PortfolioSlice. It’s a website where you can share your investment portfolio and its asset allocations. Then other people can just follow that with an easy to use cash divider.

It currently just has my portfolio that I use (Innovation and Global Growth) and some other generated ones. I wanted to try out SvelteKit and Svelte to replace my Google Sheet into something cooler. Not sure if I want to monetize this.

I wanted some extra functionality for the Swaybar in the Sway Window Manager. I got a basic thing working with Bash, but I wanted more stuff, and so I rewrote it in Clojure with GraalVM.

I think it's kind of cool, I ended up with a fairly elaborate async framework with multimethods and lots of configuration, and the entire thing has almost no "real" blocking, and can persist state so that it can survive restarts.

The reason for async support was so that I can easily have my Swaybar ping HTTP endpoints and display stuff, without it affecting the synchronous data in the bar. I have TTLs in order to rate-limit stuff, and also have click-event support.

Right now, I have it ping OpenAI to generate a stupid inspirational quote based on something from a list of about two-hundred topics. Right now on the top of my bar it says:

> "Let the flame-grilled passion of life's challenges be your fuel for success" - Patty Royale

I think it's kind of cool, it's building with Nix so it should be reproducible, and with GraalVM, it hovers at around 12-15 megs of RAM on my machine.

Working on getting my life back together.

I've been more or less sick for the most of Q1/25. Always some cold, coughing, sometimes worse. Went to work nevertheless most of the time (stupid, I know), because... I don't know. Guess I think work is more important because it gives me the feeling of being good at something and worth it.

Didn't take much care about eathing healthy, getting my gym routine done or even enough sleep. Lots of other stress, too.

Not sure how much I can change from Q2/2025 on but I'll have to start optimistic. Some clouds are clearing up, some problems and issues are gone or being taken care of, can only go up from here.

All the best for everyone.

Working on a tool to remember things I read.

You select some text with your phone and share it with my app, then the shared text is reformulated to a flashcard (with the help of a llm).

You can then browse your flashcards in the app, but I’m also working on ways to show the cards to you with less friction: Like on the phone lock screen or on the face of your watch.
