I've been working on "Daily" [1], a desktop app for creating blogs and websites. Everything's stored in a single file, local preview, output static files or upload to Vercel. It's nearly at a point, where it's finished. Of course I've lots of ideas for features. and monetisation. But I don't like the marketing part, except talking about it here and there. And that's fine.
https://feelings.earth/ Visualization of what the people of Twitter are feeling right now across the globe (or at least the ones who have geolocation enabled :)). It's fun to have it up on a monitor in the background to periodically gaze at. I'm an Engineering Director and can rarely justify finding time to code anything significant during my day job these days, so this was my cut-loose-and-have-fun project over ~a w…

This is really great, good job! Google did a good job with auto-creating your preview text, but you should definitely add a meta description to that landing page :) https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fsmoldun...
Oh thanks! I'll do that, I do not know anything about SEO.
Keep the meta description at around 120 characters and you’re golden. The HTML is clean and semantic so Google has treated the results quite well!
Self-published on Amazon this year. It was one of the five finalists of the French Amazon Storyteller contest. It currently has a rating of 4.3 with 90 reviews. It makes very little money but it's exciting to have people read your book.
Tonya Harding, Patrizia Gucci, Anna Delvey (Sorokin)... Bad guys (and gals!) are having a moment right now in popular culture. I wonder if I should pitch the story to Netflix, but have zero idea how. (Also, the book is in French).

Exposing a corrupt judge is among the most noble goals a citizen can have. The more incentive judges have to act fairly, the better. I am not sure you read the story correctly. But I'm pretty sure a judge will get due process - not abusive penalties.
People have been using "the ends justify the means" to justify all sorts of unethical behavior, not the least of which includes torture, genocide, and wars. Let's not go down that ethical reasoning wormhole. As for his story, my read on it must be much different from your own. Because from what I am seeing, this is far more about the judge's husband than anyone else, and it is to right a sense of personal injustice t…
He could make a choice. Either talk to me or influence the court. The choice he ended up making is quite clear. Of course I could not point out his options, as that no doubt would have been misconstrued.
There is some evidence suggesting the cases at the court don't get assigned randomly, as per the rules, and she might ask for off-label use cases to get preferentially assigned to herself.
Upon an inquiry the court did not deny this is true. To find the truth one would have to verify the sequence of other case assignments, which should be possible from incoming filing times and such. Here a second case got assigned to her but with a sequence number oddly enough belonging to a different chamber. Per the law there was supposed to be a singular number, and for some reason she split the case without a required decision.
She is also the only judge at this court who ever wrote anything public on the topic.
Due to an adventurous recent personal medical history I became well-aware what problems unlawful denials do cause for patients.
I am taking down the corrupt top judge of a leading Western nation, for fun. A first instance judge had committed a serious criminal offense. Her husband, a wealthy and influential lawyer then bribed the presiding appeals court judge. So I made the assumption he would also influence the ensuing constitutional court case. The case had been accepted by the court and assigned a case number. I waited for a month then cau…

You have a serious case of delusions of grandeur. Get some help.
It is sad that you would rather believe the parent has mental health issues, rather than entertain the possibility that yes, someone is actually doing something effective against powerful corrupt people, and that requires creative thinking. To me, it echoes "Discourse on Voluntary Servitude" by La Boétie. Powerful people are just people. They are powerful because we are collectively granting them that power. This is…
I built a satirical social network called shlinkedin. It started as a way for me to learn elixir and make fun of thought leadership with my roommate, and has gradually gotten bigger. It’s all open source and a ton of fun to work on. Everyone is an alter ego (think Beff Jezos or Office Spider), and it’s hilarious to see how much people commit to the characters they create. And I can’t say enough good things about work…
