Nothing of any importance. Managed to screw myself up to the point of having constant generalized anxiety, so yeah, things are really working out here.

Sorry to hear that. Same though. Things are spiralling in the wrong direction and I just want peace and some people to talk to here and there without politics hijacking the conversation.

Email is in the profile if you wanna hit me up.

I've started to scratch my own itch, trying to improve the audiobooks streaming experience.

https://bookcamp.app

I've got enough validation to think there's a market for it, especially in the Plex community. So for the MVP, the server acts only as a layer between Plex and the client. This allows me to build a great audiobook player and add features on top that Plex is not capable of.

I'm sad to hear that you feel so anxious :( Exercise helps a ton. So does therapy (cognitive behavior therapy especially). Mindfulness meditation can help a lot, too.

It feels... guilty not to do something productive; like work. Or something showcase-worthy. I guess it also has something to do with "turning off" when working from home: it's like you have to give 120% every day until you can't and then the downward spiral starts. Home becomes office, and slowly, creepingly all becomes work and, well, I guess one just have to remind oneself that taking care of yourself and "turning off" is not only okay, but necessary. Just like food.
