working on generative art which in my view already succeeded as I enjoyed making it :)

https://dialectic.design/project/genuary-2021

Would be nice if its picked up by some art blogs or displayed in an art gallery or something but don't really care, what is "success" anyways.

I made this iOS game:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/two-birds-one-stone/id15396463...

I have wanted to be able to play this game for a long time, and probably thanks to pandemic, I did the work to enable it to be shared with others. It has made a grand total of 3 sales this year, and that isn't really bothering me (the main frustration is the apple developer fee...)

There is various info (including a trailer of sorts) here:

A native GUI library https://github.com/yue/yue . It was a disaster when I announced it on Hacker News, and I got numerous harassments from strangers. But anyway 3 years since then and I'm still working on it. Edit 1: 2 => 3 years Edit 2: If anyone is interested, I wrote a blog on the mistakes I made http://cheng.guru/blog/2018/02/18/lessons-learnt-from-open-s... .

Re: the disaster - had to look it up [1], but it didn't help that you didn't answer any of the (pretty serious) questions raised in response to your announcement. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15218067

Please be kind. This thread is about self-promotion.

There's no need to dig up his past just to flog a dead horse.

Armyknife.net: a website with all kinds of developer related tools (yes, the 1000th one, I don't care :P I just enjoy creating it and don't expect any big source of income from it): https://armyknife.net/

I didn't know of tools like this and I like this one! Well done, I'm bookmarking it :)

Authentic: https://authenticstats.com

It's a simple app for influencers & brands to make life easier.

Built it for myself so I don't have to manually find & collect stats from my social media when working on campaigns & collabs.

Connects to the social network APIs, loads your posts and stats. Using the Report builder you can add the posts you created and it shows your stats.

Recently made it open for everybody.

Brands can also sign up to get the reports & create campaigns.

Been a bit neglected lately as I am busy with other projects. Friends & other influencers use it at the moment.

https://piazza.photos/ This past month I built a photojournal blog to host my street photography & assorted other shots from this crazy year. I both wanted a place for my photos to be viewable in higher resolution than Instagram, as well as to establish an ongoing chronological log of my life as it unfolds - as some kind of crazy experiment I will probably soon regret. I built this from scratch with Next.js and Types…

I like your photos!

It would be nice if one is able to follow your site using RSS :)

https://loodio.com - A smart device for bathroom privacy I built it for myself because I just hate not having privacy living with my girlfriend. Then some other people enjoyed it and I made it into a product that is launching on Kickstarter soon.

Do you know of the Japanese version? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilets_in_Japan#The_Sound_Pri... Edit: In a Shared Apartment we once connected a Radio and a Disco Ball to the light Switch. It was a windowless guest bathroom, we completely painted it black. Fun times.

It would be really funny to play some audio clips from south park.
