A handheld, esp32-based implementation of the pico-8[0] console. Basics work already, sidetracked into writing a terrible Lua to C++ compiler to squeeze some extra performance out of some pathological-case games.

#32* I was part of a team organising the International Linguistics Olympiad. Got some post-event business to sort out
* Fixing AnkiDroid to migrate to Google's Scoped Storage model without trashing user data: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ichi2.anki
* Improving the largest bilingual Manx English Corpus + Search Engine. It's recently become the #1 point on the Isle of Man's 10 year language plan, and will probably end up informing a new dictionary for the language
* Generating a machine-translation system using the above, probably also adding Manx to FLORES-200
* (maybe) Generating a Text to Speech engine for another language
* Moving my book over to my new laptop, and grinding it out to completion
* Scraping websockets to improve the accuracy of bus timetabling. Eventual aim to improve the experience of using the bus to reduce the number of cars on the road. Probably some F# webservice handling most of it, with React Native (web)app, distributed via NFC tags/QR code.

#34I put together a landing page for this idea i've been thinking about:
https://MyApartmentFamily.com/
The idea is to make apartment living less lonely, and generally increase goodwill between apartment neighbors.
Non-apartment people are not being excluded, but I think apartment living has lots of unique issues that homeowners - even, say, townhome and condo owners - do not have. And, realistically, you have to start with a focus on something -- some one thing -- in our case, it's apartment-living.

#35I'm working on Cling, a training community for rock climbers. Rock climbing is a complex, metric-driven, and growing sport that doesn't have good-enough tooling in tech. Outdoor vs indoor is very different, so we're focused on significantly improving the climbing gym experience for now. https://www.cling-app.com/
What made you choose to build an iPhone app before an Android app? I'm curious where that debate stands in the last few years as I haven't seen the arguments for a long time.

#36Marketing tech app -- https://datacx.ai/ It's still early days but after being away from the marketing space for a few years, I'm so surprised at how little has changed. I want to help promote a better way to collaborate on analytics, starting with ecommerce and moving to broader CDPs.

#37Currently working on https://kubirds.com , a Cloud-Native Supervision Engine. Think alerting similar to Nagios/Icinga/Centreon but as a Kubernetes Operator which can run almost any Docker image.
We are also building on top of this a trading bot with a FinTech company, and a SaaS website monitoring service for non-tech people.
We are also considering building, still on top of Kubirds, a No-Code notification automation/aggregation platform -> https://1-click-notify.carrd.co/

#39I'm currently migrating our app to SwiftUI which I target for next year's release. And then after that migrate our Android app to Jetpack Compose.

#40I’m building a tool to automate billing audits for physicians.
Doctors work their butts off for the benefit of others with the expectation that they will be compensated accordingly. Unfortunately hospitals aren’t incentivized to make sure all of their procedures are correctly accounted for, and as a result are doctors are often unpaid for their work.
Currently their only recourse is manually going through the EMR and tallying their billables themselves, but they don’t do this because it takes time which they don’t have.
Electronic Medical Record software is built for administrators and doesn’t make it easy to automate, so I’m taking a Robotic Process Automation approach.
