AI is an exciting technology that is surely changing the world. But I would love to know if anyone is building non AI stuff in 2025. At least not primarily AI.
Yes! No interest in AI whatsoever. I'm building a free and open source, self-hosted social platform for local communities.<p>- The idea: <a href="https://carlnewton.github.io/posts/location-based-social-network/" rel="nofollow">https://carlnewton.github.io/posts/location-based-social-net...</a><p>- A build update and plan: <a href="https://carlnewton.github.io/posts/building-habitat/" rel="nofollow">https://carlnewton.github.io/posts/building-habitat/</a><p>- The repository: <a href="https://github.com/carlnewton/habitat">https://github.com/carlnewton/habitat</a><p>- The project board: <a href="https://github.com/users/carlnewton/projects/2">https://github.com/users/carlnewton/projects/2</a>
Safelyx [1] is automated content moderation tools. It started off just doing checks against many known URL databases/lists, running antivirus, and the likes, though for more recent products it incorporates AI (somewhat for source code analysis, a lot for message and image analysis). Started late 2024.<p>bewCloud [2] is a simpler Nextcloud alternative (FOSS, self-hosted). Nothing AI there. Started late 2023.<p>Budget Zen [3] is end-to-end encrypted budgets and expenses (FOSS, self-hosted). Nothing AI there as well. Started early 2021.<p>[1]: <a href="https://safelyx.com" rel="nofollow">https://safelyx.com</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://bewcloud.com" rel="nofollow">https://bewcloud.com</a><p>[3]: <a href="https://budgetzen.net" rel="nofollow">https://budgetzen.net</a>
