I work too much.

We've got: a language that looks like python but lowers to cpp: https://github.com/wegfawefgawefg/dudu; a site that tracks power outtages in canada: https://www.outagehub.ca/ ; a clone of spelunky in cpp with multiplayer and mods: https://github.com/wegfawefgawefg/splonks-cpp; a shadertoy clone but you code in asm: https://github.com/wegfawefgawefg/asm-shader-toy; a fixed point math lib: https://github.com/wegfawefgawefg/gfxp; a sexpr based json replacement with good perf: https://github.com/wegfawefgawefg/gsexp;

Outside of personal stuff, I'd like to shill my consultancy, G&K Software. (IDK if this is even allowed, but its what i'm working on so I think its fair.) We had: an ai asset generation site; a trading tool for a fund in dubai; an endorsed sales data tool;

Those are all out of business now due to global market craziness, tarrifs, and AI advancements... so I guess we've got nothing right now. (Please somebody give us business lol) gibson@gnk.software

It's a weekly email with all the recently published software engineering conference talks. I also pick a few ones that are featured and write short TLDRs. This month, I'll should hit 10,000 readers, fingers crossed!

https://getkakeibo.com - an extremely simple app to get your finances in order, based on the kakeibo method. You make a plan for your month (income, fixed expenses) and then you track your expenses daily, categorising them into simple buckets: wants, needs, culture and unexpected. At the end of the month, the app guides you through a reflection flow where you can learn about your habits and think about what you want…

Is there a way to import expenses? It's a bit annoying if I have to enter them one by one on my phone, when I can easily get an export from my bank account on my desktop

it’s technically possible, as you can download export and import the SQLite database as you like, but my vision for the app is that logging each expense individually (with the annoyance that it entails) is one of the core points. There are a lot of apps right now that will be able to parse the data from your bank (even connect to it) and give you beautiful stats about your expenses, but my experience with those is that you see the graphs, think 2 minutes about them and forget instantly.

I wanted to make something totally different, with the hopes that it can make you a bit more conscious about your spending and habits.

I tried to get a promo code for android (twice - on WiFi and data) both times I got that "this code has expired".

I re-generated the codes now, but I think they’ll only be available in 43 minutes, couldn’t set an earlier time.

I have some that are still valid, so hopefully you can redeem one of them:

Personal AI. Step by step evolving something I worked on for 10 years from an open source Go framework to APIs to apps and now agents. It's been an interesting journey. It's not finished yet. It's also not going to be a billion dollar company or have breakout success like OpenClaw but when you tackle personal problems I think they turn into more valuable opportunities. The opportunity to learn or have something that benefits a few people. I can't take off my entrepreneurial hat though. I keep trying to figure out how to make it work for everyone but I think that's the trap. Build for yourself. The rest will come.

Fair points, that does make sense. Might be something to cover in a FAQ?

whenever i want to play a video game with someone, theres no way to just pick up a couple of controllers and jump into a game without waiting for something to start, or update, or sync, or...

im building a tiny handheld video game (think GBA) where simply turning it on starts the game and you can immediately start playing. no os to boot, bios checksum screen to wait through, or scripts between you and the game. if another person turns their handheld on, they join your game and it becomes multiplayer seamlessly

esp32-s3 based for dual cores (screen updates / game loop) and bluetooth for "local" wireless multiplayer matchmaking, currently making the game itself be like a cross between puyo pop and tetris (an actual mashup of the rules, not just two games in one cartridge)
