As a side project to learn React and Firebase I threw together a side project in an afternoon to help couples spice up their bedroom time (very slightly NSFW, no nudity). https://pairful.com

Obviously a lot of CSS work to do, however with some better SEO and animations, it could be a useful tool with affiliate possibilities. This isn't an area I know much about/care for, however.

This is neat! Can we have an option to change from USD to EUR and select a preferred exchange? I'd like to see Bitstamp prices in euros if possible.

If I have time it will be updating my last project, http://cinetrii.com , with a more sophisticated algorithm.

It infers inspirations for queried movies using their reviews: http://cinetrii.com?i=tt5580390

Changing my job. As I'm looking for remote only in European hours - it will be quite challenging. Family issues don't allow me to work in US hours from Europe. I think this will be my full time project, as such a position is quite unique in Europe.

Besides I'm going to read a lot, and finally understand Haskell.

As for the programming stuff: write a book about databases, and write some Postgres patches for fun.
