I'm working on a task and field management tool for non-desktop workforce.

We were supposed to launch it to the market next month but because of the situation we are in we are adding a few more features that will make it even better to ensure proper communication in hectic environments and with a better overview of geo-fenced task lists and we are not going to charge until we are out on the other side of this.

You can see some screens here:

I've been chipping away at a New York Public Library python client. They don't have an api so it's just scraping. Their website is just painfully slow to login and check the status of books so I'm building this for fun. https://github.com/RayBB/nypl-patron/pull/1/files

Edit: I also just finished a blog post about Zhong Tai in software architecture: https://medium.com/@RayBB/what-is-zhong-tai-front-end-back-e...

I've built the website quarantaenehelden.org with some friends. It's a platform to connect people from risk groups or those who are under quarantine with those who want to help out.

It's been a pretty wild ride and we've grown a lot since our launch 7 days ago, but building our infra with react + firebase made it pretty smooth in terms of scaling.

I bought an old trench coat from a thrift store and outfitted it with 350 programmable LEDs , an Arduino to control them, and a 24 AA battery bank for a music festival last year, it was a hit. I'm currently working on adding another 150 LEDs, fixing the power system (I burnt out the Arduino after a couple hours), and looking into adding a microphone and learning some sound programming to make the suit change colours…

No way. Show me.

I'm working on a self-hosted app to track family history and stories. I've got photos going back to the 20s and my dad seems to have so many stories I want to capture around them. I also had an uncle pass recently and finding photos of him for the services was so manual. I'd love to have some photo-tagging of sorts. Perhaps allow family to upload their stash of photos.

It's also giving me a fun chance to dive deeper into ASP.NET Core/React/TypeScript, something I work with professionally, but just haven't had the time to fiddle.

I wrote this tool (started on Thursday) called Doodle that is designed to give kids a quick drawing canvas. It's a super simple app that I made for my son who kept drawing over all of my Apple notes. You can draw, then press the button in the top right to quickly erase your drawing (Like an Etch A Sketch).

Someone nerd-sniped me and I added in the ability to record a video as well. Technically, you could use it to do quick 5-10 minute drawing/narrated lessons and export them for educational purposes.

I've just finished off (within the last hour) my version of Asteroids, which I started with enthusiasm two or three years back, then did very little after getting the basics of the game working: https://arcade.ly/games/asteroids/ Now I've finally added all the stuff I wanted to (black holes, satellites, power-ups) so it's time to pick up another project I started a long time ago and haven't really done much on: my ve…

super fun!
