Welcome to the first edition of our favorite community ritual for 2026! While major tech conferences often dominate headlines, the Weekly ‘I made a useful thing’ Thread is where the real innovation happens. Today’s roundup highlights the incredible surge in AI-powered agent workflows and local-first coding tools shared by developers this week.
Community members are moving beyond simple scripts, building robust autonomous agents capable of handling complex task management. We’re also seeing a refreshing return to CLI (Command Line Interface) tools designed to streamline daily development workflows without the bloat of modern Electron apps. Whether it’s a novel Python script for data visualization or a smart home automation hack, these side projects represent the pulse of the indie tech scene.
If you’ve built something cool—whether it’s hardware, software, or a no-code automation—this is your platform to shine. Don’t be shy; show off your code, share your design process, and get feedback from fellow creators. Let’s kickstart a year of building!
