I have 3 big ones. - Nulis - a tree text editor for writers https://nulis.io/ I have built a beta that was very well received, now it's time to clean up the code(rewriting it from scratch), add some cool features, and follow the roadmap to complete v1.0. - Helix - a habit tracking app https://helix.startuplab.io Designed this app mostly for myself, but I think it turned out great, has a lot of potential, and users se…

Is there a "long-term" view for Helix where you can zoom out and see a map of your activity? Kind of like GitHub's contribution graph. I'd use this, looking forward to a V1.

Yep, there is! Open the menu and click "Calendar".

I will keep working on CryptoProphet.co - a smart alert system to keep you updated on any unusual changes of prices of your favourite cryptocurrencies. We send our cryptocurrency price alerts through Telegram. https://cryptoprophet.co/

What kind of algo are you using to detect changes?

Last few months I've been building digital musical instruments for Android [0], I guess I'll continue working on that. So far I've built a few 'instruments' that emulate traditional instruments (guitar, organ, choir...) that you can play in real time on your phone. During next year I would like to take advantage of interactive platform, to make the instrument actually respond to your playing (and then to augment it).…

Very cool! I love the guitar mode especially (as long as I'm leaning far to the left to get a clean sound haha).

I was wondering, what are you using to make this? Are the sounds sampled, or is there digital synthesis going on?

A small programming language, lisp-inspired (no parens with python's offside rule) targeting js (and lua later). An example:

- input: https://p.sicp.me/gti5L.lisp

- output: https://p.sicp.me/bRaaf.js

It's written in lua (915 lines at the moment). I do that to help me with the building of a programmable voice assistant (https://github.com/slasheva).

BTW this topic is a great idea. 4chan has a daily programming thread like that.

To finish the implementation of an XMPP server written in Go (Golang) https://github.com/ortuman/jackal

Curious, why not instead contribute your valuable Go expertise towards matrix (specifically the homeserver called Dendrite)? Certainly don't want to take away any of your passion for xmpp...but if you haven't read up on on matrix in general, I encourage you to do so.

For matrix in general, see: https://matrix.org/

For diff. between matrix and xmpp, see: https://matrix.org/docs/guides/faq.html#what-is-the-differen...

For Dendrite - matrix's homeserver written in Go - see: https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite

Cheers!
