Building small app with a friend. It should add some features to Instapaper, Pinboard and Pocket. We are having some trouble with different APIs, but a good thing is that I extracted boilerplate for this kind of things.

https://github.com/Stanko/react-redux-webpack2-boilerplate It includes minimal but complete set of features to get React/Redux app going.

I plan to keep it up to date, as a starting point for my personal stuff, as well as our company's projects

I'm currently working on a real time path tracer for games. It's pretty neat what a simulation of physically-based lighting enables you to do in terms of lighting and visual phenomena. Needs fast hardware but we're getting there! It's implemented in Vulkan and Rust.

Awesome that you're doing this in Rust! How's your experience been? (Would you be able to write a blog post about it later?) I'm very interested in seeing how Rust evolves as a video game design language. It's certainly shaping up as a language for building servers.

Yes, I'm planning to do a series of blog posts about it. In general, Rust is shaping up to be a great language for video games. There are some things that are known problems and that are hard to work with (such as recursive self-referencing data structures) but those are corner cases.

There general tooling of Rust is really nice. Much less so about Vulkan: It has a very limited compiler ecosystem with few optimizers and in general programming GLSL shaders in Vulkan is error prone, hard to debug and you'll be doing a lot of manual loop unrolling.

I've been working on improving my server-side JavaScript - Node/Express etc and basically taking a break from client-side frameworks, React/Angular etc. I miss the simplicity of just building a server-side website.

Anyway, I made a little job board https://wehire.io/ Nothing fancy, but fun to build.

I'm working on a Chrome Extension for YouTube that allows you to seek at any point in a video by a phrase search that matches against the dialogue. It will also allow you to search through the video by image captions. The image captions will be computed for discerning frames of the video using a CNN-RNN model called neuraltalk2. The front end will be very minimal and so this will allow me to get my hands dirty with React + Redux.

I am making a weight tracking application based off of the hacker's diet[0] using Flask and Pygal. I haven't worked on it in a few days because of school and all, but since I just learned how to process forms, I'll finish it off this weekend.

http://www.sensorama.org -- Open Source sensor platform for data science on iOS. I wrote code and did all the design. You get the JSON file of sensor data sampled at 100ms interval (configurable). I get a copy too!. I'm slowly improving it and adding new stuff.

Install: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sensorama/id1159788831?mt=8

Read code: https://github.com/wkoszek/sensorama-ios (main repo)

Going to give a talk on it: https://github.com/wkoszek/talks/tree/master/svmobiledev2016

Opinions would be welcome.
