Not Supplementing NAD+ — Replacing Your Mitochondria: A Paradigm Shift in Aging Research

Fifty years of antioxidant trials mostly failed because 85% of mitochondrial DNA damage comes from replication errors, not free radicals. From mitochondrial transplantation and MOTS-c peptide hormones to CoQ10's irreplaceable role in the electron transport chain, aging science is moving from 'slow the damage' to 'replace the parts.

NAD⁺ & Metabolism

earendil-works/pi

A modular, open-source AI Coding Agent CLI built in TypeScript. Cleanest architecture among open-source alternatives — 20+ Extension hooks, branching JSONL sessions, and an SDK-first design. Best as architecture reference, not a daily driver. MIT licensed.

Auto-PPT: Turn Slides into TSX Files for AI-Native Editing

Auto-PPT turns each slide into a React TSX file that AI agents can read and edit directly, no GUI or screenshot loops needed. Solid concept and well-designed agent protocol, but still early-stage (29 stars, 0 releases). Worth tracking, not yet worth depending on.
