Hi all,

Been experimenting a lot with Mobile development recently and learned Flutter. I am currently trying to build a collectibles app for games like Pokemon Go. Was curious to see what you guys are up to these days!

Recently it was mostly updating my wiki (https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/knowledge).

Now, it's working on https://github.com/learn-anything/learn-anything and picking it up again.

I got into scuba diving a year ago and every dive you're supposed to log data about the dive like duration, location, type of air etc. It's partly for safety, partly for curiosity, and partly to prove that you are as experienced as you say you are for advanced trips. It seems like 75% of people use paper booklets, 5% a myriad of shitty apps and the rest (like me) don't bother logging because it's so tedious.

So I'm putting together a really simple "Strava for diving" app in react native to suit my needs and then at the same time having a reason to learn a bit about go for the server.

Also @op one of my coworkers told me she built something to track some Disney collectibles game, and she gets thousands of users which is really cool, but you won't believe the entitlement from people asking for bug fixes on a free web app lol

Is this so I can search something bothering me on my screen? Or do you mean it's for searching my own personal screenshots on the device?

I've always wanted to be able to do some development work on my phone, or my iPad. So I'm building a tool that let's me build and deploy backend APIs easily, and without much code.

I had a ton, but I just discovered LuaJIT and its C FFI was a thing and now I'm going to be going down that rabbithole and rewriting a lot of code for projects I haven't even started.

I hate these threads, by the way. I always want to have something cool finished by the time one pops up. "Writing vector and animation modules for SDL's float API that will eventually appear in a roguelike, or shooter, I haven't decided which" doesn't have punch.

I'm also working on and off on a HN client for Godot. It basically works.

Also working on the Anarki forum very, very slowly.

Unfortunately I'm a magpie and I'm distracted by shiny new toys, which right now is the fact that I can write C in Lua much more easily than I could write Lua in C.

Thank God none of this my job...

Oh, and I started a blog with Lektor that still has nothing on it.
