I'm working on http://madewithreactnative.com where I showcase apps made with React Native and interview developers and teams who have gone down that road about their experience.

I want to expand to also include interviews with developers who have made tools and libraries FOR React Native.

If you're interested in doing an interview, I'd be happy to talk to you.

Not for income, but for learning and to scratch my own itch. Finally picked up a raspberry pi and a USB ANT+ reader to pair with my heart rate monitor chest strap. I've had an old 26" LCD TV in our home gym that I will use as the display for the pi. Goal is to create a simple workout timer that also tracks heart rate and logs everything to a local db. My goals out of this are: - learn some python - do some hardware h…

I had a project a few years back to connect my indoor bike trainer to google streetview -

I ended up using the ant+ dongle and connected straight to my laptop. Using the GPL code from GoldenCheetah for the handshakes -

It was a nice project but refresh rates were too slow - i should have built trainerroad!

I keep thinking about doing the same with rasp pi and retropi, then use hr, or speed to control a game. but dont have time at the moment

Hadnt planned on a side project - but my son wanted to learn about computers. So we're connecting a rasp pi zero + camera up to the bird feeder to take photo's of birds, with a plan to post to instagram. So far no birds on feeder

Anyone able to advise on the easier way to run it off solar power?

2017 was full of web development with JavaScript and React for me [0]. It was time to peak into another subject. That's why I started to learn about machine learning in the last months of 2017 and want to continue this endeavour in 2018. My desire is to spread the knowledge for web developers and JavaScript enthusiasts [1]. Maybe I can give people coming from web development the opportunity to hop on the machine learning train by using JavaScript instead of having to learn another programming language (Python) for it. At the moment, I learn ML myself by implementing the learned things in JavaScript [2].

End of last year released an experimental custom postcards web app: https://www.cardwhat.com . Currently about to release an update for it https://cards-nrhwdfdpsx.now.sh/ . Later in 2018, I want to extend this to a custom t-shirts app.

I like the website but on mobile safari (iOS 11) the headline on top of the 3D card is cut off. :)

Thank you! Will account for it in the next release
