- Setting up a small webservice that creates PDF files with sample data for workflow development. I need this for work as it's easier than working with real customer data. Hopefully others find it useful, too. Will make a ShowHN once it's finished. - Remade a small landingpage for tshirt-designs with motives for my hometown/area. Used a software called "Bootstrap Studio" for that. I think I found it through HN. Reall…

Really recommend the book, "Why Buddhism is true" by Robert Wright. He discusses the "atheist" take on buddhism, and how it predates an awful lot of what we now understand through modern psychology.

It's not really a tutorial on meditation, but I've learned more than enough to get started, and it's really interesting to see where I've gotten since starting.

Working on a couple of things that are relevant to the new normal of #QuarantineLife:

https://www.roseandrex.com/pages/resources - Index of Covid-19 related online resources for families

https://www.jqbx.fm - Listen to Spotify with friends online

https://www.zigpoll.com - Embeddable polling widget for websites.

With the bump in traffic on all the web properties due to the quarantine it's a been pretty hectic week! I wonder if y'all feel the same. Stay safe!

I wanted to explore game development in the browser for a long time and I got no excuses now :) Currently looking at matter.js which was very easy to learn so far.

What made you chose matter over others, say phaser? I'm building a p2p thing and want to build some showcase simple apps on it

I'm making all these remote meetings suck less with a real-time collaborative idea board.

The idea is that you can set up a meeting agenda, get everyone to add ideas, then discuss, vote and get consensus quickly:

Also I film all my work on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFP8wPiIB7kz7pbYCnjIc...

I'm building what I hope is an educational and entertainment project for when my son is older. It's a cross between Dynamicland[1] and Osmo[2], that combines a projector, camera, and computer vision to hopefully bring programming and creativity out of the monitor and into a semi-real world. I'm just designing the system now and I posted on reddit[3] to ask the machine learning community for advice. I'm also reaching out to computer vision engineers to offer to pay them for a few hours of their time via Zoom to get advice. Some examples of similar systems are [4] and [5].

I don't have a name for this yet.

Building a developer community called Able - https://able.bio/

Been focussing on the markdown editor and finishing up some new data portability (easy import / export of posts) over the last couple of days.

You can try out the editor here: https://able.bio/new

Would appreciate any feedback.

Looking for something to do myself, actually.

I recently built https://www.warcache.com to save paint recipes and army lists for wargaming, or print out sheets of proxy cards for Underworlds.

It was fun to build, but kinda stuck thinking of what to add.

If anyone out there has a Python/Flask project they need help on, let me know. Stuck in the house, might as well help some projects.

I'm working on bot implementation for my latest game[1]. I only ever made bots for my first game[2] but it was a breeze then. Now I needed to setup waypoints, pathfinding algorithms and some funky chasing logic but frankly I'm loving it. It's amazing how fruitful javascript community is! Libraries like rbush[3] (and really just a lot of different things by mourner) and ngraph.path[4] make things so much easier.
