https://github.com/piku , for sure. I was getting tired of deploying stuff manually or juggling containers for the simplest of apps, so I sat down and wrote most of it in a couple of weekends. I now deploy the vast majority of my personal projects with it (including container-based ones, actually).

#23Just got finished on the 3D visualization of GPS tracks, now working on the user accounts to store/compare/visualize/share past activities.
It's definitely "scratch your own itch", as I'm building it to suit my exact needs.

#24The goal is to limit the environmental impact of serving web applications. Ideally memory usage should be less than a couple of MB for an idling server, a Docker container less than 100MB in size, and CPUs efficiently converting request paths into SQLite opcode and JSON responses.

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's not just a shell. It is a terminal UI in which you can browse tables, go into tables, browse and edit rows in a spreadsheet like interface etc. If there is any database out there that is commonly used to demonstrate DB software, I could record a little screencast. So far, it supports SQLite, MariaDB and MySql.
ah, so a bit like visidata?

I tried to emulate orchestral sounds using an abandoned sample collection using it with some success but no one really liked it.
I also had problems with our point of sale at work which I tried to improve with a picture book with bar codes over the items. That helped me scan items without upc labels. Hit and miss but I'm going to have to sell my printer so that project is also dead.

In January I’ll start to publish “live coding” style videos of some of the projects I work on. I guess it’s the cumulation of my toy projects. I’m recording them as a way to encourage myself to create even more. Most are very simple. Many are “reinventing the wheel”. But, I love the work.
In the first two video’s I write a simple binary in Go (a language I’m not very familiar with) then run it as a command over ssh.
In the third I write a command line tool to generate random character strings.
Each video will have a companion GitHub repo.
The channel is completely empty at the moment. I’ll publish my introduction the first week of November and then publish videos weekly starting on January 1st. I’ve already created the first couple video’s and I’m editing the third now.
It will start out really rocky as I learn techniques for recording video and audio and improve my process.

#30I built an educational KV store to teach someone to write a database from scratch. I have set up this project in TDD fashion with the tests. So, you start with simple functions, pass the tests, and the difficulty level goes up. There are hints if you get stuck. When all the tests pass, you would have written a persistent key-value store in the end.
