I made an LED simulator! I've been building an ESP32 LED framework for a couple of years, and thanks to some great advances in AVR emulation, we can now emulate an Arduino in the browser and preview the patterns. I also made it into a desktop app that can flash a new firmware to a real device over wifi. Super fun. https://editor.soulmatelights.com/
I learned the basics of Houdini to turn Lidar data into visualizations [1], as well as take a point cloud scan of my wife to drive a particle animation [2]. On the non-tech side of things, our garden has been a real source of happiness. We planted everything from seeds with the kids and grew pollinator flowers, vegetables, etc. [3] One of my favorite projects was finally making a sourdough starter and taking my pizza…
Amazing work! How did you do the 3d scanning?

Awesome, thank you for the info. Anki is a tool I use and love but I know very little about the behind the scenes work. >* User onboarding & UX - We get tons of bad reviews: "All my cards have been deleted" - this is because we fail to explain how Anki/Spaced Repetition works and that we take control of scheduling. People download AnkiDroid expecting flashcards, and we can do much better in this area. Somewhat relate…
> Somewhat related, but I would like a way to "cram" cards (ie. temporarily review all cards in a deck, in random order, without affecting anything about their spaced repetition timing). I feel like this must exist but I haven't found it. Do you know how to do this? That's a strange one... it exists, (Create Filtered Deck - Long Press - Options - Untick Reschedule) but only works well in the V2 Scheduler. The V1 sche…
I built lesstabs - a browser extension that closes and archives old inactive tabs automatically after 24h. It then lists them when you open a new tab. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lesstabs/gpdnlknek...

Thanks!! No official roadmap (such is Open Source), but: * Rust Conversion (got a proof of concept, need to productionise it) - Anki Desktop has moved to Rust. We can unify all of the platform, and remove most of our backend code and maintenance burden. * Android 11 has made significant changes to how applications store files on the device (Scoped Storage). I expect this will be a nightmare to deal with: https://deve…

When I am strongly constrained in the time-domain, I've found the older Leitner method to be the most efficient. I also have a lot of difficulty performing this in Anki except by resorting to absurd time controls and manual resets that are difficult to explain to friends.
I'd love to provide Anki with a strict Leitner mode for last-minute cramming. I'm just not sure the Anki project would support this, as I've seen them be fairly dismissive of it in the past.
It's very exciting that this is in Rust.
I launched my first webapp https://taaalk.co . It's a platform for public text-based conversations. It's been great so far, I've gotten to know very interesting people and things through having discussions on it. (Anyone can make a Taaalk though.)
Curious to know how you went about getting new users on the platform!

I would love to contribute to Anki, especially learning that it's Rust. I know Anki's time-based space repetition is highly effective for long-term learning, but I've found it frustrating when I or my friends really just needed to cram the night before an exam. When I am strongly constrained in the time-domain, I've found the older Leitner method to be the most efficient. I also have a lot of difficulty performing th…

i thought anki was written in python - was it re-written in rust?
I went from knowing nothing of French to reading 20 thousand leagues under the sea by Jules Verne in French (the original language) It's not that big of an achievement since I'm Brazilian and I already speak Italian, the romance languages are somewhat similar. But I'm happy and I want to keep learning new languages because that proved to be a rewarding experience all steps of the way. I've used Lingq and Memrise, if…
Was going to ask what you had used. Brazilian too, but know only Spanish (kinda), and English. Will check out these two. Thanks and congrats!!!
