This week, I'll try to finish developing a website that lists the open-source apps I've come across or tested. I've already completed the analysis side, but the front-end is still missing — and unfortunately, it's not my cup of tea!

I have had a few projects in the works... NMCP, Workflow, IDE, Drone, Remote, Messenger, Share, Installer, Dwarven Stronghold, even an OS.

My goal for the week, release NMCP, Workflow (done), IDE, Drone, Remote, Messenger, Share and Installer. All open-source.

Then I want to apply for a job at Temporal (idk, an 8ft keyboard made me want to).

That about sums it up, sounds easy, but it's alot...

Complete a VMB (virtual motherboard) MVP hobbyist project. Need to stretch my ability to abstract and return safely 😂

Front-end really isn't for everyone. I feel that pain — backend all the way, but then you need a UI anyway.
