Primarily on my kinda-side project Exoframe [1]. We needed a self-hosted tool that allows simple one-command deployments and I've ended up building it myself using Docker. Seems to work pretty well so far :D

I tried to create a new programming language, Toy Santa, but I became too demotivated to finish it. But I feel the codebase of toysanta is the best I've been doing to date. It's in C++, using Direct2D. One day, I will release it on github. But until then, I will try to create a presentable version. (yes, I am a tad attention-grabbing here;-) ...I an autodidact, I work for myself.

You’ve got to self promote. So what’s it capable of doing? Now/planned/hoped for

I continued to work on intercooler.js: https://github.com/LeadDyno/intercooler-js http://intercoolerjs.org I'm trying to get people to reconsider the more traditional web development style of server-side rendering of HTML + HATEOAS.

Yes! There’s nothing wrong with traditional web dev architecture!

System for automating perception using Deep Learning - computer vision, natural language processing, text to speech, advanced speech recognition. For robotics and artistic purposes. The pace in this area is simply stunning and it's unbelievable what a talented kid can do with it these days. Maybe I'll release parts of it as open source someday.

Automatic scheduling in your calendar for your to-do list.

This past year we added a ton of new integrations with project management tools as well as support for calendars beyond Google (eg. Apple iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, etc).

It has been a ton of work but very satisfying! Would love to connect with other bootstrapped SaaS founders.

I keep a growing library of little one-page javascript apps for illustrating concepts and educating my two boys. Reviewing my commit history for the year, I was pleased to find I've added nearly 20 apps to it in 2017. I wouldn't have been able to build so many 20 years ago, but there's so much code available out there to copy-paste, programming often feels like playing with building blocks.
