I'm writing a Typescript interface for the Phillips Hue APIv2 because none of the existing solutions supported gradient light-strips, its called Hue-Sync and its part of a larger side project that will become the open source alternative to the $300 Phillips HDMI Sync box

The Tails V2 beta is already being tested by a few users!

We've done the groundwork for our API too!

Made a lil SMS app to text my ideas and have them be texted back to me later. I was already texting myself ideas so I figured it'd be nice to have them be sent back, ranked, and searchable.

Good idea! Why don't you develop a Telegram bot? The porting should be simple and you could have a wider audience that would use the app!

Great idea - I had looked at WhatsApp but that seemed too involved. I’ll give Telegram a look!

I am currently on the verge of burning out, so over the weekend I want to limit coding time, and focus my energy outward by connecting with people. I've reactivated my twitter account, and this reply is my actually very first interaction on dev.to!

I'll be brainstorming blog post ideas and other ways to document my journey. Unfortunately I've been neglecting the networking part, so I hope to connect with the community more.

I hope to have my portfolio deployed in the next week or two.

Good choice Allan! Tech is good, but without people it is empty.

Currently I'm working on my blog most of the time. I have some improvements I need to do but as always it is intriguing to develop new features.

Thinking about a 3D animation, but I think I maybe have do something about the memes page firsts :)

Read your development analogy to the human body article… love it, man! Great work! Best analogy I’ve heard used to explain that concept.

Thanks Todd! Glad you liked it :) That's actually my least read article by far. Not many people have viewed it, the title must not have been very alluring.

I have recently started to dabble in go and made a commenting api for my personal website.

I also have an idea for a SaaS project for sport coaches and teachers that I might try to build over the summer.

My main side projects are still Modal File Manager and EmailIt. They are both Wails version 2 apps that I use everyday in my workflow. These keep me busy on my spare time (which isn’t much!).

This is an project image generator that you use in the readme?

I like how well documented are your readme's.

I used socialify.git.ci/ to create the image. Thanks for reading the README. It’s long, but the project is complex. I haven’t finished documenting most of the features yet.

I am currently studying DS and ML. I finished and earned 10 certificates from Kaggle tutorials. Of course, I enrolled Deep Learning Specialization from Coursera which are provided by DeepLearning.ai (Andrew). By now, I am on the third course.

I made the frontend for my personal note taking app, based on fastify and preact. it is very small, only 5 tables.

this project is mostly something for me to try out some stuff and learn.

the app basically works, but i feel i need to refactor it to use redux or some other state management. just using useState and useEffect hook is not killing it anymore.

before, i started the app with express and refactor to fastify with swagger.

also, first i implemented a clientside sdk by hand, until i build an sdk generation script that generates the complete sdk from the swagger definition.

I think once i am happy with the setup i can remove my app related stuff and turn the project into a nice little boilerplate,...

I'm a little late to this, but I was daydreaming while waiting for fireworks on the 3rd and decided to try seeing if I could build an AI to play the One Night Ultimate Werewolf social deduction game against itself using a limited number of roles, probabilistic modeling, and some form of reinforcement learning. The project is coming along, but it's not capable of lying to me yet!

I am hacking up a local DNS server to have more control about how is it resolving. I plan to make some kind of CLI and providers to domainize stuff like my zerotier hosts and container IPs and applying blocklists on the fly. It's very experimental, PoC level.

github.com/lucasew/simple-dns

Just build it, run it as root and add nameserver 127.0.0.1 to the first line of /etc/resolv.conf and it's working (I expect).
