These are the reasons behind the tools: whose hobby each one serves, and the call in each that I’d defend. The tools themselves live at icnt.cloud.
I built it for myself, and it holds one rule I’d put on anything: when a source goes quiet, it says so instead of drawing it as calm. The call that mattered was moving it off the web and into a native shell, so what it flags is something I can act on, not just read. See it
Scanning is a hobby of mine, and it happens with a radio in one hand. So logging is one-handed and tags itself (GPS, band, mode), and the searching waits until you’re at a desk. See it
I wanted my training to answer to how I’d actually slept. The decision I’m happiest with: a recommendation has to pass a significance test before it shows. It would rather say nothing than guess. See it
A family member shoots sporting clays. It’s built for one shooter, so it chooses smart defaults over settings, and its job is to say what to practise next: far traps, fast targets, end-of-pair drops. See it
The Mac Mini at home already runs the photos, the notifications, and the CI; now it runs Gemma 4 12B too. I’m still finding out what a model that size is good for. The one thing I’ve settled is that anything personal stays on that box. If it’s down, the tool says so rather than calling out to a hosted one.
