My stock discovery algo[0] averaged 21% daily increase last month and we're launching in a couple of weeks.

Post launch we're going to be working on buying/selling alerts to save people from having to watch charts all day (which I do, but I enjoy it). Also a few more features we're looking at, such as crypto analysis. But with the current bear market, I'm less enthused that it's a worthwhile avenue currently.

We are building an early childhood literacy app focused on explicitly and systematically teaching the skills of reading (e.g., phonological awareness, decoding, and sight recognition.) The mission is to democratize access to evidence-based instruction and raise the percentage of proficient US 4th grade readers from 33% [1] to an estimated 94% [2][3].

If anyone is interested in collaborating, please reach out. I am especially looking for experts in sales and marketing.

My old video game from 2004 [1] is now older than I was when I wrote it, and I recently found the C++ source and sprites in one of my archives, so I'm rewriting it in TypeScript as a personal challenge.

The C++ code no longer builds (it's missing proprietary dependencies), and I no longer have the binaries or even the hardware needed to run them (it's a PocketPC game).

If I manage to finish the rewrite, I'll get in touch with the rest of the team, to ask if they'll let me upload it somewhere public.

So far, I'm surprised by how readable my C++ code is. :-)

I'm working on NoisyCamp (https://noisycamp.com), a platform that helps Musicians finding and booking spaces to rehearse.

I mostly implemented all the features I wanted, and I'm now focusing on getting more studios on the platform.

I'm still working part time, and as a software engineer, it's a little bit harder to get motivated doing sales things than it was when programming the web app.
