I've been working on a "newsbetting" site. Basically, you get a de-titled article and have to place a bet whether you think the source has a right leaning bias or left leaning bias. The idea is this betting market will force people to contend with their biases which will then reduce the proliferation of fake news. Theoretically

#674I've been working on adding diff support to a tool I created a while back for interactive rebases in Git. It's been interesting digging into libgit2 and the Rust bindings.
https://github.com/MitMaro/git-interactive-rebase-tool
The tool/utility provides an easy interface for managing the interactive rebase TODO file. It's heavily inspired by vim and I have plans to expand the functionality.
I had tried a similar tool that was written using Node.js but that seemed like overkill. After ranting about the lack of a good tool, my co-worker at the time challenged me to write it that evening after work. I added to the challenge that I would write it Rust since I had not used the language before and I had heard several good things about it. After hacking away for several hours that evening, I had a working prototype to show at work the next day. Since then the project has evolved a lot and it's gained some traction. It now has a small community behind it, which is really awesome!

#677Built a simple WebGL landing page for an older iOS project where you can wear President's faces in AR. Most of the work actually enough went into optimizing load time... still some room to improve.
