Oil on canvas, about 28 x 22 in.
Which is, i think, a common thing about solo devs.How do you guys deal with that?
I've also revived a project to design/implement a programming language. I'm slowing converging on a (keyword-less) syntax and (Beam-like) architecture that's starting to feel good.

Quiver (the language):

What I really wanted was an infinite coding video, so I built one. Pick your IDE/monitor/ambience of choice, hit the Screensaver button, put it on a second monitor or TV, and enjoy infinite coding ASMR.
Recently added a Paper Mode which shows an animated quill that scrawls across a parchment for public domain novels.
It's a web-based game for 1-8 players, features a tutorial and bots, plays like a board game, and operates with economy, bluffing, forward-planning, risk-taking, course-correcting mechanics.
Play as an amateur psychic navigating a fictional stock market. Receive premonitions, call in your wizard friend, navigate dividends & earnings releases, and chase the glamorous annual investor awards.
If you try it out, please leave me some feedback :)
In the last couple of months my partner and myself quit our jobs to work on that. I am pretty sure that in a year from now the world is going to have a fairly competent spreadsheet alternative.
My capacity is fairly limited but I am trying to build a community around it. Join us!
From libre office because it is web first and also an engine first
It's written in Rust and has bindings to different languages. It's extremely light and fast
I find in software the more constraints I can find the better the innovation ends up being, and business model is an excellent constraint - even just knowing what a responsible amount of effort is versus the value you anticipate.
Admittedly, I originally misunderstood your product as being more like google sheets - where it becomes a cloud drive of sorts with spreadsheets on top. At which point the risk of losing access to the tool would make adoption very unlikely.
It pulls jobs from tens of thousands of company HR pages, and only keeps them for seven days (unless it sees that the job has been filled). No reposts. Only fresh jobs.
Besides that it has a resume builder, matching system, application assistance via an extension, job tracking software, and an interview preparation helper. It turned into some fairly complex software that I ended up learning a lot from!
If any of you try it, let me know what you think.
edit: found it. What a stupid mistake. Fixed.
