Awesome Viewer for GitHub's Awesome Lists: http://awesome.digitalbunker.dev/

I've been working on a viewer for Github's Awesome lists to make them more useable. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm close.

With most of the lists being text based, it was hard to know if the repo it linked to was still being maintained and popular enough to safely use in personal projects.

Now anyone that uses my project can easily visualize all of the repos and query them to find projects that are still actively maintained.

I am in the process of building a(nother) recipe website. My goal was to minimize the choice paralysis that people face when they seen a million of recipes at once. I also wanted to try to keep the recipe fetching performant so I built my own index :).

I just finished the functional pieces. Right now, the site is a bit rough in terms of styling but I am tackling that next along with UX.

I'm designing a data format that takes the interoperability and readability pain out of sending data between systems.

With current solutions, you either have a text format with limited data types and have to encode things into strings (hoping the other side will understand how to convert them), or you use a binary format that's painful to read and use. My solution is a twin binary AND text format with seamless 1:1 conversion between them, and support for all common data types.

* No more coercing everything into potentially incompatible strings.

* No more interoperability issues - all common types are supported natively.

* No more having to choose between efficiency (binary) and readability (text).

I'm still finishing off the reference implementation and there will probably be some more tweaks here and there on the spec, but here's what it is currently: https://concise-encoding.org

I am building a simple Wordpress site for Bitcoin in Australia with affiliate links, price comparisons, articles and hardware wallets for sale. There will be little coding beyond some vanilla JS and that’s what I like about it as I code all day.

That's a great idea!

A Csv editor/viewer in Rust using druid. Very early stage, but the goal is to open large files (1 GB and over) easily and have some good filtering / sorting options. Excel stops at a certain amount of rows, LibreOffice is ok but slow and other editors I looked are not cross platform I know you can just import a Csv into a sql DB but it can be finicky it can take some time to map the columns, filter out invalid data e…

I work at a large financial company and every day we have a ansible job to get CSV file that's >1GB and move it to our shared drive. It's very idiot way of moving files but there are tons of companies still using this approach.

Then someone somewhere in India needs to make sure the job ran successfully by attempting to open that CSV file and doing a smoke testing.

I'm looking forward to this!

I've been busy with a couple of projects

With a friend I build Kameleont.me ( https://kameleont.me/ ) - A link "shortener" where the url redirects to diffrent targets based on device or OS.

On my own I build SOGDb ( https://sogdb.com/ ) - An open database for all available Stadia games with filtering options for local/online multiplayer support and such.
