Unfinished and novel ideas are of course most interesting, so feel free to share anything you're thinking about!

#2I don't want to be hired and I also don't have any project going on.
Basically "between ideas" and desperately want to come up with something before I have to give up and get a job. It's not healthy to be idle too long.

#4Working on a security startup. Learning way too many things about security that as an engineer I had no idea of. Lots of great companies working on security and if you are interested you should certainly check out companies like SNYK's new stuff, gitlab security etc.

#8Working on a hardware startup. Building an epaper based tablet. In fact, one of my test PCBs just arrived earlier today from OSHpark[1]. Still a WIP but I'm looking forward to cooking some electronics tonight on a hotplate :)
I love doing this work. (Electrical engineering, firmware design, cloud backend, etc.) I just really wish I went to school for the EE though.

#10Building a queer dating app - it's been a good excuse to learn react-native, lambda and other aws services, and it's an itch I've wanted to scratch for years.
