Flux-Mithril The Flux overview video seemed convincing. It's a web app architecture that lets you ask "How did my app get into this state?" and always have a straightforward path to an answer. It turns out Mithril fits the architecture as well or better than React does, and for me mobile-friendliness is important so I really like Mithril's size.

#162A JSON document store built on PostgreSQL's jsonb columns.
These days I have client libraries done for Python, Clojure and NodeJS, so I've been focusing on getting deb packages ready and gearing up for a 1.0 release.

#164Rddt.tv - http://rddt.tv Reddit.tv was an app to watch videos posted to reddit but shut down back in January. Haven't been able to find a replacement that I liked, so I built my own. Made the videos full-screen by default and added extra stuff like support for Soundcloud embeds (so you could listen to music subreddits), a directory of video-posting subreddits, multireddits, keyboard shortcuts.
Neat, now I can browse /r/listentothis and discover new music easily! Thanks for sharing this, I'll be using it today. :) UX idea: I'd make the subreddit list alphanumerical. I had to look through it a few times to find the subreddit I wanted. Another UX idea: If a video/soundcloud fails to load, is it possible to detect that the tab isn't playing audio (say after 10-15 seconds) and skip to the next item in the list?
The subreddit list definitely needs some attention. The aim was to bucket them into categories, so I either need to flesh that out or sort them.
Skipping media that doesn't load is doable. Some content won't play or advance automatically because a lack of an api to control the api (gifs, Liveleak, Basecamp, iTunes, spotify) but I didn't automatically filter them out because a lot of it is good content. Probably a good option to add to a settings page.

#165Currently, a lot of woodworking. It's awesome because it keeps my mind free from more stressful things. :)
That being said, building the old-fashioned pole barn (36'x54') using logs, sawmill, and kiln to make the lumber, almost killed me. There needs to be some sort of limit to everything.
