#72Write a book on Vue.js.
I have been working with Vue for the last 3 months and it has been a very pleasant and rewarding experience. While Vue's official guide is a wonderful resource, I feel that it doesn't delve into topics like Vuex, VueRouter, interacting with an existing API, integrating Vue into your existing project (Rails, Node.js etc) etc.
I have started writing a small book that starts off with a gentle introduction to Vue.js and then walks the readers through building a complete SPA (Single Page Application) similar to Reddit/Twitter.
This year, I want to spend the first couple of months finishing this book.
For those interested, I have created a small subscription form - http://eepurl.com/cvUk5D. You can add your email here to get notified when I launch this book and also get access to the early release.

#73Simple "email this link to me" service. If I find something interesting, I want to be able to click a button (chrome extension/bookmarklet) that will extract the text from that page, format it nicely and email it to me (preferably to a separate Gmail label). I can then read it from my email client (iOS/Android email app) during my commute. I don't want the overhead of a complete app like Evernote or Pocket.
Readability does that - well sorta. It sends it to your Kindle.

#74Multiple things...
Blogging, in the hope I have stuff to say people are interested in.
Maybe going to more meetups, but I don't know about this yet, most meetups are boring.
Doing more cardio in hopes of better endurance.
Getting rid of the fat-part of my 13kg gains I got last year. hopefully it will be more muscle than I fear, haha.
Software wise, I don't know. My girlfriends sometimes have nice app ideas, which I then build for them as a sideproject, but this often just takes 2-4 days.

You have been working with something for 3 months and you think you are proficient enough to warrant writing a book about it?

Yes, I have shipped a production ready application that uses Vue.js extensively.
Also, this book is an attempt to cement my own understanding of Vue. I don't think there is anything wrong with that.

#77I am hoping to finish up a new version of my food dishes by location project https://bestfoodnearme.com I decided to teach myself Go while I wrote it. The original database was a combination of redis and boltdb. I am moving things to postgresql and for the frontend bourbon.io
It has been a slow process, but I am keeping at it little by little.

#78This isn't a "side project" (I'm not going to make money from it, and it's also something that I work on at my job), but I've been working on umoci[1] which is a way to create and manipulate OCI container images. At (open)SUSE we're planning on using it to create container images inside the Open Build Service. I've also got a few ideas about RPM distribution of OCI images that I'm quite excited about, and hopefully I…
This sounds interesting but the use case seems very specific to your internal infratstruture and tooling.
Can you elaborate a bit on use cases?
