I'm working on a travel planning application. I know a lot of other apps exist, but I'd like to build one myself.

https://github.com/kenrick95/ikuyo

So far it has some sort of activity calendar + expense tracker

There's still so much ideas to implement, like adding map, improve UX of creating activities, to-do list, etc

I've used it once or twice of a short trip, but in 6 months time, I'll have a 2-weeks trip, so that's my self-imposed "deadline" for this project

Anyway this project is a pure static web page and all the 'back-end' is handled by InstantDB ( https://www.instantdb.com/ ) after I saw their submission on HN >.< So far it has been quite a good experience overall except maybe the permissions model which can be a bit confusing to me

A native PDF-reader with hot-reloading and keyboard navigation, obviously inspired by https://github.com/pwmt/zathura but also cross-platform.

It's in a functional state, I use it myself but it needs some more ergonomic features before I'd suggest for someone else to use it.

I have been working on http://phrasing.app - a language learning & acquisition tool for polyglots. I’ve been using it to study ~12 languages (5 on maintaince, 2 seriously studying, 5 casually “studying”) and it’s starting to feel really good. If anyone is learning/maintaining several languages, please reach out! I’m looking for beta testers in as many languages as possible (it supports 120+). In what I believe is sti…

i signed up and tried to use it. The UI is very confusing. i couldn't find the place to setup what language i want to learn and what language i know (for translation). It is best if you can have a video or images documenting how to use it.

Myself.

Been a freelance dev for years, now going on "sabbatical" (love that word) imminently. Just moved to reduced hours, still in the transition and unwinding phase.

Planning to do a lot of learning, self-improvement, and projects. Tech-related and not. Preparing for the next volume (not chapter) of life. Refactoring, if you like, among other things.

I'm excited.

This sounds very cool! Do you have any travel planned? A move within country to more of a "reset" locale? :)

Building a simplified inexpensive Also still working on a custom Slicer for a special metal printer design. The VTK library version needed replaced by a simpler Blender Geometry nodes solution to extract texture information, and infill hull features.

Also considered a beautiful solution to Roger Penrose's Andromeda paradox. That guy has a wicked sense of humor... very funny. =3
