I am building a data visualization as a service product. People can upload their data (csv, json) via the user interface and choose the columns that would represent their x and y fields and then they would have a visualization of their choice. They can choose between different chart types e.g line, pie or bar charts. Also, the service has support for APIs that developers can use to remotely generate data visualizations. I'm at the point where I move hosting providers and set up the new domain name. Once I'm good to go, I would come back here and show it to the guys.

Working on a virtual mathematics tutor called Amy. Compared to traditional math teaching tools, we identify missing knowledge students have and try to "fix" them.

We try to be used as API/SDK to improve already existing math platforms. However, we do have a UI that can be used by teachers/students as well.

Working on Slack bot that can keep track of office games. It can calculate elo rating and keep leader board for multiple seasons and games. Not the best time for me to launch this as everyone is working from home, but I had this idea for a while now and wanted to make it happen.

A toy project to implement Liquid Democracy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_democracy). Seemed like an interesting idea, more on the large scale than the small, but I wanted something to work on!

As much an excuse to explore voting as it is to play with various frameworks...

I am working on Lulim Jewelry ( https://lulimjewelry.com ) which is my custom jewelry company. You can customize your ring with any engraved image (inside or out) and then I use 3D printing on the backend to produce the ring in gold or silver. My most popular customization is a fingerprint ring. You can see some pictures of my website. I spent a decent amount of time on the design software which uses fabric.js and th…

The editor is pretty spiffy. It would be nice to have a rotation method that snaps to common angles, like in most drawing tools when you hold something like shift. Now you have to be quite precise with the mouse.

I will have to bookmark this for future gift giving ideas. :)

https://cleave.app

Cleave is an application that lets users persist OS state as a "context" - saving and loading open applications, their windows (and their positions), tabs, open files/documents and so on. Think of it as a workspace or project manager from an IDE, but on the OS-level.

Started because of frequent multitasking of heavy work with limited resources. Made it because I wanted to switch between studying, working, reading, looking for an apartment, etc. without manually managing all states or consuming all resources.

I'll release an Open Beta (macOS) as soon as I finish license verification and delta updates, but I keep getting sidetracked...

Multiple projects right now: - https://getworkrecognized.com — A platform to keep a work journal/brag document/work diary and create self-reviews or promotion writeups based on your notes // Currently trying to find motivation to make onboarding nicer incl. free trial instead of paid to get more users and initial feedback; I guess partly because of that tool i got promoted to senior level recently soo wohooo - https:…

I am digging the design on your first project, thought the exampe self-review is a little too dense for me -- I'd like to see some more padding around things -- or maybe the black and white colour scheme is making things appear that way?

I actually like the idea itself, but personally I wouldn't pay for it. I can only see this as an enterprise/teams offering.

As Liquid Democracy is agnostic to how you resolve the votes on a given issue (first-past-the-post, ranked choice, etc.), I figure I can implement and play around with some of the more exotic methods there too...

A non-profit and opensource meditation app called Medito. https://meditofoundation.org

It's built in Flutter which I am loving. We recognised that there were a lot of Meditation apps that had very expensive monthly fees, profiting from people's suffering and a practice that has been around for thousands of years. We've been around only for about a year and we've had around 400,000 downloads and are quite often to top search result for 'meditation' on the Play Store. Very exciting!
