http://schoolholidays.deals/ A UK-based flight deals service aimed specifically at parents who can only travel during term-time. Having this issue myself now with two children whereby flight prices double going into school holiday season, I have always wanted some kind of service which alerts me of good deals. I still have a long way to refining the actual product, but trying to fit the development around work commit…

Just curious - what makes something qualify as a "good deal"? or do you list prices for all common destinations?

wellbody.me -> everyone that does some sort of fitness knows that its more than just going to the gym. its also nutrition, mobility, recovery, and mindfulness. we blend all these topics into a progression system but simplify it into just 3 daily actions. we integrate with your wearables so all you have to do is connect and your system is ready!

Upskilling in both linux kernel dev work and also LLM inference systems work.

It's kind of hard to just "get into" these though, as they're sufficiently foreign that I'm spending more learning about the "accidentals" rather than the core dev loop that say, an employer would care about.

So on top of that, for a more "traditional" software project, I'm working on making a game with a custom networking protocol, but with a focus on the networking protocol itself. I do think a decent amount of games can be subsumed under this paradigm but it requires careful design to a necessary and sufficient protocol. Of course, whether the game itself is fun is a different story, but I think it can be made fun.

I'm working on a real-life social app called Holler ( https://justhollerapp.com ). I'm an introvert and socially anxious, but I do enjoy hanging out with my friends. I just HATE the invitation-and-coordination game. If someone invites me and I don't want to go, I hate having to come up with a socially acceptable excuse. Inviting someone and waiting for them to make a socially acceptable excuse is equally awful to me.…

WhatsApp status could also work

I'm working on 2 things right now (on side). Both commercial (sorry!).

First one is RACE terminal [0]. It's a put-terminals on infinite canvas terminal multiplexer. Right now on macOS, but soon I expect to have Linux version fully released.

Second is Inboxctl [1], it's a keyboard-driven mail client for power users.

The cool thing about both of them is that RACE is my terminal multiplexer and Inboxctl is my e-mail client and they work great. I'm really proud that I can fully interact with terminals/e-mail using my own creations. Both are based on the GUI-framework I accidentally made for ascdraw [2] and kakvide [3].
