Working on Chorebound - an RPG-style chore/habit app. You do real-world chores, they become quests, you fight monsters, get loot drops, earn XP/gold, and level up. Can be solo or co-op with friends/family.
If you’ve used Habitica and bounced off, this is meant to be more lightweight, simplified, and focused on closer-knit co-op rather than public guilds.
Releasing in the next few weeks.
Also planned to try out some io_uring based disk operation eventually, as an experiment to learn more of the underlying OS stuff.
I shared this last month, but I’m still having a lot of fun working on it. I made a daily word puzzle called Tiled Words. https://tiledwords.com Currently about 2,000 people play every day and I’ve released 59 puzzles! One feature I’m excited about is crowdsourcing puzzles. Today’s puzzle is a “community puzzle” made entirely from clues that players submitted! I plan to do this every week or two. I wrote about launch…
I haven't yet tried this very extensively - but another profound change in programming that this showed me is that it is now very easy to borrow parts of Open Source libraries. It used to be that you could only base your work on a library - borrowing parts of projects that were not designed to be shared (used as libraries) was prohibitive - but with llms it is entirely possible to say: "now please borrow the UI ideas from project X" and it does that. Maybe you need to add some planning.
The project is about 27kloc now.

I had had the idea and the domain registered for years and recently just took the leap to put it out there.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blazingban... Completely free, no ads, no in-app purchases and no accounts / network required offline voice transcription. I have also built the macOS/Windows/Linux versions which I'll also make free to download and available on my site soon ( https://blazingbanana.com/ ). iOS version is built and works (extremely well), just waiting for the Apple Developer signup pro…
This way one can listen to the recording again, and correct such issues.
