Working on an FPS aim trainer that has a heavy focus on tracking performance data over time.

I love how MonkeyType lets you see exactly how much you’ve improved over time at typing and it’s inspired me to take a similar approach to this hobby of mine as well

I’m working on a fashion brand. Design, marketing and creating a brand should be challenging and fun. I’ll create something fun, joyful and fruits inspired. Anyone tried fashion ? Any recommendation on what to learn ahead of the challenges?

I'm building a perp funding arbitrage aggregator. Aggregates funding rates across a number of DEXs to help users track down the most lucrative opportunities.

If there is uptake the plan is to build out a toolset to help with managing a portfolio of arbs.

What does this mean? I have no idea what niche you're even working in

Working on sourcing IP geolocation data for my little site https://www.ipparrot.net and adding more sections like Networking Glossary and some networking tools.

I wanted to level up my electronics so I decided to build a piece of test equipment. Big bench top PSU, multimeter, active load, logic analyzer, whatever else I can throw in. Plus a detachable wireless touchscreen for extra complication.

A German equatorial telescope mount. Right now I'm learning to make gears. After building the hardware I'd like to write the firmware/software for tracking stars and planets. This will be a long term project for sure.

opkssh (https://github.com/openpubkey/opkssh) it lets you configure OpenSSH so you can ssh using your OpenID Connect identity without adding a trusted party other than the IDP. I'm trying to figure out how to TOFU a MFA HW token (yubikey) on first login so we don't even have to trust the IDP. The trick part is to design so if you lose your HW Token you aren't locked out without reintroducing trust. Maybe use a backup code or backup yubikey or the DKIM trick to allow timelocked resets of the HW Token via an email.

A decentralized, peer-to-peer, encrypted chat written in Python: https://github.com/FluxChat/fluxchat-py

Also want to write a client in Zig.

I use Apple Pencil with my iPad for figures in documents and wanted a better way to sync with my other work... so writing an iPad app for drawings using git for syncing with remote repos. Goal to release in App Store by end of April.

Oh yes please. Do you have a "preorder" on the App Store yet?
ks2048 3/31/2025||
No, but I'll look into that as I get closer to having something ready.

Just shipped my first film for a client's auction gala that was received with high praise! Now itching for more video production. We overproduced it with 4k drone footage, multiple multicam interviews, and I got some incredible b-roll.

So fun!
