I'm still working on our privacy-friendly web analytics tool Pirsch Analytics (pirsch.io) like a madman :) I've been doing this for 3 1/2 years now and I'm still super motivated, especially because it's challenging from a technical point of view, and very rewarding (I live off it now).

I don't want to say too much about it until we've started working on it, but it's in the compliance space and fits quite well with our existing product. I think it's always a good starting point to solve your own problems.

Officially retired. Managing the money I saved to retire on, which is more time-consuming and stressful than expected. Working on yet another static site generator but stymied by my terrible Git/GitHub skills. Studying historical Western secular music. Jazz guitar too.

Would you mind sharing your approximate age? Did you work in a FAANG?

I am working alone on https://tree-of-knowledge.org This is a hierarchical representation of any given piece of knowledge. It starts with a tree root node that you specify (let's say Kung fu), then it branches out into multiples subcategories (techniques, styles, philosophy, weaponry, ect...) and then you can click on these subcategories to branch out even more into the graphical tree. This is all generated on-the-fl…

Congrats, pretty amazing work! Loved it!!

Unsurprisingly, I don’t see many hardware projects here.

If anyone’s looking to share their story, I’d recommend IndieHackers, but for hardware-focused startups/projects, check out howtoware.co. (I’m not affiliated with the site’s owner in any way, but I really like the concept and want to help spread the word to my fellow hardwarers).

I work with my small team on the exclusive co-op game Sixth Force, about father and son. Father is AI network developer and son-teenager is the artist. They find themselves trapped inside an AI network simulation and need to get out before the network takes over the world :). Btw your wish listing on Steam is very much welcome to finish the game https://store.steampowered.com/app/2830090/Sixth_Force/ :)
