I turned my iPad into a graphic tablet for my Linux system as I was in need of taking handwritten notes there. I posted a Show HN a few days ago but it did not get much traction [1]. You can have a look at it here: https://github.com/H-M-H/Weylus

I've been babysitting the homestay family kids, building Lego models, playing games (Worms Armageddon, Age of Empires II, Bejeweled, Mahjong, Solitaire, Rummikub, Asteroid, Alien Force, eSheep, stressreducers), and helping set up Zoom and Google Meet calls for their school.

Tonight I had a super exciting evening, as I set up a local server for MSN messenger.

The 9 year old can type quite well already, and figured out how to change her font, while the 6 year old keeps sending me nudges, dancing pigs, and audio clips yelling "MIIIIIICROPHONE". It’s great to have a local server with no minimum age limit (unlike Facebook, GMail, etc) and no risk of creepy friend requests.

I built two projects since the lock-down started.

1. https://collabqa.com

A collaborative space to share/vote ideas and questions, in real-time. This was built using Elixir and Phoenix LiveView.

2. https://memoboard.io

This is a slack app that makes sure nobody would miss your memo/task. I'm currently waiting for Slack's app review, but it's ready for use. This is my first SaaS project too. It's built using Rails 6 and Sidekiq.
