This started as a way for me to learn RoR and angular a long while back but it ended up becoming my passion project... https://www.climbcation.com is basically a wiki style site that lets you filter through world-class climbing destinations. A lot of climbing destination catalogs don't have much structured data so Climbcation gives people a chance to filter through with parameters which are useful for planning trips.

It's not exactly the most useful site given the pandemic but hopefully people will derive some value out of it when this is all over.

I’m currently working on a project that started 1.5 years ago and has been consuming most, if not all, of my time outside of my day job.

It’s raising a child, and it’s left absolutely zero time and motivation to do anything else (I love it though).

I’m working on ga-insights.com

Businesses are seeing insane volatility right now and we provide real-time alerts and reports for everything from revenue spikes to page speed lag to conversion rate drops from certain browsers.

If you have a Google Analytics tag on your site, you can set up the platform in a few clicks.

Working on a Twilio auto-responder. It is pretty simple, but also building a front end so people can manage the keywords. I have all of that working, my next step is to put an actual password on it. I'm looking at Okta, but I'm not sure if that isn't total overkill. It is going to never get used by more than 10 people and mostly just by 1 or 2.

For the moment I just have the least secure setup possible using some JavaScript to hide the HTML until you add a password. Anyone who can inspect the page can bypass it.

I am working on an online service that helps foreigners to learn Japanese by reading native material. I have been frustrated while learning this language because the Kanjis makes smooth reading almost impossible, and for me it has always been the fastest way to fluency in a language. I am building a browser extension that will help anyone to read and browse the Japanese internet. Here in Tokyo we are not quarantined,…

I just finished learning hiragana! Looking forward to your extension!

A Minecraft server in Rust [1]. The hope is to make it obscenely parallel with actor-like design (Minecraft chunks are nearly perfect for this). The real challenge so far has been the complete and utter mess that is the MC protocol; there's two different forms of UTF8 in the damn thing and there's NBT and JSON (which achieve the same thing). NBT itself has 2 ways to encode i32 and i64 arrays. So I haven't reached the bit where I play with parallelism yet.

A lot of my friends are electronic music producers and DJs, and many of them have now lost all or most of their income from live events. I made a super hacky site to host a "TV Guide" for all the online streams these artists are hosting. It's been a mix of tutorials, production sessions, and DJs sets so far.

The hack: It's a Google Calendar embedded into the README of a default Github Pages theme. Open to PRs lol.

I’m working on a tool that allows developers to record and playback interactive, guided walkthroughs of a codebase, directly from their editor. It’s called CodeTour, and it’s currently available as a VS Code extension: https://aka.ms/codetour . I built it because I frequently find myself looking to onboard (or “reboard”) to a project, and not knowing exactly where to start. After speaking to a bunch of other develope…

this is great idea. you need guided tour when you visit a museum as vast as louver
