I just decided to start asking this instead of ‘what do you do?’ when meeting people. Figured I’d try it out on you folks.
Shitty code
I create web applications! 🎉 (AKA I’m a typical Lemmy user.)
Here’s mine: https://wishthis.online/ (pls send help)
I created an email service called https://port87.com/
It’s got fancy features that help you stay organized and spam free.
I also create loads of open source software, which I use for it:
https://sveltematerialui.com/ - A UI library for the Svelte framework.
https://nymph.io/ - An object relational mapper for Node.js and the browser.
https://github.com/sciactive/nephele - A WebDAV server with encryption, deduplication, and S3 support.
A bunch of FOSS hardware and software. https://twystlock.com/ was my latest creation. My next is a suite of modular open source home automation sensors including everything from air quality to mmWave presence.
In a more “professional” FOSS sense I just presented a new federated identity management system at IIW based on ActivityPub and OpenID Connect: https://fedid.me/.
I also make a lot of behind the scenes algorithms.
I’m working on an audiobook of a novel I wrote. I have another recording session today with voice actors who play my characters!
My body is a machine that turns caffeine into uptime.
Philosophical ramblings to justify my existence, which according to capitalism has no value because I don’t have the ability to work.
Me: “If I make a new mascot platformer (gratis) with vertex colors, maybe someone would get me out of here? What are the chances and outcomes? Would I even have enough time to make something decent with current conditions?”
Blender, Godot 4, player controller in Nim-lang via gdext-nim, and on top of the 3 hats I need to learn I don’t have many viable ideas.
Also somewhat related to the social isolation thread in showerthoughts, I live on the edge of nowhere and don’t even want to drive.
