Ask HN: Side project you're working on?

I had a second episode of extremely high blood pressure in 2017. It's a long story, but I ended up being hospitalized in a cardiac surveillance unit. A big part of my cardiac issue was that I had allowed my overall fitness to drop quite dramatically.

So, I'm working on a fitness goal app. Essentially, I track my blood pressure/heart rate along with my diet, exercise, etc. And, I'm working on finding correlations, with my end goal being that my app will help me optimize my workouts and diet to help me achieve whatever my particular fitness goal is. In this case, my goal is blood pressure related, but soon, it will be long distance running related.

Having allowed myself to get so far out of shape when I know hypertension is a problem causes me to seriously doubt whether I'm intelligent enough to pull this off.

However, my end goal isn't to build an amazing product, rather it's that if I build it, I'll be motivated to beta test it to hell. When I was being wheeled in for my angiogram, I promised myself that if I ever need another one, they'd wheel me in in marathon shape.

Been working more with Arduinos and lower level stuff to offset the high level work I do during normal work hours.

Everything should be on git.captnemo.in (on phone, can't give links)

- Writing code to manage my home server using Docker, Terraform and some glue (nebula)

- reviving the Hindustan Time hatetracker, which was a newspaper project tracking hate crimes, but was shut down after some government pressure.

- zomato tracker that keeps track of restaurants that open or close in Bangalore every week. Plan is to make a twitter it

- hn classics ebook. I scraped and converted a lot of the articles from the HN Classics post into a Jekyll website. Plan to get a PDF/EPUB

- board game implementations for 2 player games with special consideration on making them scriptable. Starting with MCTS but want to make a generic framework

The side project I'm currently working on is trying to get my sleep schedule under control. I'm finding that worrying about the "competition" at all hours is preventing me from getting enough sleep at night. So I put a hold on a lot of my programming problems in order to get my real world problems squared away first.
