My fantasy league moved from sleeper to espn, but espn didn't offer the same weekly accolades, so I made my own using ESPNs api. https://fantasy.chubb.dev

#734I’m working on a simulator for a subset of VHDL in Racket Scheme, because I’ve recently become interested again in digital logic and FPGAs.
I’m starting with manually translating VHDL into Racket to get a feel for it and how to model it. The goal is to implement a language extension for VHDL with the help of the Beautiful Racket book.

#735My most simple and strangely useful app: https://pythonlist.netlify.app/
It just takes a list and makes it a python list (with quotes and commas)

Haha wow, byebyefitness is such a darn good idea. Kudos for thinking of that! Maybe one day you could get acquired by PaperKarma or a similar mission-aligned business.
Thank you! Wow! Never heard of PaperKarma but I could definitely use it. I’m extremely interested in honest, pro-consumer software but the revenue doesn’t seem to be there. I actually took down my blog where I was writing about alternative monetization strategies and creating pro consumer/privacy friendly software because I felt that it could give the wrong impression to potential employers who don’t share my values…

FWIW I'd be interested in reading a blog on this topic. It would be great if you could share your thoughts anonymously, or one day get to a point where you have enough "F-you Money" to disregard what employers might think.

#739I was always terrible at getting out of bed. I tried some alarm clock apps that gave you challenges (solve a math problem, scan a barcode, etc). That worked until I realized I could just kill the app and stay in bed. I realized I needed something outside of the app to push me. So I ended up building Nuj. https://nuj.app It’s an alarm clock app that charges me $10 if I don’t get up and scan my toothpaste barcode withi…
Brilliant idea, but I could see this being a pain if your mobile network is down. I suppose if you have both wifi and mobile data it's pretty unlikely that you won't be able to respond to the nudge in time

#740I created an app to track the scores and events for our annual family decathlon. Every year I learn what’s new with SwiftUI and I make the app a little better for everyone. It has notifications when events are coming up and it keeps a record of everyone’s scores in every event. It’s fun and working on it reminds me that programming is a creative act that doesn’t always have to be for profit.
