Running a fintech startup - real time, 24/7 B2B settlement, and we're never in the money. I only wish I had time for side projects!

Working on a fully automated UV unwrapper for 3D meshes. Its basically the process of flattening a 3D object down to a square. used mainly for texturing. http://www.ministryofflat.com

Pretty cool, and great video, very clear and understandable.

I'm building a lightweight framework for A/B testing on sites.

It's like Optimizely except it weighs just 5kb, is self hosted and allows you to build and launch split tests from inside your IDE or via CD.

That sounds fun. Do you have your work in progress already published somewhere?

In my free time I've been working on a 2D MMORPG engine in C#. I'm working on the networking code right now, working toward being able to connect and move around the game world. I'm enjoying the network code, but I'm really looking forward to getting back to shader code and implementing dynamic lighting at some point down the road. Wanting to build an MMORPG was the main thing that got me interested in software devel…

That must be so fulfilling and a huge thing to be proud of. Good luck :)

Thanks! It's very fulfilling. Part of me always feels like I should be working on something else that I could eventually monetize. But this has been my passion project for a long time, and I've learned so much - both now and back when I was just starting out - that I think it's worth it personally.

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,…

What a cool thing to be working on! What scale does your pilot installation produce at?

I am working on moving the interface of my notes app to Javascript (so it can be a PWA). To do this, I need to learn Javascript, so I am learning javascript by writing little games.

Working on (and have been for far too long) a side project I call "unearth". It is a web app that lets users easily navigate and rediscover their Reddit saved things. There are a couple other projects that scrape the surface of saved things management (Reddit Manager and Savvit to name a couple), but being a developer I wanted to make my own version that was a bit more elegant, both in terms of engineering and UI/UX.
