#523I am working on a FOSS google tasks alternative for android with unix-like aesthetics and my desire to take some inspiration from the windows mobile app designs. It's just 84kb apk at the with reproducible build system and also downloadable from IzzyOnDroid fdroid repo: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/io.github.ronynn.ka...
It's privacy focussed and does not connects to the internet, your notes stay on device which you can backup and import into other devices, and I am working on a quick qr share features too.
My idea was that there are almost no android apps with this kind of design vision even though there are fans of this design out there as can be seen with the trend of people modifying their termux startup screens and the huge downloads of windows mobile styled launchers. And so I want to make a design system that provides an open source go to system for others to make apps with this design

#524Not a coding project, but I have been writing a sci-fi novel about a world where time goes backwards and forwards. It has some interesting history in it too. I'm looking for beta readers.

#525I'm working on tooling to turn kids from consumers into creators. I'm focusing on game development initially, but have plans for video production and hands on crafts. For younger kids I've modified Overcooked 2, a traditionally co-op game. I've replaced the second player with a visual scripting platform that allows kids to code their way through levels — worth noting I haven't removed co-op, there's still room for 2…
>I want to be able to teach kids skills that are more directly transferable to different domains would the ability to pick up a new language/syntax be also a skill worth learning?
Yes, absolutely, but we're talking about teenagers. I've no doubt they're capable of learning multiple languages. But teenagers are most constrained by the limited time they have available for extra curricular activities. If I was to teach interested kids a second language (and I'd like to), then it would probably be lower level so kids can learn about memory management etc.

#526Currently, when my brain lets me, I am working on redoing my entire home network infrastructure. My network cupboard is a mess, and I've been slowly CADing and test-printing parts for a 8.5 inch server rack system. I've managed to get some nice side rails, and I'm currently doing some test prints for a mount for a Lenovo M700 computer, which I like for lightweight server stuff (the one I have is currently running my homeassistant and a couple of other docker things, and I'm going to be buying another to use as a NAS). I'm also slowly working on rewriting my website backend to pull projects off external drives, reformat them into blog pages and automatically update my website to use them. Currently I'm still at the early testing stage, and I have quite a way to go, but the basic parts are there.
The 8.5 inch racking system was inspired by Jeff Geerling's video about 10 inch rack, but shrunk even further to allow me to fit it on my 3D printer bed (8.6 inch square). I currently have parts for the top and bottom of the rack, as well as 1U and 2U expansions that you can slot together to make the rack as tall as you want. I'm also thinking about making a side attachment system so you can clip fans onto the side or similar. Once I have a working rack with several units in it, I'll probably end up publishing the parts and a writeup about it

#527My pursuit of happiness, I'm in fear of quitting my current job and go for a working holiday to Australia, I'm excited while still trying to overcome the fear of not having a stable and well paying job because I don't find any joy in this job no more , so I am working on mentally getting out of this, I want to truly let go "money is more important than my happiness" idea.
That is cool thing to do if you do not have family yet. If you do not, than do it. Life is too short to worry about not having a job for a few months.
If.you have savings than why not?

#529Friend and I are working on https://finbodhi.com/ It's a double entry based personal finance tool, to help families and individuals, track, understand and plan their finances. It's local first. Synched across devices via a sync server. Financial data is encrypted before it leaves your local devices. By design, we don't have access to your data. We are still in early phase, and looking for active users, and their feed…
Is "bodhi" the Buddhist term for enlightenment? (Or the tree that frequently appears at Theravada Buddhist temples?)
kinda both :)

#530I'm working on a hidden puzzle for the 40th anniversary phrack edition which is scheduled for release this summer. If you're a reader of it be on the lookout for curiosities and scrutinize everything. There is a prize at the end and it's going to be fun. :)
