Automated deployment systems where solar powered mesh network repeaters with two camera channels each (SBCs) come online and handshake/pair then push auto-configurations, SSH, lighttpd for IP camera images, etc. Then go to secure mode to lock it all down and configure it for operating mode. Edit: think in trees, weatherproofed with solar panels

What hardware do you use? I’ve looked into this and found power management really challenging.

I’m working on Devev, a visual programming language which integrates with TypeScript and JavaScript: https://m.imgur.com/a/zLS1g0t

I’ve been working on this on the side for awhile and hope to launch an MVP by the end of the month. I transitioned to full time on the product 2 months ago and I’ hoping to make money by providing domain specific visual programming products. I’m currently thinking about a visual build system for example.

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,…

Ideas like this are great and will hopefully some day make a real change in the world, I wish you great success for everyone's sake.

I'm learning C and x86 ASM from scratch all over again. I want to get away from the dumpster fire that web development has become and do something meaningful with my life.

Now, if I can only figure out what that is. Embedded development for medical devices, maybe?

Been working on a piece of 2D animation/vector editing software called FlowBetween for a while now: https://flowbetween.app Seemed like a good way to combine my interest in building software with my other interest in creating art. I've been spinning off the various components needed to build it as separate rust crates: interesting ones are flo_curves, desync and flo_binding.

Cool! It'd be great to have some videos of what it looks like... yeah, I can download it, but it'd be nice to see first.

A declarative, minimalist testing library for javascript.

There's one method, 'run', that takes a simple data structure that is the test suite. No need for special setup, teardown etc methods when you have objects and closures already. It can automatically run on the browser after webpack is done rebuilding, so it's good for running tests on phones.

I'm refactoring it now so it works on the console for server side stuff as well. I think I will release, but I will keep using it myself regardless of if anyone else cares because it works so well for me.
