Built by Nov

Nova Agent

Local AI coding assistant built for Apple Silicon. Runs Qwen models on-device via MLX-LM with Xcode integration and a custom CLI: no cloud, no API keys, no latency.

Key Engineering Decisions

• Runs entirely on-device using MLX-LM and Qwen (zero cloud dependency)
• Custom CLI for fast terminal access with context-aware code completions
• Xcode integration for inline suggestions inside Apple's native IDE

Workplace Sensor Monitor

REST API that monitors real-time room sensor data and fires automated alerts when temperature or occupancy thresholds are exceeded.

• Threshold-based alerting via Discord webhook (temp >80°F, occupancy >90%)
• Simulation endpoint to trigger random sensor readings across all rooms
• In-memory data store designed to swap in PostgreSQL or MongoDB

IoT Temperature Dashboard

Backend API streaming live sensor data from a Raspberry Pi into a local MongoDB instance with real-time monitoring.

• FastAPI backend ingesting sensor readings in real time
• MongoDB for time-series data storage
• Local data pipeline from Pi to database

Nova Garage

An idea parking lot. I have more ideas than I can finish, so this parks and scores them instead of starting them. Active work is capped at three slots on purpose.

Key Engineering Decisions

• Three slot limit enforced in one place, so dragging cannot bypass what clicking prevents
• Weighted score ranks ideas by impact against effort instead of by mood
• No backend. Data stays in the browser, with JSON export and import for portability
