#92Not sure it started during lockdown, but I made 90% of some Thomson headphones mod to go from IR to bluetooth. Technically trivial but it took me a lot more time to actually do the work. Only issue right now is that I lick physical interface, need to fit usb socket and some buttons to control the bluetooth module (this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32822579482.html I took the board from). I also had to swap the original lipo battery because it was comically small (8min lifetime) and hack a fat two-pin connector to avoid solder joints failing with vibration. So many details :)
Sound is meh but it does operate.

#93Finished my open source Virtual Reality fitness game VRWorkout (done completely in Godot)
The nice side effect is that developing a fitness game is a fitness exercise in and of itself, and a lot cheaper than the monthly $20 Supernatural plan

#94Nothing of any importance. Managed to screw myself up to the point of having constant generalized anxiety, so yeah, things are really working out here.
If you're having a panic attack, run up a flight of stairs, or hop on a bike and do a sprint around the block. Get your heart pumping.
It sounds really counter intuitive but it works.

#95I've been working on a few different things. At the beginning of the lockdown I was super into Animal Crossing so I build https://ac-catch.com. I'm happy to say that the site still gets a few thousand visitors every month.
More recently I've been working on a visual React prototyping tool, which has led to a few smaller libraries. The most recent of which is recoil-undo, which is an addon that adds undo support for the Recoil state management library. https://github.com/SawyerHood/recoil-undo

#97I've been contributing to the Andorid port of Anki (HTML based flashcards + spaced repetition) for the past few months. https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android https://github.com/david-allison-1 Knowing that I've actively been impacting students (particularly medical students) from around the world has been really good for the soul.
When did you get to the point where you were confident enough to hop on some opensource shenanigans?

#98I re-released an old Action-RTS game onto Kongregate where it's been played 45k times so far. I started a mailing list for a sequel which already has over 200 signups!

#99Added a ton of features and integration tests to my project: https://fastcomments.com/
I had thought about making something like this in the past. Really like the execution. Hope you are finding your audience and getting a sustainable business going, the world needs more of these.
