https://millionballs.app It's a web app to help you improve your real-life pool (billiards) game. You can practice shots and learn to visualize the angles. Eventually, I want to go way beyond basic shotmaking and teach patterns, but it's already useful in it's current state at least to beginners and intermediate players. I've posted about it before but I've made a lot more progress since then, including making it mob…

I do think the arrow keys make it a little easier to aim, would some drag to aim moving left/right and releasing the mouse to go down give a bit more reasonable feeling of the experience?

I'm just aware that when you're playing you don't feel like you're moving in very fixed increments left/right when aiming, which using the keyboard seems to produce as an experience.

Find the best episodes for any podcast and recommend your favorite episodes. Reconciling different podcast episodes was a slog and maybe the hardest technical thing I've ever worked on. I never officially gave up on it, I've just been putting off coming back to it.

https://github.com/cartobucket/auth

Cartobucket Auth is an OIDC/OAuth 2.1 system that is meant to be easy to extend and embed into your existing infrastructure. To that end, if you are using Java, you can use the built in auth-data package, you can also use the generated SDK's for the API. Cartobucket Auth is also built to be extended or parts replaced using the Quarkus DI system easily, should you need the system to do something else that is specific to your application.

You can view a system diagram here: https://s.icepanel.io/sCSXIaaJOAsrpe/qAMx

I wanted to put together a CMS that would be programmer friendly, so I built https://github.com/SeleneSoftware/SeleneCMSBundle that works with Symfony PHP projects. I have a skeleton app at https://github.com/SeleneSoftware/SeleneCMS

It isn't complete, but I'm using it for my site. It needs some help.

The recent AI craze got me excited to program personal projects again, so I made a Chrome extension to save my ChatGPT prompts into and run them against any page's selected text. The idea was that it's more convenient create a command once, then on any website highlight text and right-click it rather than copy/paste stuff into ChatGPT. So far I know all 10 people who installed it personally, and I have a ton more ide…

I really like the UI: 1. using the new Chrome Sidebar API is a great choice! 2. selecting actions to show in the context menu is also a convenient customization idea Are you considering porting it to FF? Other than the Sidebar API it should be a very straightforward process.

Thank you! It was actually Chrome releasing the ability to open a sidebar using a context menu action that sparked the idea.

I absolutely plan to support firefox. I figured I should get things working well in one browser first before looking into porting, but consider it on the near term todo list.

I'm working on an adapter to plug a USB controller into an Atari 2600. The above video shows my first working proof of concept. Currently only supports HID devices with a fixed button mapping, and acts like a joystick controller.
