What Got Done, a minimalist tool for teammates to share weekly status updates with each other.

I'm a solo developer and find it gratifying to set aside a half hour at the end of each week to write down what I did. Otherwise all the work just becomes a blur. I wrote a longer blog post about the motivation behind it here: https://mtlynch.io/status-updates-to-nobody/

Grid engine - https://www.planimeter.org/grid-sdk/ I'm working on Grid engine 9, which should release some big improvements to out-of-the-box multiplayer support. It's the only source code-based Lua game engine that I know of with first-class multiplayer support that has a dogfood project. Everything else out there is roll-your-own w/ LuaSockets. I've been writing it for the last few years due to not being able to fi…

I used to use Lua all the time. It's the language I learned after QBASIC and what I spent most of my teenage years writing. I'm definitely going to stay up to date on Grid. This looks neat!

I left my silicon valley job and am building a speedrunning analytics startup out of a side project I started 6 years ago. https://splits.io

This is really cool! I quit my big tech job a year ago, too, so I can definitely relate to the joy of focusing on software centered around something you're passionate about.

I have had a pretty incredible urge lately to work on some similar software. I'd love an app, for example, like Committed (linked below) that had SIMPLE live-collaboration functionality. Figured I would demo that pretty soon, make a site, and see if it could gain some traction. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses.

Nothing too crazy, just got done setting up OpenWRT this week, but am having a few issues getting ipv6 working properly.

Also setting up a mediawiki server for the family, mainly so I can get all of my mom's great recipies and share them with the rest of the family :)

I'm spending the summer researching the implications of raising taxes on tobacco in low and middle income countries (basically to see how big of an opportunity it is for saving lives/earning additional govt revenue that can be funneled to useful areas)

Freelancing and preparing for vacation!

Me too! I'm freelancing out of Tokyo right now and will be in Vancouver next month.

Continuing my deep dive into TypeScript and particularly its type expressions.

I keep running head first into terms I’ve only loosely heard before and having to wander off to find out what they mean before coming back, it’s been absolutely fascinating though.

Thanks for checking it out!

I can't find the link you're referring to. Did you mean to add a link to the bottom of your post?
