Its not really half baked but was stuck in a loop of adding new features on top , while starting the project , i was pumped up to build it. it is like google keep, but for storing and sharing code snippets, most of the ui is inspired from google keep and i have added more features on top of that, i named it codekeep (google keep for code snippets) i can summarize codekeep as , Codekeep lets you organize your code sni…

This is really cool! I like gist but it lacks some features.

thanks brewingcode :-) do you have any suggestions for improving or any nice features that you would like to see

https://smoothtrack.app - an app that uses your phone's AR for 3D head tracking for PC games. Kind of a "VR" feel for sim games, without VR. Has layout issues on some smaller screens, I'm still working on a USB connection feature, and lots of other stuff I need to improve on. But releasing early was the right decision, it's already doing pretty well!

Cool concept. How is the experience moving the head, but keeping the eyes on the fixed location screen?

It works great, actually. The movement of the head is exaggerated in the game so you only need to nudge your head slightly to move the camera - you just keep your eyes on the same spot while you do so.

Your brain gets used to it very quickly and it feels surprisingly intuitive.

https://www.tree-annotation.org/ minimal universal syntax alternatives to JSON, XML, and S-expressions slowly baking on top

You might want to put an example of the syntax on the landing page. I have been to the "comparison" page and I'm still not sure what it looks like, because of the heavy highlighting (are the big dots part of the syntax? Are the tiny square brackets?) and there doesn't seem to be another example on the site.

Thanks for the feedback, good idea. Will do!

I continue to redesign the website for the best presentation. This is the second iteration. All feedback is very welcome.

The bullet points and differently sized brackets are purely syntax highlighting. Bullet points highlight list items. Highlighting stripped, all brackets are regular square brackets. "Minimal" is not an exaggeration. It has only 3 tokens.

There are some predefined examples on the interactive highlighter and parser pages at https://www.tree-annotation.org/highlight.html and https://www.tree-annotation.org/parser.html. Perhaps I'll put that on the front page as well, after further polishing.

I've been working on an IBC PC 5150 emulator.

It's written in pretty poor C++: https://github.com/davecom/DK86PC

It's at the point where it gets through booting the BIOS and gets to the IBM Casette BASIC (I haven't made much progress on the floppy disk controller to boot DOS). But then all keys get recognized as apostrophes: https://twitter.com/davekopec/status/1345925743902130176

If someone wants to help me finish it, I'd be happy for the help. Right now most of the 8086 (8088 technically but no difference at this point) is done, memory works, CGA has text mode support, and a basic implementation of most of the essential support chips is done (PIC, PIT, etc.). It's an Xcode project but the only dependencies are SDL and SDL_TTF so it can easily be ported to other platforms.

I've run some automated CPU tests and the CPU is reasonably good, but like I said still missing some instructions (DIV for example). I wrote it all by hand, only looking at other emulators when I got really stuck for a particular specific item.

I have posted before but if folks want help getting their projects across the finish line, I can (personally) help! I help as an accountability coach.

Sick of uncurated clickbait and Google News, I wanted a site where people could rewrite their own better headlines. Users would vote on multiple ones for each story. Now it's just a list of links (including clickbait). Feel free to add one.

https://turtlespaces.org

turtleSpaces is a 3D version of the Logo programming language. It runs on macOS, Windows and Linux but _really_ needs to run in a web browser, which we are working on! It also doesn't have good collision detection (yet) and it needs serious optimisation. But you can make some cool stuff with it!
