I'm working on a 2.0 release for newLISP on Rockets: http://newlisponrockets.com

It's a rapid development web framework written in newLISP, with inspiration (and many many ideas) taken from Dragonfly.

I had stopped working on it for a few years while I worked on other projects, but I wanted to make a new and updated personal website, so I've updated the framework to also include a basic blog with comments and a discussion forum, and some simple customization options for administrators.

Eating my own dogfood (as it were) has been an interesting and fun experience. I now have three sites running on the latest version of Rockets 2.0.

I really missed working with LISP and it's a lot of fun to get back to it!

I'm building a service to effectively "integration test" GraphQL services each time a deployment occurs (via Webhook).

https://onlineornot.com

At the moment it tests GraphQL queries at given intervals, but I've been struggling to find people (other than me) who need the service.

Indoor vegetable and fish farm, i.e. aquaponics, in a fully circular production system.

We are building our pilot installation right now. Additionally we got two government grants: one to set it up monitored with sensors, and a production management system, for future automation, traceability and transparency for the food chain; the other to start taking in food waste and converting into fish food via insect larvae, closing the circle.

Sweden has recently adopted a food strategy which puts a lot of emphasis on local, circular food production, and there is a lot of interesting stuff happinging right now.

I've been building out a product with two other developers for over a year now - and we're finally just a couple of weeks from launching.

It's a drop in e-commerce system that allows people to start selling products on an existing site very quickly (a similar space as Snipcart).

Now just building out the marketing and wondering if anyone will want to use it.

Working on a desktop version of my webdev tool SnipCSS:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/snipcss/hbdnoadcma...

The current version is a Chrome Extension that extracts every CSS rule needed to rebuild the DOM subtree of a selected element. Unlike other tools it never uses computed styles and uses the actual DevTools protocol to get the CSS. The current extension doesn't handle CSS specificity or inheritance correctly, so I'm waiting until I fix those things before promoting it. Actually this comment is the first time I've told anyone about it.

What Got Done, a minimalist tool for teammates to share weekly status updates with each other. https://whatgotdone.com/ 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/

I have a "lab book", but I stopped writing into it. It mostly contains information i gathered about a particular section of the code base or how a solution might work or what I learned about our business domain. But over time the constant context switching of topics I had to work on made me stop it.

I would like to revive it. However, i want the information in there (the lessons learned this week) to be less project/issue specific, but more transcending and transferable to new problems/environments.

Do you have a set of questions you pose yourself whose answers guide the write-up and make it a worthwhile knowledge vault?

Not sure if I expressed myself in a coherent way.

sounds interesting. Considering posting updates when you design or evaluate concepts or ideas about the internals, designs, and philosophy behind its abstractions (I guess there is more than tables related to tables and some syntactic sugar on top)

Is there a public link to your thesis? Can your approach be used to do feature segmentation of 3D (triangle mesh) data?
