#62Reading a bunch of computational social science papers and trying to figure out whether pivoting into social science halfway through a CS degree was a wise choice :)
In general: trying to figure out if academia is worth it or whether I should go join a startup afterwards :P

#63These days I keep tinkering with min (https://min-lang.org). It is a small but fairly batteries-included concatenative programming language I've been working on for years.
Not many people use it of course, and it's not going to ever become mainstream, but I am using it everyday to perform small tasks and also more recently even to build small APIs for other personal projects. Plus I find that working on your own programming language is a very rewarding experience, and it stimulates creative thinking.
I actually go through phases... I have a few open source projects I keep coming back to every few months to fix issues, add small (or big) features, tweaks etc. the most notable ones are listed on my personal page (https://cevasco.org) -- it almost feels like I have my own very quirky and opinionated software ecosystem :)

#65I'm trying to get Joplin Server[0] to production-ready status. Mostly doing a lot of refactoring to clean up the code and add test units at the moment, and learning how to best package and distribute a server using Docker.

#66I'm working on an app that turns brokerage accounts into a fully customizable robo-advisor. Create a target portfolio made up of stocks/ETFs, and our app will keep everything balanced and fully invested. We're starting with this simple use case of keeping a balanced portfolio, but really we see brokerage accounts as a financial operating system that's lacking good software. We're already on TD Ameritrade and Interact…
This is very cool. Well done.

#67I'm working on a game builder to make remote team events more fun — imagine a trivia or Jackbox-style game customized specifically for your company or team. The UI is mirrored after a presentation/slide builder (e.g. Powerpoint) but you can add all sorts of deeper interactions like multiple choice questions, vote-for-your-favorite-answer games, and even image uploads.
It's called Slides with Friends: https://slideswith.com
As you might expect this started as a pandemic side project, but it's since turned into a full-fledged company and we've had lots of demand to solve the very real and very difficult problem of creating team connection/cohesion remotely.
Message me if you're interested in this space, I'd love to talk!

#68I am working on ultra-low latency emulation. I have a RISC-V emulator (https://github.com/fwsGonzo/libriscv) that I am creating to fork itself really fast and use almost no working memory. Programs can make do with 64kb memory, which includes the emulator itself and everything it uses.

Those measurements are from a production environment, meaning these numbers are very real! In a synthetic benchmark the fork happens at just ~200 nanoseconds, and it's really a meaningless number.

#70A social media website for music enthusiasts. Not the first to build this, but we (1 software dev and 1 graphic designer) hope to bring something new to the table that other sites like Last.fm, RYM and Reddit don't. We have 3,500 users and gaining about a dozen per day. ~300 DAU and ~1500 MAU.
Right now you can sign up and connect your Spotify account. It will automatically record your listening history to build a music profile, which we'll expand on in the future. You can add people as friends, comment on other people's profiles. We're working on supporting other streaming services and building a reliable revenue model.
