I just reprioritzed my remaining 300 or so tickets for my chess variant AI sandbox game https://www.chesscraft.ca

I recently released a major update involving presigned s3 urls, and typically after a big update I pick my favorite issues (always fun) for the next big update while I go bug hunting. Sometimes I feel like this project is code therapy where, unlike at work, I get to do everything the right way and/or my way.

I've also just started strength training at a gym for the first time which is already helping enormously with my neck and back pain.

I've been working on an iOS app called snapmail: lets you take any photo on your phone, filter / sticker it, and send it as a 4x6 postcard anywhere in the U.S. for $2.99. Fun way to stay in touch with friends & fam. One of a few no-account-needed, single use iOS apps I've been working on.

TestFlight for now - try it out here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/wKY4eYV8

Working on a SaaS that associates a person/company and their tech stack with psychology profiles. The intent is to better connect job seekers with companies.

In short, if you want a person with Language A experience, but Language B is close enough, my software will provide the signal that the candidate is good enough for a closer look.

Example: PHP and Go devs are likely to have similar approaches to how software should be built. Ruby and Go, perhaps not so much.

There’s more nuance to it, but this is the idea.

I'm working on a serialization format, somewhat based on apache arrow but row-based. Includes end to end typescript type safety, and significantly faster than JSON in serialization and deserialization. Seems to do fairly well in the native version I threw together, but more of a javascript/typescript operation for now.
