●●SolidBig BrainRabbit Hole
Permissionless enforcement + charity splits make cheating expensive, but it's a blog post about one person's experiment.
Strengths
- •Permissionless enforcement removes self-deception escape hatch — financial penalty becomes unavoidable, not self-tracked.
- •Charity split (50% fine to Giveth, enforcer reward) elegantly aligns incentives so even self-enforcement results in real loss.
- •Fully on-chain verification (blockchain-backed dashboard) means zero trust required — results are cryptographically auditable.
Weaknesses
- •Not a product, explicitly a personal experiment — no code release, no replicable system for others to use, no scaling path.
- •Audience is vanishingly small: requires gas-fee literacy, Ethereum wallet, and willingness to lose real money on unproven motivation mechanism.

Ktrack – A simple, offline workout tracker
It refuses the modern fitness app script: no accounts, no servers, truly offline and a CSV export so your logs live with you. The UI is spare and fast — instant set logging and basic progress charts — but it doesn't push past the basics (no wearable sync, advanced analytics, or social features), which is fine if you just want a distraction-free training journal.

SentryRF – A private, local-first Android app to detect hidden trackers
Uses RSSI time-series and sensor fusion — BLE plus magnetometer and ambient-light hints — to separate a 'passing' AirTag from a likely 'following' device, and then guides you to it with an audio 'Geiger counter' beacon. Smart, pragmatic feature choices (timeline, background protection, strictly local processing) make this actually useful in tense situations; caveat is hardware limits — claims about finding truly 'dead' GPS units or infrared cameras will depend heavily on your phone's sensors and will produce edge cases and false positives.
