I want to do a side project but not have web development be part of it. Any ideas?

I came across that app a little while ago - it definitely inspired my current side project! https://github.com/SaahilClaypool/SearchStory which is a similar locally-hosted web app with a Lucene search index

I'm working on a discussion tool with different modes (real-time, async, docs). Started out as an internal tool for remote writing culture, but now serving small communities — https://demo.gardens.to

I've been tinkering with decentralized communication protocols lately and made me think about the XMPP ecosystem (also about ActivityPub integrations with it), so I've started these two projects:

- XMPP server in Golang (very early stage)

- Mastodon port to Golang (also early stage)

(edit: formatting)

I'm working on designing and implementing a new programming language right now. Most of my work is for the web platform (be it frontend or backend) so this is a nice break. One of the more "back to CS fundamentals" projects I've done in a while.

Sieve: https://sievejobs.com

Software Development Job Search with metadata to allow developers to filter jobs by any facet that Software Developers could want:

- Interview Style - Open Seating vs. anything better. - Pay Rate - Work Hours Expectation - Automated Productivity Monitoring/Surveillance

Of course hiring managers would be reluctant to divulge so much; I'm currently working to attract enough (free!) Software Developer/Job Seeker profiles that hiring managers will be more or less compelled to post on the site.

A casual "game" that lets you organize information (text, pictures, video, webpages) within a 3D building, allowing you to browse and jump in/out of different contexts easily.
