A few weeks ago I started writing articles again on DEV and I just recently had the opportunity to take it to the next step: writing an article for a programming magazine!

This is quite a challenge in a short period of time on a subject I do not fully master but it's also thrilling and challenging. So far it takes a lot of time but I am also learning a lot!

That is quite a step-up, congrats!

Pierre Bouillon • Jun 28 '22

It is! Thank you 😄

Working on developing an open-source hassel-free audio/video SDK to help developers save time and money.

SDK will consist following features

Audio streaming.
Video streaming.
Screen sharing.
Live chats.

Ambitious! Very exciting.

Hemendra Khatik • Jun 26 '22

Thanks ben:)

I am interested in this.

I made a project called speaker.app which uses a peer-in-the-middle as a type of WebRTC proxy virtual server so that connected participants don't have to rely on mesh networks.

It doesn't get a lot of usage but my main goals were:

High quality, stereo audio
High quality screenshares
Not take anything too seriously

First three sounds like FFMPEG :) On what abstraction level are you operating?

FJones • Jun 27 '22

It does, and a replacement for ffmpeg is sorely needed! Would love to hear more.

jzombie • Jun 27 '22

It's interesting to note that Chromium uses ffmpeg internally for media transcoding in its web browser (WebRTC & related).

Someone said, "yeah, but you can't access it." Ironically, a few weeks later, his Electron app wouldn't install because of a "ffmpeg.dll not found" error.

Playing around with Appsmith, working on building out a dashboard for another side project. Blown away by how slick the low-code solution works!

Tóth Béla • Jun 27 '22

I'm attending a local game jam with the theme or retro remake, so grabbed one of the old favs of mine and went ham on programming!

Hung Vu • Jun 26 '22

Reasearching on options to build my own blog website. Ideally, it will be my portfolio too (my current one is way out dated 😢).

I just created a discussion on this topic too, so any recommendation is appreciated!

Which headless CMS would you recommend for a blog site?

To be honest: luck!

I just happened to see a post of the editor calling for author on some subjects and asked if the one about .NET 7 was still up for grabs. After a couple of mails to clarify the format and the points to be covered, the deadline has been set and here I am!

I have been working on a project called Elden Ring Web3 by Moralis ,learned a lot about SDKs and also learned some C# for game development in Unity. A very Interesting Project hope to complete it by next week.

Chris Gregori • Jun 27 '22

About to launch my new personal site I've been working on for the last week or so: chriis.dev - excited to hear feedback on the design. Gonna be posting a blog post showcasing how I've done some of the more fun things on the site.

Also about to start working on an Elixir library I started a few months ago and haven't had the chance to get back to called Timebomb.

When that's all done I'm planning on getting back to doing some more blogging and hopefully finishing off another Elixir project written in the PETAL stack. Phew.

Since last year I am developing saferspaces.io. In Short, saferspaces offers a low-threshold and easy way to call for help in insecure situation of any kind. For the past 6 months we were lucky to have some financing, so I could work at least in part time for it (and not only after work / on weekends). Since beginning of march we are piloting in a club and recently had a test at a local festival. From next month on, however, this will be a project for weekends again as I will need to switch to a full-time employment again.
