We used the time to work on renovating an old historic vault, in order to make it an outdoor vault / barbecue spot.

We actually already started renovating before the lockdown. But since there are not so many leisure activities anymore, now we took almost all our free time to focus on this private project.

Some days ago I started documenting it on Instagram, if you want to check it out: https://www.instagram.com/gewoelbefichtelgebirge/ (texts are in German).

Now that I already have a Step 1 business that I'm surviving on. I'm looking to move up to Step 2 or 3.

I have been reading up a lot on customer acquisition especially from 0 - 100 and also tweeting abt it (https://twitter.com/p0larboy). If anyone has a good resource on this, please let me know.

I’ve released a side project I’ve been working on for a bit.

I use Notes on OSX quite a bit (and GEdit on Linux...) for gists, reminders, cheatsheets etc... Mainly to re-use code bits and idioms I find useful. But then I switch computers / OSes quite a bit and I don’t have these notes with me everywhere.

I wanted to solve this problem for me in a way that was compatible with my usual workflow (copy / paste!).

So I built https://www.sheethub.io it is very Beta ATM, but if you find a use for it I'm happy :)

I wanted to use a Jamstack, so I made LockdownLinks

https://www.lockdownlinks.co.uk

It's a simple site that features some links you might find handy during the lockdown. I've tried to put together a list that doesn't feature obvious choices.

I used Vue w/ Gridsome, it's hosted on GitHub with Netlify handling deployments. Honestly, it's been a dream to develop on. Gridsome is very user friendly, and I learned about GraphQL while making it (something I'd been meaning to learn about for a while) Using Netlify and having 'git push' automatically kicking off a build and a deploy without me having to do anything else has been so convenient. I'm definitely going to use a similar stack in the future.

Working hard on Cutter, an open-source, free and libre Reverse Engineering project. It's cross platform and supports tons of architectures. A debugger was recently introduced, as well as native integration with multiple Decompilers

https://cutter.re https://github.com/radareorg/cutter

using it recently to reverse engineering some Gameboy ROMs, embedded devices and the usual x86 malware

hopefully more people will come to work on this great project :)
