Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?

I've been writing a lot on my Zettelkasten. I've been very productive!

I published an article about Zettelkästen: https://github.com/alefore/weblog/blob/master/zettelkasten.m...

I'm also working on an article about software correctness, summarizing my experience working on infrastructure software at Google for about 13 years. It's very incomplete and I'll probably end up restructuring it significantly (not very happy with the current logical structure). I only started working on this two or three weeks ago (as a side project), so I'm satisfied with the progress I've been able to make: https://github.com/alefore/weblog/blob/master/software-corre...

I'm also working on other similar articles on other topics (Bitcoin, Stoicism, Bauhaus), but those are even less complete.

Lastly, I've continued to make significant improvements to my text editor (https://github.com/alefore/edge).

I think it's interesting that I'm finding it hard to focus on some topics, but I'm currently very productive in others.

I made distancekids.com but didn’t invest any more time or money in to the design of the site.

I built 5 no code apps and a hydroponic garden, one of the apps is a companion app for a card game I built pre-quarantine, another one is a decision journal app, one is for tracking my hydroponic garden, one is for curating news for my sales team, and one is a voice app to experiment with. Also in the process of cofounding a startup so built a landing page and a bit of commercial backend (CRM, email, etc.)

I’ve dug out my old Amiga 1200, replaced the hard disk with a CompactFlash card and am now trying to connect it to WiFi.

I may also have to replace all the capacitors which would be an adventure. Might end up paying someone else to do that.

Sadly I've got busy with client work again. It needs serious thought about the UI and I need to figure out how to either widen it's appeal or reach its niche audience.

I find it endlessly fascinating and I naturally assumed others would too. :-)

It's largely based on work that John Conway did and I was looking forward to showing it to him at some point. Sadly we both ran out of time.
