I'm working on Argon Chess, a deterministic chess variant with some degree of cheat resistance (hard to describe to chess engines like Fairy Stockfish) and tons of variety. A week ago, I added a way to play friends online a week ago (a Discord Activity) and a simple Play a Dumb AI feature on its website. You can also print the cards for free for offline play. https://argonchess.com/

Discovered in-door bouldering / rock climbing and now go 3x a week, am absolutely loving it! Because of that, I haven't really worked on any side projects in a while. Perhaps I don't need to? My job advances me plenty in my field, but it is a bit of a bitter-sweet feeling in a sense, like maybe I should try to squeeze more out of my free time somehow.

I am learning Godot engine, going through the list of 20 games in order to build up my experience https://20_games_challenge.gitlab.io/

I am almost done with flappy bird (2nd challenge)

Why? I love the old arcade and game boy games, and I want to recreate them to my liking. I also love mechanical systems and space rovers, and I want ro build worlds to explore and simulate these things

As a very recent pet project (and pretty much work in progress), Equations Explained Colorfully (KaTeX + Markdown + TypeScript) https://github.com/stared/equations-explained-colorfully

Thinking on good export formats (except of taking screenshots and Pull Requests, obviosuly). LaTeX and Typst? A remark plugin?

A lot of things!

A law professionals helper - aggregates judicial case info into a single place, gives visibility and notifications - asistentul.ro

A scheduling platform for self-employed professionals that offer services (think hair-cutting, nails, psychlogists). (Not yet live)

Aaand something in compliance that I want to keep a bit stealthy right now.

Frontend framework in JavaScript that requires no build step, relies on DOM and SSR and can be used to build both SPA and hybrid apps without VDOM, js templates, hydration or putting HTML (or worse, css) inside JS code. It'll also have a very sophisticated declarative state manager which makes managing state and ui transitions a breeze. It's basically anti-React.
