#592I built http://www.postcardmailer.us a few years ago as a spaghetti jQuery project, and am working on transitioning it to React.

#593I started a YouTube channel to explore commission free trading API's, automated trading, and stock market data:

Up to 2,000 subscribers now which is very motivating! I feel like there is a lot of demand for this information, but there is a shortage of people who are sharing how to implement trading systems with Python. So I'm teaching myself and sharing on YouTube as I learn.

#594I built an Ethereum version of Reddit r/place called https://etherdoek.com. All Ethereum art projects so far rely on storing data off chain. I wanted to show that it's possible to store everything on Ethereum. That way blockchain qualities like censorship resistance are preserved. The canvas will exist as long as Ethereum.

#595Catching up on a few maker projects I wanted to do for some time. Meshroom is a image to 3D model system, I hate taking a hundred photos manually, so cooked up a rotating platform, greenscreen, and some high power LED lights. Most of the work is just tedious wiring, reducing the total number of power supplies, power cables, etc.
Results are pretty good- I can take ~100-200 photos in a few minutes, import into Meshroom, and have a 3D model an hour later.

#596Designed a sanitary foot pull and launched a web store - https://www.pedipull.com
Normally I manage a team and write software for the oil and gas industry but oil isn't doing so great these days. We used some mechanical engineering resources design it, laser cut it and prototyped it in the office bathroom, determined freedom to operate after a review of existing patents, and launched the webstore on Shopify with a colleague. This all happened in about two days!

#597Been doing a lot of meat smoking, but also toying with
https://phonefilter.io - easy set up a rick roll or a redirect phone number. Basically a throw away number with a bunch of configurable uses. Just a simple drop down to change what the number "does"

Real-time avatars with our deep computer vision pipeline; developed with GStreamer, Rust and LibTorch. This CV pipeline is usually used for training robots inside simulations and generating synthetic datasets. But given the circumstances, thought it would be fun to explore other use cases.

#599After receiving an email from a Big N recruiter, I decided to spend the last month working through LeetCode problems.
I'm glad I did, because literally every job I've applied for has had some kind of Codility or HackerRank style test - even bog-standard developer jobs have asked DSA-style questions. Yesterday, I was asked a Dynamic Programming question for a full-stack developer role at a bank.
It seems like these kind of interviews are becoming the norm, so I'll probably spend the rest of my furlough time working through DSA courses, grinding LeetCode, and doing daily Codility tests for different companies.
