Ask HN: What did you make during lockdown?

While we were all in lockdown a lot of makers have been making incredible things. So I decided to make Lockdown Showcase to showcase all those products.

Hahahaha....

I didn't quite keep up with my normal responsibilities while also not quite managing to keep up with the remote learning my kids were doing.

I’ve been working on a software rasterizer in C: https://git.sr.ht/~zjm/Moon3D. Coming from a web background, it’s been super fun! I just wish I had more time to keep working on it. I’ve been experimenting with tweeting my progress on it: https://twitter.com/zackmichener

I have been collecting lot of notes and needed an offline storage for the same. I created this small utility pinotes[1] that I run on Raspberry PI. The best part is I can use browser address bar to save stuff(from both desktop & mobile). I am using it for notes, todos, grocery list, watchlists, bookmarks, reminders, etc,.

I have assigned pin as keyword, so I can use following search terms in address bar

  pin grocery!rice
  pin todo!pay electricity bill
  pin bmark!htttp://news.ycombinator.com

This creates grocery.md, todo.md and bmark.md with their content followed by whatever is after ! in search string.

I learned Rust by making a simulation of COVID. Shows how herd immunity and exponential growth emerge: https://github.com/dwarkeshsp/rust-covid-simulation
