Still on my sabbatical and continuing to build on things I enjoy rather than things that pay (for now).

Main focus is https://wheretodrink.beer, collecting and cataloging craft beer venues from around the world. No ambition of being exhaustive, but aiming for a curated and substantial list. After the last thread, a bunch of people added their suggestions, thanks! It helped add interesting new venues from cities I hadn’t covered yet.

I’m very slowly layering on features, and have a few spin-off ideas I’ll keep brewing on for later. The hardest problem thus far has been attempting to automate popularity rankings and automatic removal of defunct venues without breaching a bunch of ToS.

Also made https://drnk.beer, a small side project offering beer-related linkpages and @handles for Bluesky (AT Protocol). It's been on the backburner, but still very much live.

Probably looking for another small project for the next few months to focus on something else for a while. Always curious to see what others are building and doing. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve been working on an app called Lång. It’s a calm daily spending guide – shows you what’s okay to spend today, based on how much needs to last how long.

The idea came from noticing how most people manage money day to day: checking their balance, adjusting by feel, trying not to drift. There are tons of tools for planning or categorising, but not much that fits that kind of improvised pacing.

Still early, but trying to shape it around those habits – to make something simple and steady, that supports how people already do things.

An iOS app that lets you change the paint color of your rooms and try out new interior design styles (ex: Rustic, Coastal, etc).

I built it because I was blown away with what the latest image generation models can do and found that interior design is one area where it could already provide significant value for people. I’ve already used it in just about every room in my house to help me decide on:

- which paint color I should use

- how I should arrange my furniture

- what color theme I should be using to match the design I’ve gone with

- general inspiration on decor

It’s free to download to try with sample imagery. Unfortunately due to the cost of image generation, you won't be able to upload your own photos in the free version (yet). But I’m constantly improving the app and would really love some feedback.

Using Google's GDELT to analyze velocity and sentiment around public-policy/political news. Objectives: develop a taxonomy of news-event types and their behavior; use that taxonomy to test faster/better time to market with responses; ultimately determine which scenarios, if any, can be predicted.

More or less the same project since Feb 2021: OnlineOrNot (https://onlineornot.com).

Idea is to be the uptime monitoring + status page solution software teams choose. Next big project I'm looking at is making a terraform provider for uptime checks, so setting up alerts for your new microservice becomes seamless.

Still years away from employing me full time, but we're getting there.
