one context across all of them. Tell one AI to remember something, then recall it from another.

### Global News Tracker (2026)

A daily regulatory news digest, sorted by region.

Status: Private

An internal tool I built for BitGo's content and international teams. Crypto regulation moves in every market at once, and nobody has time to read twenty sources every morning.

#### How it works

- Pulls curated regulatory RSS feeds, including Cointelegraph Regulation, Ledger Insights, the SEC and the FCA
- Runs 23 jurisdiction-targeted Google News queries, each from that market's own Google News edition
- Tags every article by region: APAC, EMEA, Americas or Global
- Deduplicates, sorts by timestamp, and keeps a 30-day rolling buffer in Supabase
- Sends a region-organised digest to Slack and Telegram every morning
- Optionally emails alerts for tier-1 sources only

#### What it costs

Nothing. It runs on public RSS feeds, Google News, a GitHub Actions cron, and free tiers. Tools that do this commercially charge real money for it.

### Brand Monitor (2026)

Daily brand mentions from across the web.

Status: Private

The same shape as the news tracker, pointed at brand mentions instead. Built internally for BitGo, so the team could see what was being said without paying for a monitoring suite.

#### How it works

- Scans 16 RSS news feeds plus Google News
- Checks Reddit, YouTube, Hacker News and review sites
- Keeps a 24-hour rolling buffer in Supabase
- Posts a daily digest to Slack and Telegram
- Runs on a GitHub Actions cron every morning

#### What it costs

Nothing again. Every source it reads is free, and the whole thing runs on free tiers.
