It's very much in the Alpha stage and I'm currently working on a demo video that shows the basic functionality of the platform.

#52It's a clean music player with cloud storage and sharing, geared toward musicians and producers (i.e., me).
After years of native SDK development, I've switched to React Native and not looking back!

#53Its backend (Exocore[2]) is built on top of a personal / private blockchain and is made from the ground up to be hosted in a semi-decentralized fashion on your own personal devices (your computer, raspberry pi, a cloud instance, etc.). It is written in Rust and has iOS, C and Web (WASM) clients.
It has very rough edges, but I'm using it daily to organize my life. It has also been my learning playground to improve my Rust skills over the last two years (it was on another tech stack before). [1]: https://github.com/appaquet/exomind [2]: https://github.com/appaquet/exocore

#56- Fully features user mode ISDN stack for Linux. This was going to include some reference applications like a softphone, softswitch and H.320 multiplexer.
- Hackish kernel-mode X.25 driver for Windows built atop existing serial hardware
- Custom DOCSIS modem built on a limesdr. Was going to try to go further and create a Ethernet drive so that I could plug a PC directly into my CMTS and get a connection.
- Reverse engineering the file system for an old piece of ISDN test equipment I have and maybe building some sort of FUSE interface for it.
- Turning my HP-85 into a controller for some of my old equipment since I was able to snag the serial and GBIP cartridges for it. Was also thinking about making an X.25 stack for it as well.
- A RS-449 V.35 or X.21 converter since the few people who make them don’t seem to want to sell them to me. I’m not much of a hardware guy though so converting to X.22 may be easier since I believe the signals are mostly compatible.
- Additionally there’s some technologies I’ve wanted to play with but haven’t really found a project for. I’ve been wanting to do some Smalltalk for a while. I wanted to do something with visible light communications (perhaps when 802.11bb is bit more developed) and for some reason I had the odd urge to do something crazy with OLE (yes, that OLE). I’ve also wanted to play with PLCs and maybe find something cursed to do with SmartNICs.
Some of these got a little more work done on them then others, but I just kinda lost interest in everything a while back for partially unexplainable reasons. I’m currently prepping to go back to school.

#58Also it makes sense to have work-related tasks and personal tasks split into two.

Would you consider making visited links a different color? That would vastly improve the experience for me, since I could see at a glance which content I have not viewed yet, if any.
