Weekend Hacking -- What Projects Are You Working on This Weekend?

Happy Friday, dev.to!

We all have interests and areas that we want to explore, and we also have obligations during the week. The weekend is a great time to carve out some time for yourself, learn something new, explore a new idea, or work on your side project.

This weekend, I'm working on a blog post explaining the Ruby on Rails Model-View-Controller architecture using a restaurant as an analogy. I've also signed up for a Python open hacking session on Saturday morning. My idea right now is to make something like a chat client, but instead of talking to a friend or coworker, you talk to a wise and mentoring rubber duck who will help you debug your code.

I wanted to reach out and see what everyone else is up to -- what are you going to be hacking on this weekend?

Doing some yak-shaving on older projects and made a few PRs for the Perl static-analyzer (Perl::Critic). Luckily for me, the following week is winter holiday so I can continue spending working on project. Planning to make progress on either my first Rust project or a Vue-Perl-Mojolicious integration prototype I have been thinking a lot about...

I am going to be working on an issue for the emberjs website. Trying to pick up some more ember knowledge, by helping to migrate some pages from a separate app.

I've got a Package Tracker personal project that I might work on a bit this weekend! It's a Ruby on Rails app that (optionally) looks in your Gmail for any Tracking Numbers and add them to the system. Then it sends you notifications any time your package moves, and a dashboard of any upcoming packages!
Been alive with me as the only User, so working on getting a better frontend and squashing some bugs before I go out and find some more Users!

Banished a pesky dependency after achieving output parity with it.
Got to delete a lot of code. Feels good.
You probably don't wanna see. It's gruesome.
