#622Working on a low cost, miniature Bluetooth tracker. The inspiration was my parents keep losing (forget) their spectacles in the house. I wanted to build something that is very easy and simple to use and it was important to keep it small. SO the form factor is something like an airtag but 10x smaller which can be just stuck on to the spectacles and forget that it exists. Next step, obviously is to build a simple app that shows the location of this tracker with a range based on the Bluetooth signal strength.

#62620 years and counting, working on https://next-episode.net (it's a TV/Movies tracking website and community).
I've dedicated this week to some maintenance tasks that are long overdue (mainly modernization of the code and the database), kinda delaying the inevitable (which is to work on harder tasks in my todo - like adding features to the mobile apps).

#628I am working on a home-oriented solution (hardware box + software) for backups of the media files from phones.
The solution facilitates having a separate backup drive (stored in a closet) in addition to the primary data drive in the box.

#629Creativity and game development clubs for kids:
https://breaka.club/blog/why-were-building-clubs-for-kids
Basically, I'm building tooling and providing these to community run clubs that help turn kids from consumers into creators. I'm focusing on game development initially, but have plans to expand into other areas of creativity.
We're using Godot + GodotJS (which I'm a maintainer of): https://breaka.club/blog/godots-most-powerful-scripting-lang...
I've much experience building software for creators. I'm a (core) developer of Tabletop Simulator. I worked at a now defunct startup which allowed people to create and distribute their own interactive fiction stories using partner third-party IPs.
I have a background in EdTech. I used to be Head of Engineering at Ender, where we ran custom Minecraft servers for kids: https://joinender.com/ and prior to that I was Head of Engineering at Prequel / Beta Camp, where we ran courses that helped teenagers learn about entrepreneurship: https://www.beta.camp/. During peak COVID I also ran a social emotion development book subscription service with my wife, a primary school teacher.
