what is this

a list of projects I made, tried to make, or did not get to make while at Recurse Center, sep-dec 2023.

projects

launched

working on them

  • minivac 601 simulator!! let's goo!! (... maybe!! almost!!!......)
  • (another game) --- name TBD --- it's about being/feeling sorry
  • Everyone is -- I have a prototype that works! I need to do bit of cleanup & math and then launch!!

infinite pool of maybe-projects (in order of kinda faves first + then random)

  • alternatives to css - artistic-y/creative-y alternatives to css /// port of alternatives to web? swiftui for web? qt for web?
  • mp3s cannot loop - PSA/educational site/dive into mp3 format/looping/ableton default export, etc.
  • better PWA support for 1940s.nyc - this issue/discussion
  • audio "api" generator - not really an api -- more a comedy project, but exciting nevertheless
  • secret movie project - more soon!
  • secret project around food (it's worth the wait/reveal, hopefully)
  • not using clustering in maps -- very hot topic for me. educational/PSA/mapping
  • "rankist" - drop a bunch of files? or text lines? and be asked which you prefer until you rank them in some order
  • like typeracer but for regex
  • exif web viewer and/or cleaner! - same as plist, all browser based, for one or multiple images
  • sqlite - same as plist/exif, export as csv
  • pong a day - inspired by Pippin Barr's Pongs, make a number of variations on some """easily understandable""" game. something to do with pushing a ball into a net (with physics/gravity/3d??) but some element of the game is distorted? something simpler?
  • weird zoom/online chat with face detection? I had a draft in march 2020 - is this still something I want to do
  • something that tracks how many times I open gmail per day (I don't want to know)
  • something about digital smells?
  • something about restaurant reviews?
  • a le sphinx (old school) crypto device emulator?
  • something about a small project manifesto?
  • which day of recurse is it? day 0? day 14? basically this calendar but telling me where I am in-batch. this feels like not a good time investment to make & goes against the idea of taking it day by day, etc.

books/links/things I'd like to study/go through (maybe in the future, who knows!)

notes for myself, kinda

inspiration

  • John Carmack's .plan archives -- how to get there using some super simple tools..? is this Recurse's "checkins" channel? i.e. posting to that channel is... enough?
  • "surround yourself with the mess of what you love" - austin kleon (quote offered to me by Aditya -- thanks!!)

ongoing background projects (moving this to the very bottom to remind myself that I didn't come to RC to work on these even though I still care about these projects a lot)

this is a list of projects that I already have going on and will either come back to / dedicate some time to, or maybe leave alone for a longer while:
