I began work on hyperscript[2]: a language designed to embed well in HTML, inspired by HyperTalk (the programming language from HyperCard). I hope to develop it into a general purpose programming language for the Javascript runtime.

I also launched a podcast about Computer Science research called Segfault.
Reddit seems to be updating their old posts to rank higher on search engines, so if you search by time frame on Google, it shows a date that is way more recent than when the post was created. I decided to create this extension so that I could see the correct data about Reddit posts to save me unnecessary clicks into old/empty threads.

The idea was to pick the best features of Gradle (parallelization, incremental build, dependencies between tasks, clean, watch...) without being tied to the JVM. It is built in Rust with the goal to be an order of magnitude faster than Gradle.
The core features are already functional, and I'm now porting the engine from a thread-based model to an event loop (using Actix).
I am looking for feedback about the project description, documentation, and ergonomy. Feel free to add Github issues or comment existing ones.
I resuscitated a 20-year-old-website that was somewhat popular back in the day called storysprawl.com. It's private now, but I have friends join me on Sunday nights to write chapters together - we join Zoom, we write, we read them to each other. It's kind of like choose-your-own-adventure combined with round-robin fiction: Read chapter one, there are choices at the bottom, make a choice. If the next chapter is writte…

not to belittle what you've built, but i really lament how much legal considerations overhang our collective psyches, especially on the internet, and how much we believe in legalese and lawyers to protect us from potential issues. both the risks and the protections are unduly outsized in our minds.
by default, we each own the copyrights to our own words. posting our words on websites should implicitly give those websites permission to display (perform) those words (or not). we shouldn't need pages of jargon to spell that out, and no amount of expensive precognition is going to ward off even most potential misconstruals (malicious or not).
It currently checks BC, Alberta and Canadian National Parks. US parks to come soon. It took a while to get national parks on there because they don't send that data in JSON, it's all html bleh.
Zettelkasten based note taking app. Uses your personal Google Drive as the backend (I'd like to add Dropbox backend at some point too) so no third party storage is needed, built as PWA to provide access from every device with native-like experience. Still some polishing to do but it's getting there.
I created a simple manual budgeting app with flutter called Go Budget, which is primarily optimized for entering purchases as easily as possible, but also provides income and bill tracking/reminders and a savings goal tracker. It is currently in beta but I hope to launch in the next two weeks. https://gobudget.io Edit: iOS beta: https://testflight.apple.com/join/4IMtFylH Android: closed beta - email support@gobudget.…
How'd you like Flutter?
I also found the framework itself to have a much lower learning curve than either native platform, with almost all of the APIs being very intuitive (to me anyway). The plugin ecosystem is also very good for a still relatively young framework.
I initially had some concerns with minor issues flutter had with occasionally janky animations and slightly slow android startup times, but in the last 3 months these have been addressed and Go Budget now works better than most native apps on my Pixel 3. iOS testers also report good performance/feel.
I would highly recommend it for any CRUD/data driven app, and honestly think that its capabilities for more hardware-specific apps are maturing nicely.
