Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?

1) A bit of cleaning up of an online tabletop game.

Happy to host a game for anyone interested once I have functional internet restored. Stuck in France and connectively handicapped.

2) Baking cakes !

The best one yet is an almond chocolate cake which functions really well as proper-food-replacement.

3) On the work side I've been helping a few companies migrate to remote work. Improving organisational habits and behaviour so people see that remote can be a positive thing. Measurably.

I continue working on my GBA emulator and its test suite.

Writing assembly code and see it running on your own emulator feels awesome. Yesterday I started to implement simple text rendering using the GBA bitmap modes.

I also added a WebAssembly port using emscripten (which was easier than expected for a SDL2 based application).

Building a chrome extension to block spoilers on youtube. Got frustrated with "Spoiler Protection 2.0" since it doesn't cover the thumbnails. For some type of contents (ie combat sports/MMA), the thumbnail basically gives away the results.

Learning Crystal, and working on a CLI to download and stitch books from Project MUSE:

I created a browser based, client-side only, GIF screen recording tool:

https://gifcap.dev/

It uses a fork of gifsicle compiled in WASM to produce highly optimized GIFs really fast. It supports trimming and cropping the end result.

Let me know what you think!
