My girlfriend painted the Way of Kings cover. Holy. Shit.

I have no idea why this has gotten so many views (compared to the 5 it would normally get) but it's pretty neat.

The fourth page of my portfolio site says farewell Microsoft and mimics Premiere Pro.

Fun fact, it works. You can't edit videos or anything but the buttons all function and you can use the timeline to skim the video to your hearts content

Oh yeah I absolutely agree. It definitely makes switching between them pretty straightforward.

I quite like Vue over React but yeah, React is definitely the winner out there.

Vue can feel like a flavour of React with different syntax and functions rather than it's own unique system.

Presenting a watch face that is my lowest reviewed my one of my personal favs: Too-Many-Rings!

How does it tell time? Who knows!

Each ring represents a stat. Blue is the hours in the day, red is minutes, white is date and so on. It's fun.

The sharks aren't good but they're trying their best

The third page of my portfolio site follows the mimic Microsoft apps trend and mimics Excel.

Nothing fun to add, I just think it (and Excel) are neat.

My most popular Fitbit face with 367 reviews (81% are 5 stars which makes me happy).

Sadly Fitbit do not provide you with any stats beyond reviews so its hard to tell how your faces do without resorting to third party stuff

Applying my eyesight script to videos can be spooky

New fun project: taking shark tracking data and using that to make a shark play super mario bros

The second page of my portfolio site mimics the PowerPoint watch face I made.

It also uses JSON to manage its content because apparently I have a JSON problem. The slide animations are fun though!

I made a watch face that resembles PowerPoint. It's probably the most fun face I have ever made.

The first page of my portfolio site mimics my popular watch face, Clockface.json.

Fun fact: To save myself future hassle, I designed the page to generate itself based on a JSON file. Said file describes both the content and how it should be laid out (which is why the site has a YAML page too)

Starting Wind and Truth. Been waiting for this book for ages, so hyped #stormlight

Clockface.json is modelled after JSON in VSCode. It went viral a while ago which was a fun thing for me to wake up to

I managed to accidentally add a line to the middle of my test input that I spent a solid 20 minutes trying to figure out. Oops.

For anyone interested in fine-tuning or aligning LLMs, I’m running this free and open course called smol course. It’s not a big deal, it’s just smol.

I have an eye condition called Keratoconus and I've struggled before to explain to friends what my natural eyesight actually looks like. So I spent an evening to write a script that does it for me.

The script takes in an image or video and converts it to mimic my natural eyesight would be.

I spent longer then I'd like to admit trying to design a system to work out which specific bad level was causing the issue before finding a better solution

Some of my favorite watch faces that I've made for Fitbit devices

The key to improvement is being adventurous and trying familiar things in new and novel ways to see what happens.

...I'm trying to justify not going to the shop and trying to make eggless/milkless pancakes.

Portal Turret using Facial Detection Something I wrote a few years ago and promptly forgot about. I love the little turrets though.

I love Portal and especially the turrets so I made a turret that shoots at you yonks ago

Thank you for your recommendations, I'll definitely have to check them out!

Any #godot tips for starting learning Godot? I've made a simple Asteroids game in Unity before but decided to make the switch to Godot.

I've gotten as far as making a spinning Mantyke on my desktop.

After my watch face went viral, I saw a few comments about how it should support YAML instead.

Because of that, the portion of my site that replicates that watch face has a YAML page. Thanks to it being over engineered to begin with it only actually required minimal changes.

I'd also argue Frontend, mainly from a UI perspective
