I kinda have become a bit discouraged now since most of my colleagues are not into GO so it is hard to find people to learn and talk about it.

#354I made an LED simulator! I've been building an ESP32 LED framework for a couple of years, and thanks to some great advances in AVR emulation, we can now emulate an Arduino in the browser and preview the patterns. I also made it into a desktop app that can flash a new firmware to a real device over wifi. Super fun. https://editor.soulmatelights.com/
As a noob coder also using this as a way to learn some stuff, a simulator was high on my list of things I wanted. Sure, I could tweak a program, upload to some little Trinket or Arduino, fire it up and see what happened, but it would make things a lot easier on the "learning basic Arduino code" side if I didn't have to build the whole thing first.

#355Nothing of any importance. Managed to screw myself up to the point of having constant generalized anxiety, so yeah, things are really working out here.
If you're having a panic attack, run up a flight of stairs, or hop on a bike and do a sprint around the block. Get your heart pumping. It sounds really counter intuitive but it works.
I get a pool of cold water in my hands, lean over the sink, and kind of face-plant in the pool.
(A quick cold shower works even better, but is more involved.)
YMMV, HTH!

#358I made an automatic chess board that allows you to play with another person over the Internet (using lichess), but with a physical board. It has been described as "very lockdown chic". Each chess piece has a magnet in the bottom. The board senses your moves by looking at where magnets disappear and appear, and it plays your opponent's moves by dragging them with an electromagnet underneath the board moved by a pair o…

#359We kicked off a blog during lockdown to share what we've learned over the years. Hope you enjoy it!

#360Having a monthly "Show HN-athon" would be nice (or is that already a thing and I always miss them?). - I did some woodworking at the start of lockdown. It was very therapeutic. Built a small table with a flip-top back where charging accessories can be stored: https://imgur.com/ea67ANO - And some more woodworking to build a shoe rack (never enough room for all our shoes): https://i.imgur.com/ihw12YT.jpg - A Raspberry…
Someone posts a side project Ask/Show HN thread every once in a while, but I haven't noticed any regular Show HN threads, either.
