I published a revised version of my "Vim Reference Guide" ebook: https://learnbyexample.github.io/vim_reference/Introduction....

Then, I started working on an interactive TUI app for Python beginner exercises. I've previously written such apps for CLI tools (grep, sed, awk, coreutils, etc): https://github.com/learnbyexample/TUI-apps

Professionally, I recently founded a startup focusing on education in dentistry. I've developed a platform to discuss and interact with cases online which I use for my own teaching, and thought other might also be interested. I've made some of the custom components (image editor, 3D viewer) freely available: https://kigun.org/

Personally, I'm building a website which lets you quickly setup personal online dashboards, because I wanted to have an overview of all the sites I refresh often on one page: https://frankendash.com/

Making fingerboards. Little skateboards you can do tricks with. I'm always fingerboarding at work when I take a break from programming. It's a ton of fun, especially writing Fusion 360 scripts to do all the parametric modeling of decks and molds. Then 3D printing molds with different parameters, pressing decks with veneer, making art for the decks, packaging, etc. It's an incredibly niche hobby but I've always found…

I hope you have a baby turtle too: https://old.reddit.com/r/BeAmazed/comments/1bkyopc/baby_turt...

I'm making a cyberpunk-like ttrpg system, that should be roughly backwards compatible with the old gear catalogs. But it adds better progressions, some fairly innovative (I think) die rolling systems that make better use of party skills, and a number of ways that roleplay changes the rules, and visa versa.

I just (like today) started working on an open-source, self-hosted, e2e encrypted, and free password manager.

I’m writing the backend in Go, with a standard API layer to allow custom frontends. I will also be building “official” frontends for mobile apps, desktop apps, and browser extensions.

The main reason I’m doing this is because I don’t like the UI of other self-hosted password managers, and I hate relying on the security of cloud options.

Seeing as I just started work on it today, I don’t have much (not even a real name). If you want to follow along, heres the Github, https://github.com/dickeyy/passwords

My goal for this project is to provide teams and individuals with the ability to secure their passwords while also providing a clean and elegant experience.

LMK what you think!

A biology/machine-learning blog!

Rediscovering an old love for writing that I thought had left me after highschool, now applied in the field I work in! Recommend starting your own blog if you're on the fence + being consistent about posting, it's extremely worth it

I’m building an integration platform, think Zapier or Workato.

We’ve been hand coding full-service integration workflows for 2+ years on a large B2B agency model, and in parallel have been building a platform using what we’ve learned to build better abstractions.

We’re at an interesting point where almost all new workflows are being built on the platform, and we’re serving over 100 clients.

We’re prepping for public release in the next few months.
