I'm working on a platform for recording and managing user acceptance tests for software projects. I am trying to build it out slowly but in the open at https://github.com/golang-malawi/qatarina

Besides building the ideas I have in mind around how UAT could be improved for both devs and clients (users). My other goal is to encourage more Malawians to consider Go as a programming language for shipping solutions in, my Go evangelism has been working slowly but I think people need to see something they can appreciate to get more people onboard.

Also working on a personal finance app in Flutter for young Africans, but that's not public yet :)

I recently bought a used Seadoo and discovered the dirty little secret of personal watercraft that they don't want you to know. Unlike cars with their standardized ODB2 ports, those aren't a requirement for PWCs. And the diagnostic scanner hardware/software costs hundreds or thousands of dollars. Major affront to the right to repair, so I'm ending up doing some CANbus hacking.

That’s kinda surprising. In Polaris ATV’s they seem to have this built into the interface of the machine itself so you can read the codes on its LCD. I don’t know how complex they are but I assumed they were a bit more open than OBD-II instead of less.

Working on generating zsh tab autocompletion for my CLI framework. I'm finding it difficult because zsh makes completion surprisingly complicated and the zsh docs have a lot more descriptions than examples. Other CLI frameworks all seem to approach this differently.

I'm building an open source Federated Public Key Directory, so that I can then build end-to-end encryption for the Fediverse.

https://github.com/fedi-e2ee/public-key-directory-specificat...

Think: Encrypted DMs for Mastodon. I wrote several blog posts about the project and why it matters.

Eventually I plan on doing a "Show HN" post when it's built and close to feature-complete.

Well, it's a shameless promotion but I'm working on my UI/UX course. I make it with NuxtJS, so it's a custom platform.

The key idea is that I'll try explain UI/UX by redesigning a big application (with old UI and poor UX), combining theory with real-world practice.

I've found that filing out job applications is rather boring and takes a lot of my time for just a few applications. That's why I'm creating an AI tool to rewrite resumes and automate the jobs application process. I previously created a scraping tool for Glassdoor and LinkedIn, so this a natural next step. List of features: * Analyzes candidate information * Examines job descriptions * Generates unique CVs and cover…

woaw nice, Do you open source it / make it available in any way ?

Working on my game Sandustry, a mining and automation sandbox with pixel-based physics (think Noita meets Factorio). I released the first playtest of the alpha a few days ago, which you can try directly in your browser: https://lanttogames.itch.io/sandustry

performance tanked once I started to dig and the screen got dark, FPS returned to normal once I was fully above ground

I am working on a zero trust proposal for location permission on mobile platforms: https://github.com/itissid/privyloci It's a demo of an idea. It could be an app too, but I'd much rather it be a CoreOS service that is user controlled. Looking for organizational and privacy first support soon.

Cool, i recall microG doing this. but they were hamstrung by the mozilla decision to shut down its wifi based location positioning.

I don't thing its easy building that and without that accurate poaitioning is hard imo...
