I started something to track my progress to FI. So far you can track your portfolio and net worth in stocks.

I still have to add a lot of stuff, like bank accounts, mortgages, etc but with the lockdown here I've kinda lost motivation for a bit.

Oh man! So I have a fractal half-baked project made up of smaller half-baked projects that all fit together to make a plan to save the world!

Help people understand computers from the gates up using simple computer system based on LoF notation and Oberon RISC and ATMega328P microcontrollers (of Arduino fame; because I have a handful laying around) New computer architecture based on latching sort-nets. (This isn't written up online anywhere.) Programing system inspired by M. Hamilton's Higher Order Software et. al., implemented with Joy lang.

Self-replicating swarm robots to collect and reprocess oceanic waste into more swarm robots and eventually large floating/flying structures.

Combine Christopher Alexander's Pattern Language with Permaculture ecology-mimetic design patterns to design and build large "art" installations: essentially vast gardens that people can live in. (on land, at sea, and in the air. And maybe one day on other worlds, eh?)

Join my mailing list. https://lists.sr.ht/~sforman/heliotrope.pajamas I need an audience and feedback, I need to know people give a fig and want this.

I tend to loaf around because to me it seems like folks obviously don't want the world saved, we're having a good time playing with our phones and shouting a lot. Who am I to disturb that?

I am an experienced mobile developer but trying to learn web development these days. I have started this project a month ago and trying to build something useful.

You can create new threads by just typing or copy/pasting. Main goal is show retention rate of thread from analytics.

Beware, it is really in early stage.

I built a mini game engine in JS that allows someone to build a 2D game, but once it was done I started to become bored.

I think it's a little bit beyond "half" baked, but I built a thing I call Logsuck last year: https://github.com/jackbister/logsuck The idea is to have a free Splunk alternative which you can set up with just one binary. I use Splunk at work and love it, but it just doesn't seem like a product for solo developers (I can't even find a pricing page on splunk.com), and the primary free alternative, the ELK stack, seems a…

This is cool, do you have any usage detail and/or production nuances?

My personal website. Had lots of fun building it two years ago. I should migrate it to vanilla js and polish the newer informations (research activities) when I have time.

I’ve got these features in the backlog! I’d love for you to play around and provide some feedback on current state! Everything is client side and reactive to your plan changes so it’s easy to quickly see how your changes effect your plan.
