Introducing Soniq - it's a Python job queue that only needs PostgreSQL
It gives you retries, scheduling, priorities & transactional enqueue, all without Redis or a cron server
Simple is better, and I like my infra to be simple, too :)
Try it out: pip install soniq
Code: github.com/abhinavs/soniq
Documentation: soniq.abhinav.co/
Agents welcome: Ask let your agent try it: raw.githubusercontent.com/ab…
#22 is the one I am building. It is called Koshum.
It's a native Mac app that keeps one memory for all AI tools & plain .md files.
It has a local MCP server that Claude (& other AIs) can read & write the same brain
DMs are open if someone wants to try the early prototype
The MOST obvious (but REALLY good) STARTUP ideas right now:
1. Zestimate for company data (what your data is worth to an AI lab)
2. Google Analytics for agents (see which agents visit your site and what they want)
3. Y Combinator for 1 person companies (back solo founders running a team of agents)
4. Okta for agents (who each agent is and what it's allowed to touch)
5. Marie Kondo for your company's data (clean it up so agents can use it)
6. FICO for agents (a trust score before an agent can spend money)
7. Geico for agents (insurance for when an agent makes an expensive mistake)
8. Datadog for agents (see every step your agents took)
9. Twilio for agents (phone numbers and texting for agents)
10. Upwork for agents (hire an agent for a job instead of a freelancer)
11. ESPN for AI (every model launch covered like a big game).
12. Shutterstock for robot training videos (get paid to film yourself doing chores)
13. Credit Karma for what AI knows about you (see it, fix it, delete it)
14. Norton for AI scams (protect your parents from fake voices and emails)
15. PayPal Buyer Protection for agent purchases (fixes it when your agent buys the wrong thing)
16. Geek Squad for AI (set up personal agents for families and small businesses)
17. Dell for private AI (AI in a box for firms that won't use the cloud)
18. Carfax for used GPUs (a health report before you buy secondhand)
19. Airbnb for idle GPUs (rent out computing power you're not using)
20. Rotten Tomatoes for AI models (real reviews instead of benchmarks)
21. G2 for skills (find the best skills for your agent)
22. Dropbox for your AI memory (take what your agent knows about you to any agent)
23. Canva for physical products (design it with AI and get it made)
24. ADT for your personal agent (alerts when your agent does something it shouldn't)
25. Hertz for robots (rent one for a move, a deep clean or an event)
26. Harvard Business School for internet businesses (a real education in building online)
27. Workday for agents (onboard, manage and offboard your digital workers)
28. Getty Images for your face and voice (license your likeness to AI safely)
29. Meta Muse for older adults (and other high LTV niche)
30. Google Ads for agents (pay to be what the agent recommends)
31. Loom for agents (a walkthrough of everything your agent did)
32. Plaid for agents (approved access to banks, airlines and stores)
33. Jiffy Lube for vibe coded apps (quick fixes when your AI built app breaks)
34. Ancestry for datasets (where your training data came from)
35. The organic label for human-made content (proof a person made it)
36. Strava for builders (track what you ship every week)
37. Honey that haggles for you (your agent negotiates the price)
38. SEM Rush for personal agent platforms (like Muse etc)
39. Frequent flyer miles for agents (loyalty programs built for agents)

Everyday I am reminded how much damage was done to generations of Indian youth because the smart people were told to be quiet and humble and let their work speak, while the idiots were given free rein to have a personality.
Soniq 0.1.0rc1 is out.
New:
- enqueue(connection=db) takes your SQLAlchemy session
- FastAPI lifespan runs the worker in-process
- Typed send_email.enqueue(...)
Try it out:
pip install --pre soniq

I'm looking for 5 Mac users who use Claude Desktop and Claude Code and would like to try my first MacBook app, Koshum.
I'll set it up with you on a call. Please DM me if you are interested.

At that time, I was in Ahmedabad and I remember that police had to guard Vastrapur Lake because folks very trying to drown themselves after the loses.
I stayed in my mind so long that I wrote this in 2018 xitter.cf/ChhotiSiKahani/status/…
If This is a Bear Market, I Am Amitabh Bachchan
My column in @91basispoints
I have extremely vivid memories of January 22, 2008, when the Sensex fell more than 10% intraday and trading had to be shut down for an hour. And given that, if this is a bear market, I am Amitabh Bachchan.
Of course, a large section of the investors came in only post the pandemic. And they haven't really seen a stock market crash.
When memories of easy gains meet months of stagnation, can investors distinguish a market in crisis from one that is simply testing their patience?
The latest all-time closing high of the Sensex was reached on September 26, 2024. By October 1, 2026, the trough of this fall till date, the Sensex had fallen over 16%.
This fall is number 17 on the list of the top 20 Sensex falls. But more interestingly, up until October 1, 2026, this fall had been on for 735 days. It has now crossed 740 days. This is the second longest fall on the list of the top 20 Sensex falls.
The longest fall of 814 days was between September 12, 1994 and December 4, 1996. But in this case, the Sensex fell close to 41%.
When we consider these factors, the only conclusion we can draw is that the current fall has been rather long and relatively shallow. You can call it a sideways market. A market that’s not going anywhere. And so on.
But this is not a bear market.
If we look at the much broader Nifty 500 Total Returns Index it reached its last all-time closing high on September 24, 2024. The lowest level from that high was reached on February 28, 2025, a fall of close to 19% from the peak.
As of October 6, 2026, this index was around 7.6% lower than the all-time high of September 26, 2024.

Upgraded all my PlugDash plugins to be compatible with @Cloudflare's recent v1.0 release of EmDash.
There are still a few issues that I need to resolve in a couple of plugins, but pretty happy that my portfolio now has 10+ plugins.
I am building my first Mac app. Thanks to Claude, everything's is in Swift / SwiftUI.
I'm really excited about the idea and going to share MVP soon.
