16 side project GitHub repositories you may find useful

A Side Project is something you do aside from your main job to fuel your passion while learning something new. This quote is very close to my heart...

I don't if this uses the same tech as your princess project, but it reminds me of this YouTube video
youtu.be/dDIk1Tmnj9A

It covers how to train a ML model in your browser using a webcam and then you can download the model for offline predictions on the frontend.

It uses Tensorflow.js

Your project looks awesome Mike! You have explained it well in the video.

My Princess project uses the Teachable Machine to train and create the model. Then I use ml5.js to classify and the HTML5 video API to get the stream.

I'm glad you like it. I just found it looking for tech YouTube videos. I haven't made my own.

Oh right I see ml5 in dependencies.
I want to look into using their flow and your project. I have a project around Thomas the Tank Engine where playing a sound on recognizing an object on cam would be useful.

Great initiative!

I invite to join a non-profit organisation to help dancers around the world with github.com/we-dance/foundation

We are bringing experts from different fields to create and support dance infrastructure

Currently I am working on community platform which is similar to dev.to, but with different stack: Firebase, Vuejs (Nuxtjs), Tailwind. I love to code when I have some time after work and my motivation to start was to learn new technologies, but I just didn't want to create another hello-world and to-do list application 😅

During work on that project I tried to write a vue3 library to integrate Firebase to Nuxt, but still struggling with meta tags and some await mechanism - would be glad to dig deeper if someone is interested.

Another artefact of work is command line utility to synchronise google spreadsheet to yml files which I use to collaborate with non-dev translators and editors.
