I'm working on a new programming language that compiles to the JVM. It's statically typed and structural. Still in the very first steps of it but it's Turing complete and I've just nearly finished adding structs (custom types) that can describe variables or function parameters. The next step is Java interop.

Of course there's no plans to compete with other existing languages, but if I get far enough I'll use this language to work on some personal projects. I've learned a ton about programming language design so far so the project has already been a success.

https://icebergcharts.com

Iceberg Charts are an information format in which the most well-known/popular information is placed in the top tier, and each level down ever less known and finally obscure information is placed that only subject matter experts are aware of.

This makes it an interesting structure to explore and learn more about topics one isn't too familiar with.

This work was inspired by suricrasia's "Cursed Computer Iceberg": https://suricrasia.online/iceberg/

Traditionally, icebergs are only presented in an image format, like in https://www.reddit.com/r/IcebergCharts/, but I wanted a site that made it possible to optionally add links and descriptions too

I'm currently working on an open-source "sand-table", an art piece drawing infinite patterns in sand (as an alternative to Sisyphus).

It runs of a Raspberry Pi Zero and all parts will be 3d-printable or off-the-shelf.

Here's the current status of it: https://imgur.com/a/jmnR5Tk

I'm currently working on app that allows you to pay all your bills in a single click.

As the guy who pays all the bills in the house I have like 7+ bills to pay in a single time. I hate to pay it 1 by 1 so I created the app to solve that problem.

This is the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bayaqapp.w... but it is only for Malaysia.

https://sumi.news — A peaceful newsfeed. Read RSS, Twitter, and newsletters without ads, algorithms, or distractions.

This is great! I was recently thinking of creating something like this for my own personal use to follow a bunch of YouTube channels. 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.

Yes, that’s a good idea. I will ship that out tomorrow.

Scratched my own itch on a few things recently ...

Simple mood/symptom tracker: https://howsyourblank.com

I have almost six months of data in it myself, and I am excited to see what my "year-n-pixels" looks like at the end of the year.

Leaderboard app: https://leaderboardhq.com

My family plays a card game that includes 9 rounds with a cumulative score. This app is tailored for that, but I made it generic enough with a few basic settings so that it can be pretty universally applicable.

Blog by sms/text: https://textpost.me

Saw another project like this, but built it out the way I wanted to see it work for me. Pretty much the only blogging/journaling practice that allows me to remain consistent.

Great job on Howsyourblank, You won't believe I had the same idea for diet, yet never implemented it. I am using it now, thanks!

Thanks! I hope it works for you.

I have had a chronic health issue, and I was needing to "rank" my daily symptoms. Most solutions I found were overly complex for my needs and without much of a focus on privacy. So I have taken those two tracks.

I would like to build it out more, while maintaining the simplicity, but want to wait on some feedback. So please do let me know what you think.
