I'm building a simple web app to help me spend more time actively creating ideas when I'm online and less time just passively consuming information. The app is super simple. It just encourages you to write ten ideas on a topic. You can either come up with the topic or borrow a pre-existing topic from someone else on the site. When you finish coming up with ten ideas on that topic, you can see all the other ideas that…

Bravo Joseph on learning to code and using your new skills to build something useful. If you want some feedback I'd be happy to provide it. Email real10xdev at g mail dot com and we can do a review of the project (and the code, if you want) over email or voice chat. Whichever you prefer. I have a decade of experience in the industry building web applications including with python.

Interested! By spatially do you mean this is a vr app?

Sort of! It's in 3D. Spatial is leveraging the human ability to reason about & remember landmarks as part of navigation of a space and associate information.

The advent of JavaScript endless scrolling was really disorienting for me, it made me realize I had an almost "Palace of Memory" approach to mentally categorizing online information by its navigation and page structure before then.

I wrote a dynamodb querying, SQL and Cypher database in Python. The code is very small and simple HTTPS://GitHub.com/samsquire/hash-db

It supports distributed joins over SQL. I plan to add multimodel specifically GraphQL and document storage.

I also wrote a multithreaded user space M:N scheduler in Rust, C and Java. It multiplexes N lightweight threads over M kernel threads like Golang goroutines. I also wrote an evented version with a multiconsumer multiproducer RingBuffer that handles IO. I need to add epoll network events and you have an application server. This is like Libev or libuv an event loop for processing and queuing up blocking syscalls without blocking.

I want to implement a LLVM JIT runtime. I have an idea for a very simple event queue that handles multithreading while being threadsafe. One of my other projects is multiversion concurrency control.

This is cool! I've had this idea knocking around in the back of my head similar to this about an MMO like game where users could write WASM code and "imbue" items in the game with it. Sort of allowing them to create interesting game logic to build stories and things in it. Elixir always felt like it'd be a good backend to coordinate running things

Dang, that's also a neat idea! I do also like the Elixir language. I'll have to keep this in mind for future projects. Perhaps I can integrate some sort of system into botnet, where you can program custom bot actions somehow. It would make the replay system I'm writing much more difficult though xD

Upvote on Elixir! I'm learning it right now at Divvy and loving it!

Currently working on a Hacker News client using Flutter: https://github.com/Livinglist/Hacki

There’s currently an issue with Android version where user can’t login for some reasons… never been able to reproduce it unfortunately… https://github.com/Livinglist/Hacki/issues/58
