#604Given that the schools are all closed, playing with my child has become my side project.
I’m also trying to build something to keep track of enterprise product requirements, since this is the eternal bane of my day job.

#605My girlfriend (Spanish teacher) and I are in full lockdown atm (Colombia), so we started a blog project: https://triplechili.com. The idea is to find interesting content that's only available in English, and translate it to make it available in Spanish, while at the same time providing some tools for language learners. This came out of my own efforts to find content in both languages to help me learn Spanish. So we display posts in both languages and if you click on a sentence it highlights the same sentence in the other language. Right now it's just the boilerplate next.js + strapi (headless cms) that I found, but we're in the process of coming up with a proper design.

#606I'm building a search engine to find free web services.
https://freeplan.app
It's a week old now and I have around 2000 services listed.
This services rose from my own need to understand how to build something as cheap as possible. Working on this gave me the understanding how many services gives you a free plan which is good enough to solve a problem you care.

#607I've discovered the world of fountain pens! I purchased a TWSBY pen, Pilot ink, and a notebook with Tomoe River paper. I feel like I have been missing out on a truly wonderful handwriting experience for my entire adult life. I had no idea pens could be so enjoyable.

#609I've been trying to get into deep learning and natural language procession. The cold start problem is real and there is lots of material out there with varying quality.
End goal: I'm based in the US now but come from a small ethnic group in Ghana (Konkomba) and recently came to the sand realization that our language will die over time. I want to build enough tools for translating to and from English and in the process perhaps learn things about language that fit with the models of the most popular languages today.
Unrelated, going to finally setup a personal website to host pictures and 99% chance it'll be WordPress-based.

#610Since I can't play basketball with people, I built an app that helps me play basketball with myself. It uses object detection to identify me shooting and the ball going in or not and then creates a heatmap in real-time. Sort of like fitbit for basketball. I had to do some labelling myself, but it didn't take too long and it's working! I try to beat my shooting percentage from the day before. I put it on the Apple App Store to start and I'll build an android version next.
