There used to be this type of questions on a monthly basis and it was always fascinating to see what people were working on. :) So I thought I might post it up again since I haven't seen one in awhile.

What side project are you working on right now?

It started out as a clone of http://nightchamber.com. That functionaluty was simple to emulate. Now I am trying to build a complete loginless social network. Although, the logging in process is highly device dependent, it will involve making the user approve the devices he intends to use the network from. What's fun is the number of ways I had to come up with that will make sure that the correct user is logged in regardless of the device he accesses it from.

Its on github: http://github.com/arkokoley/nightowl

I have been working working on some small issues in https://github.com/servo/servo working my way to bigger issues. Also I have been working on a bittorrent client in Rust, it is my project to learn the language.

I have been working on a food and travel tip related web app. Its a long term thing as I work full time, but it is something I enjoy doing on the side.

- a Windows application for the open lab at my school (to replace the sign in/sign out clipboard.)

- building Space Invaders in C++ using an entity component system that i'm also writing.

- random Unity, Corona SDK and SDL tutorials.

- a HNlike clone in PHP, off and on when I get bored with everything else.

No repos, sorry. Nothing is worth sharing yet.

In slow motion, Tetris written in Nim. It's really just to get familiar with Nim again and to complete a game for the first time in a long time.

Working a full time job that requires being out of the house for 14 hours a day a lot and parenting at home so I expect this to be a long project. :)
