#72I started building PerfBeacon - https://PerfBeacon.com an automated alternative to manually running Google Lighthouse tests.
I couldn't find a service that could tell me if the latest deploy of my web app would make it slower, so I decided to build it.

#74I started building this in January and am at the point of sending out for prototype PCBs: https://github.com/roscopeco/rosco_m68k - MC68010-based single-board computer
I can really recommend a project like this as the opportunities for learning are vast!

#75I built a 3D graph visualisation of the Gypsy Jazz scene around the world called the DjangoVerse ( https://www.londondjangocollective.com/djangoverse/). I used Django (obviously..), D3, and React.
It shows which players gigged together, and colours the players based on the country they live in. It's a wiki, so anyone can add themselves or other players, as well as add a link to a YouTube video to promote their music.
A bunch of people (Gypsy jazz a pretty small world!) added themselves (there are over 200 players on it now) then it died down.
I also wrote a blog post about the design process: https://www.jeremiecoullon.com/2019/11/27/djangoverse/
It was fun and meant I got to learn a bit of React and D3 !

#76I created and launched Storry https://storry.io/ https://apps.apple.com/us/app/storry/id1485126254?ls=1
Wow, that's everything I like about snapchat without everything I dislike. Gonna have to try to convince some friends to hop on it.
That'll be awesome! Yeah, have so many features planned. Will be releasing updates soon!

So messenger but ephemeral?
In this initial version, theres photo sharing. But yes, planning to integrate messaging system as well.
I take photos and record videos on my phone. All my friends and family too. I used to share them on different media sharing platforms. Used to have a meaningful discussion/conversation on the shared content with the people I know.
Things changed and got worse. I hated infinite scrolling and public feed which I still do. I never really liked the idea of "liking/hearting" - rarely "liked" stuff. Also, these days it's all about influencers and things get lost in the feed.
Keeping all this in mind, inspired by good aspects of the existing platforms and really based on what I needed, I decided to build Storry.

#79Tomorrow I’ll be launching https://typehut.com , a super simple publishing platform for blogs, changelogs, newsletters, announcements, etc that I’ve been building during this last month.
Do you have any examples? I like the idea but I don't know what the end product will look like.

Sure! Just created this example site with some dummy content: https://example.typehut.com/
Right now there's only one template available, but I plan on adding custom templating mid-January.
(It's fully functional btw, so don't hesitate and sign up!)
