@ethanhawksley0It's me, Ethan Hawksley, and I've just finished pushing out another large update to my site hawksley.dev!
I've written a new blog post, all about how you can add JSON-LD to your own personal websites to improve how crawlers see them: hawksley.dev/blog/json-ld-explained-for-personal-websites It uses lots of examples from my own site, so you can easily copy-paste and edit to fit your own site.
I've also now added my photo to my website too! It's in all the link previews, and on my home page. However, I was intentionally really careful when I added it. To maximise performance, I used the AVIF image format, with a PNG fallback. I've also inlined a low-resolution base64 AVIF directly into the html of my home page, so that it instantly loads in when you visit, and a higher quality AVIF loads on top of that once the page has finished loading. I'm really happy with how it turned out, the image is only 2.5KB!
After some careful rearranging of my home page, it also fits in just under the size requirement for the first TCP packet group at 14KB, meaning it only requires one round trip with cloudflare for it to load. My PageSpeed Insights score is still 100/100/100/100
๐ข๐ฅ@ethanhawksley0I'm back with a fresh batch of improvements to hawksley.dev my personal site!
I'm Ethan Hawksley on most platforms, but to make me easier to find I created hawksley.dev/elsewhere where I've listed all my profiles in one location, with rel="me" so search engines know I'm the same person.
I've switched over to logical units (inline and block) instead of physical (width and height), and added dir="ltr" to my html to aid internationalisation down the line.
Fixed a flash of white that chromium-based browsers would occasionally experience whilst navigating the site.
Now using astro-compress to minify the resultant site so it's even smaller
Also set up stylelint to run on save so my css stays in an idiomatic order.
And finally my print styles have been improved so if you do Ctrl+P on my site, it should look nice!
My GitHub is github.com/ethan-hawksley and you can check out my repository at github.com/ethan-hawksley/ethan-hawksley.github.io it's fully open source!
๐ฅ๐ข@areallyawesomeusername0Hello #C0M8PUPU6! Long time no see, I am here again to ship a another slack bot for the community of wack club!
Nudgebot is a Slack bot, written in Python, that manages your personal channels simply and easily! Although, this bot is for my own channel, I still would like to share this creation to the world so people can my bot for their own channels :)
I built alot of features for Nudgebot, you should read the README to learn what Nudgebot can do!

๐ฅ@revi0you've seen the lanyard.cnrad.dev discord status embed generator thing. its cool, you can embed your discord profile into your website. yay!
but what about your hackclub slack profile..? to my knowledge nobody made such a thing yet...
hi! i made slacktivity!! its a slack bot (hello @slacktivityspy )/api that lets you generate live svgs/pngs of your profile, and supports embedding everywhere!! even in this very slack post (although slack cdn caching wont make the preview live-updated unless you click on it)
heres the github, the api docs are in there somewhere. to get started, you can try /slacktivity-help and /slacktivity-register, then /slacktivity-preview!!
hope you have fun using it, i definitely had fun making it. 14h 25m acc. to hackatime as of post!
made for #C07UZSKJQRX, with <3 from @revi & the Icarus Alliance (+ Kai)
(p.s. its hosted on nest, so it may be kinda slow. apawlogies!!)
๐ฅ๐ค๐ข@tanjim0hihi! i made my own ssh client in rust! (partially while in a huddle with @oodlia ju)! i implemented all the crypto math myself (i did not just import some off the shelf ssh library). this is pretty much the first rust project i have made.
it was kinda hard because when you get the math wrong you don't get a friendly "hey you got this math wrong" and the compiler/debugger doesnt help, you just get a "connection closed" from the server and that could mean anything
what do you think?๐ข๐ฅ@sukiwyatt0FRC Drum Turret

๐ฅ@Vynu0Built my dad's website and hosted it :meow_code: Pre-father's day giftoo!
๐ฅ@HenriqueDaSilva0made extremely detailed diagram for hardware thing that i might make one day
๐ฅ@mathias0I made ArchiveTube, a frontend for archiving YouTube video
Features:
โข Homepage
โข Channel page
โข Queue for archiving whole channel / playlist
โข Full metadata (title, description, thumbnail, subtitles
โข Optional login for archiving videos
DemoSource code
๐ข๐ฅ@snej550Added some more postprocessing effects to my OpenGL game (lens flare, vignette, a bit of ca).
๐ฎ๐ฅ@KarthikSankar-U04K5EPMZM10shipped time capsule!!
you write a message, enter your email, and it gets sent back to you at a completely random time between the next hour and the next year. could land tomorrow morning, could be 11 months from now. you have zero control over when.
built with Next.js + Neon (serverless postgres). messages get stored with a randomly scheduled send time and delivered whenever that hits
try it out: capsule.karthik.lol

๐ฅ@elite_punith0I am working on a weather forecast web application
I am using free api keys , and I am trying to make the ui cool
๐ฅ@azzyblooms0super tuff trumpet i made (sequel to trombonline!!!)
azzyblooms.github.io/brass.js๐ข๐ฅ@Mikuel0DAY 38/365
โข Got stickers from Flavortown:yayayayayay:
โข Opened my PC to see what connectors I could use for an SSD I got from Moonshot:spinny_fox: (my computer won't work after putting it back together:cat-chips:)
PROGRESS ON MY GOALS
โข Soldered extension cables for the motors and for the batteries for my rocket-drone:yesyes:
โข Almost burnt my house down because a heat shrink tube caught on fire
โข Journaled:yesyes::streak:38 days
๐ฑ๐ฅ@maxstellar0I made a visual novel game in Ren'Py called Rough Sketches about a kid's first day gone wrong--that devolves into more complicated emotions than you would think.
It's told entirely in the pages of the kid's sketchbook ^^
maxstellar.itch.io/rough-sketches
๐ฅ๐ข๐ฎ@azzyblooms0i made a trombone that works inside of a web browser!!!!!
- supports 8 partials/4 octaves
- control slide using mouse or keyboard!
check it out: azzyblooms.github.io/trombonline
demo video:๐ข๐ฅ@brny0I built a virtual pet rock that can sit around in your CLI while you program. I think its pretty cool, you should try it out. The hardest part was all the switches in the code. flavortown.hackclub.com/projects/8323
๐ฅ@MeBadDev0added a hackclub ysws inspired devlog page
๐ฅ@Voidless0Resolutions for 2026
The huge 26 is MY year
๐ฅ@OwenGrumbles0Got a meshtastic node for Christmas (Lora 32 by heltic)
๐ฅ@DaVinci0I've been working on an app for a medical spa in my community: my first commissioned app!
๐ฅ@jollyroger1820[33/50] today i did:
โข worked more on @Winterflows-U0A025PMWCX but not a lot (like 2 hours), adding the rename & change description & pfp function!
โข spent wayyyyyyy too much time on slack :pf:
๐ฅ@shubhayu.banerjee090Hi! I'm shubhayu banerjee and I'm currently working on systems to translate sign language for the deaf in both online and offline scenarios!! If anyone is interested, i could dm/post my website so you could learn more.
๐ฅ@Voidless0again ran out of time to write much, but here are some screenshots
submitted design review for devboard, hopefully i qual for prototype im at 75% rn
๐ฅ@Scott1700I made a PCB ornament! The LEDs change colors :blobhypedance:
๐ฅ@snej550Today I spent some time finishing up SSAO (there were still a few bugs), and added FXAA (Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing). I might also add SMAA as an alternative in the future but I really want to move on to some more interesting stuff now (the acronyms alone are making me brain dead). I uploaded some screenshots, though the AA isn't that noticeable because of the compression.
๐ฅ๐ง @logabe0Day 18/50:
โข Made a projects page for my personal website - it still needs some work though.
โข Finally, FINALLY got Milkyway Pets working for macOS (I hope - I haven't been able to confirm whether it works)
โข Practiced clarinet for ~30-35 minutes. It's the first time I've played since I got sick, but I really want to make a habit of practicing most days.
โข Went out and practiced driving in the evening - I felt a lot more confident that last time (actually, less terrified might be more accurate)
โข Realised that I'd lost my 33-day Anki streak :noooovanish:
After spending my last month with exams looming over my shoulder, it feels so weird to have all this time to myself. I still want to manage my time better than I have in the past, and avoid spending too much time on YT and Slack - hopefully these goals can be reminders for future me.
๐๐ฅ๐@lraj230:50days: Day 18 of 50, I:
โข woke up kind of early but then went back to sleep because I originally went to sleep on a sofa then went to sleep upstairs on my actual bed :sleeping_accommodation:
โข worked on my high school application that just happens to have the same types of questions as @:jollyroger182:'s COLLEGE application :job-application:
โข went to visit someone's house for 5 hours, where I played 10 rounds of rummy and won the overall game (winning 3 rounds) :aces:
โข didn't have time (or really a need) to code since I already have more than 10 hours in siege (see below) :siege:
โข got 0 contributions on GitHub :githubparrot:
โข reached a Duolingo streak of 814 days :duo-knife:
๐ฎ๐ค๐๐๐ฅ๐@snej550Finally added SSAO to my OpenGL renderer! (which was the whole point of setting up a deferred renderer). It's a subtle effect, but it definitely improves the depth perception of the scene and now runs acceptably fast.
๐ข๐ฅ@sebasht1oon0just some more progress on my game about sleep paralysis (im getting there..)
๐ค๐ฎ๐ฅ@matmanna0made this library a little while ago but never officially "shipped" it here
do you play the electric guitar or bass? are you a fan of reverse engineering and/or (music) hardware hacking? if so, my new venture, Bender, might be interesting to you:
Aiming to liberate proprietary music hardware through protocol reverse engineering, my first project in this space, LtAmp.py, serves to enable interfacing with the LT-series amps produced by a certain giutar manufacturer that rhymes with Bender and names their products after horses. As of now, the library:
โข is fully MIT-licensed, source-available, and star-able on GitHub
โข is installable through pip and listed on PyPI (the python package index)
โข supports almost all basic functions including preset management, footswitch slot configuration, and metadata
โข enables the creation of other apps and tools such as CLIs, alternative GUIs, and augmentation platforms
โข is fully tested with the LT25 model (but should work with others such as 40-100 and Rumble)
โข is the first non-.NET solution for connecting to this series of amps (that I know of)
If you're at all interested in this project or anything else I'm planning at Bender, please leave a star (โญ), follow the GitHub org, or reply/DM/issue with suggestions, questions, ideas (I'd be thrilled to chat about anything but music tech excites me a lot!)
๐ธ๐ฅ๐ข๐โค๏ธ@ingobeans0hello!! last week I made a super mario maker inspired game for siege, called Goblin Maker! you can build and share levels, and browse levels made by other people!
Github: github.com/ingobeans/goblin-maker
Itch: gnarmi.itch.io/goblin-maker
the game was written in rust, but the server is a flask app hosted on Nest. entire project took about 35 hours :>
i'd love it if you checked it out (you can play in your browser)! make some levels! thanks <3
๐จ๐ฅ@Voidless0so much work, barely got to work on hc stuff yesterday
i was able to figure out how to add neopixels so that they shined thru the pcb
mostly worked on a school project
5 hours of sleep again ;-;
๐ค๐๐ฅ@TanishqGoyal0wazaaaa Just spawned, tired from volunteering all days but I got good feedback from my choreography so that was fun :D doing homework right now, will sleep. Attached is a costume I wore for a play.
๐ฅ@sebasht1oon0finally making some progress on my game about sleep paralysis
๐ฎ๐ค๐ฅ@ShyMike0Ever wanted to use multiple :wakatime-dark: WakaTime instances (eg. using both Hackatime and WakaTime at the same time) but waka-relay was just too hard to use?
Worry no more! I just finished working on my new project, timesplit that aims to make that much easier! :3
:github: Repo: github.com/ImShyMike/timesplit
(and if you do decide to use it, you should add rustytime to the list of server urls ;) - more info about it can be found on it's ship post)
