During the spring, I released an open source Bluetooth tracing app for Covid-19: https://github.com/RaphaelJ/covid-tracer

The app is fully working, and supports most of the privacy protection that one could find in the most advanced apps.

It's also my first app built using Xamarin.

It's a pipeline engine for Kubernetes[1]. The idea is to build a tool that can be flexible enough for CI/CD, but also used for other things such as for example data processing. The pipelines are just designed as serial and parallel execution of pods with no fancy features (i.e. loops or conditions) and the idea is to let other tools generate more complex pipelines using code. Responsibility of triggering the pipeline…

Looks promising. How does it compare to Tekton?

Static SMS microblog, https://phasedust.com

Been trying this out with friends and family for a couple of weeks. Some things we like about it: no setup or signup, fast and snappy, doesn’t demand or abuse attention.

Some things I’m still thinking about: image scaling and optimization, discovery (search? hashtags? web-rings?).

Zygote [1], started as bunch of ideas about programming languages, now it is in exploration/design phase, might end up becoming a new programming language.

Main goals: idiomatic translation (transpilation into readable code, with both imperative and functional targets possible, e.g. translating map-filter-reduce chain into a loop), restricted homoiconic syntax (with typed macros), advanced language concepts (dependent types, contracts, verification, effect systems) implemented as macros.

Target uses: GPU/heterogenous programming, neural networks model definitions, cryptography; everywhere where control is needed over how abstractions are translated into the low level code.

I am a big fan of cross-functional fitness, and I learned a lot through a PT, but I struggled to find an exercise logging application that embraced complex exercise groupings beyond supersets, and could track my progress too.

So I've been building an iOS app in my spare time.

It's a little rough around the edges, and the progress pages are undergoing much needed TLC, but you can put together pretty decent workouts with it.

Working on a private journaling app for iOS that opens ~instantly and feels like a private blog or Twitter page. Content is saved to your iCloud Drive and is totally private.

It’s still a bit buggy and the UI needs a bit of polish, but I’ve been using it for the past year and it’s been helpful for thought and introspection.

there’s a beta here: https://posting.app

The idea's to build a collaborative graph-based learning map to learn seamlessly and optimally whatever's your learning goal. It's open source, non profit and I'm looking for contributors ! The tech stack is Neo4j/Node.js/TypeScript/GraphQl on the backend, React/Typescript/Chakra UI/Apollo client on the frontend. I would also need help on the design. My Twitter: @olivier_ramier, email: olivier@sci-map.org. Hit me up if you're interested !

This is definitely stealth [1] for me.

Peer-to-peer networking works (without TLS for peer-to-peer yet), cache and tabs/history works, UI interaction works (since a couple weeks ago).

Beacons and Echoes don't work, Parsers still don't work for CSS and HTML, filtering doesn't work again; and worked before... lots of things that need fixing.

https://chaynring.herokuapp.com/

Made this app after having tons of people ask me during lockdowns about a "good bike" to buy. Idea is that Chaynring is the community driven backend to sites like CL, FB Marketplace, Ebay, etc. that gives localized prices of bike sales.

Still trying to figure out the incentives to make users post, but I feel like there's some potential here.

https://musicianship.studio I built it a while ago, and don't have the heart to shut it down. It's basically meant to be musical flash cards. If it got some more traction, I could probably afford to spend time actually polishing it off.

Interesting. I've been wanting to brush up on my piano for a while and will give this a shot. :)
