Now that I don't have a commute anymore, I've been using the extra time to work on a full version of a game jam game I made a while ago and had good reception.

I don't have much new to show yet, but the jam version is available at https://kroltan.itch.io/farm-fortress-2

It's a strategy game focused on production chains and resource management.

https://ipaddress.sh

Simple service to get the public IP address based on IPIFY API.

Lots of services already exist like this and my favorite is icanhazip.com. This is basically the same old service in a more memorable domain name. But it is helping me trying to learn Go and API development. https://about.ipaddress.sh/

I have been working on a Kahoot alternative, Please find it on https://github.com/surajcm/darkhold . At work, we use Kahoot a lot to have fun tech quizzes and it really inspired me to create an opensource alternative with spring boot.It is not a complete clone (I don't want to be in trouble with copyright issues), I used some of the interesting functionalities to create a qurantine remote quiz tool. Any feedbacks are welcome :)

I am working on Kanjimi, a browser extension for people learning Japanese.

My goal is to help people to read any Japanese website by adding information about the vocabuary words (pronunciation, meaning).

But at the same time I want this to be highly customizable and easy to use, because helping too much or systematically does not actually help to learn. So this has to be just right for everyone to be truly useful.

It is not released yet, but I made a mini-website and have a Twitter account for this project if anyone is interested:
