@JomarMilan0A few days ago, I discovered TiddlyWiki. It looks like software that's perfect for the way I'd like to take notes! Typesetting programs like Typst and word processors are good for single documents, but not for multiple linking documents like I'd prefer to take notes in. I also don't like block-based text edtiors, and I'm pretty sure this is an unpopular opinion, but I despise taking notes in Markdown, which I've noticed is used a lot by note-taking software. With TiddlyWiki I get to use the capable WikiText syntax and access the wiki wherever I bring the file, as long as it has a web browser! With a USB stick I'm able to access my wiki on any of my computers or even public computers like at the local library without downloading anything or logging into any accounts, which is great! It reminds me of MediaWiki, but I think that for a single user's notes, TiddlyWiki is a lot more practical.
I also like it's customizability! Like MediaWiki, you can extend its functionality with plugins and use custom stylesheets. I've already started using both features. I wrote a plugin for TiddlyWiki which lets you encrypt tiddlers independently and by tag. The core TiddlyWiki only allows you to encrypt the entire wiki. There's a plugin with similar functionality, Encrypt Tiddler Plugin by Daniel, but in my opinion my version is more intuitive. It's also possible to have different placeholder texts set in my version!

@SkyfallWasTaken0Just shipped #C091PEQP7CJ|! It's like #C07UJMV9389| but for Summer of Making, and gives you updates for stock changes, new items and price reductions!
I took a lot of what I learnt from High Seas Monitor and Arcade Monitor to make the codebase more maintainable and easy to hack on!
•
happy-dom (dom library for nodejs/bun) is used to parse the som shop's html
• 🚢 arktype (a library to validate the shape of types) is used for safe env vars, better intellisense, and to ensure that the scraping script isn't reporting false/undefined data because of a page change (it'll stop the script from running further and pinging people for false updates)
•
sentry is used to monitor errors. since the bot does html scraping, it can be slightly fragile - sentry (to report errors) + arktype (to throw errors) help prevent that from happening
•
jsx-slack lets you use jsx instead of json for block kit! while it doesn't use react, it helps keep your code a lot shorter and you get better intellisense. i use it for all the bot's messages and it's been a joy to use!
•
bun to use typescript/tsx without a bundler + for superfast package management!

@ViviTheQueen0me and my friend just spent 3 hours getting this to work. it was one line of code@MinglangDu1Going to download all my code onto this micro sd card on Monday
@PianoMan00Day 1 of remaking the Hack Club homepage!
@Codimo0very rough architecture for my upcoming discord bot with dash and no-code drag drop command builder : D
@sonicx1800Working on an english project, decided to code for it, cursed code right here
@Ranger0Over the last month, I have been revamping my personal site using react. And I'm quite proud of it!
The mobile version is still buggy, but I think desktop version has the spirit :D
As always the source code is on my GitHub!

@santiago0improved the README.md of the github repository on the project i'm working for shipwrecked, at the same time, i'm happy to finally rework most of the code on the code base so it didn't look so messy...
@Deployor0Maturing is realizing it was never your code, but the adblock was just blocking the feature flags </3
Woooo All my things work again
@MinglangDu1Did some USACO today for homework. It was quite frustrating but eventually I debugged my code.
@Gus0spent a few hours making a little #C08PJMATU8Y| submission! it's a bookmarklet that gathers a bunch of data on the subdomains of a website into a nice little ui. it was fun getting typescript to compile to bookmarklet.
code @ github.com/gusruben/dns-snooper-bookmarklet
@MinglangDu1created some extremely unoptimal code (exponential time complexity) for stockship. Takes around 10 minutes to run lol.
definitely optimizing, or setting as a forbidden setting option buried deep in a menu if I can't optimize it
@ChrisB0Refactored all my code into a class with better methods and less global vars, now it'll be easier to dynamically compile shaders and change uniforms during execution!@Irtaza0After digging through Sprig’s schematics, figuring out the right CircuitPython libraries, and spending countless hours debugging errors in Thonny’s serial shell, I finally got my <https://github.com/Irtaza2009/Hackamon|Hackamon code> (submission to #C0809PN4TPE|
) running on an *Orpheus Pico* on *Sprig*

@AryanGupta-U088CM6P9BN0My first time posting something here
I found a vulnerability on a website and exploited it( Educationally, cmon i put disclaimers for fair use)
It is a automation script for making it easier for someone to use it
It works on exploiting a loophole left by the devs of the website, and that is NOT PUTTING limitations on their usage of resources.
They didn't gave the consumer root access, but maybe it was not enough.
The script, for ease of access does everything for you, you just need an alt gmail id and a monero wallet, and you are set for mining.

but i made the current dot highlighted and since my code was getting messy i moved the dot into its own Svelte component - this'll make it much easier to add the dot logging feature tomorrow 👀

@Gus0probly shoulda posted this when it was still in action but the first thing i did when i got back from china was make a tiny slack bot to randomize my profile picture every 30 minutes to a random photo i took while i was there!
code @ github.com/gusruben/slack-pfp
includes a setup guide if anyone else wants to do something similar!
@mathias0Working on my bookmarklet for Hacklet.
It will open a popup to ask a question to AI (ai.hackclub.com) and he can also execute code for you!
@ChrisB0Well, that was a nightmare.
I have spent the last hour and a half debugging what turned out to be a single line of code, but other than that, today i have started work on the gpu conversion of my walkers thingy.
Basic rundown of how it works.
I store the data for each walker in a texture, I keep their position and time alive, but not much else. In my case, I store the x position in the top left of an image, (see below), encoded as a 32 bit float (using all four channels because webgl 1.0 only supports 8 bit color channels), the top right keeps the y position. In the bottom left, I keep the time alive (in frames) in the r channel, and whether to render or not (as a bool, 0 or 1) in the g channel. The bottom right is at this point unused.
Each frame, I take the previous's frames texture, and render over top of it, updating using a fragment shader (which is not yet written
)
Then, I pass that texture to another vertex shader, which generates a bunch of points based of of each pixel in the texture.
In theory, its super easy, but in practice... not so much.
Encoding the float over the four color channels was not fun, as I kept getting a normal distribution of points even when the initial texture was completely random (and uniform, I checked). I spent a couple hours trying to work that one out only to discover I hadn't unbound one of the webgl globals, so that was fun. Calculating the uv coordinates based only on the point index was ok, but implementing a ping pong frame buffer for the texture update frag shader was a bit tricky. Tomorrow I'll try and get this working, so I've got them functional and moving.

@ChrisB0Just a quick update before I have dinner.
Just been working on some more quaternion stuff - this time: Spherical Linear Interpolation. If you know standard interpolation, its just that, but for quaternions. Who would've guessed. I'm pretty sure the "spherical" part comes from the fact it's about angles or something, but tbh I'm not really sure.
Anyway, it lets you interpolate between two different quaternions, which is pretty neat. I set my code up so there's two rotating torus (toroids? tori? toruses?? who knows...) off axis from each other, and a third which interpolates between them depending on an input.
More coming after dinner, but probs not until tmmrw because I'm not writing one of these at midnight lol.
- Blue slerps between red and green.@ChrisB0I have reworked the code! Now its neatly commented and actually way more tidy.@ChrisB0Done a bunch of stuff since last scrapbook! I have:
• made a torus (from triangles, programmatically)
• implemented lighting. Specular, diffuse, and ambient.
• Moved lighting to frag shader (phong shading method)
• Culling (not rendering back faces) and depth testing (further away objects are drawn behind closer ones)
• Point lights and directional lights
• Texture mapping!
• Made a sphere as well lol
Next steps:
• Multiple textures
• Rework code so I don't have to rewrite like 100 lines every time I want to change a model / the scene.
• Quaternions (of some description, just what the tuto website says lol)
• Mayb get a better setup so I don't have to run like 5 cmds whenever I open vscode
@SkyfallWasTaken0A while ago, I made Vortex - an email shortener made with
Rust and
React!
However, the UI has always been lacking (to put it mildly), so I decided to make a bunch of improvements to the site:
• Better colour usage and styling
• Better 404/error pages
• Email logos! When you get an email, it now shows the company logo to make things look nicer
• Emails are now sorted in the list
• Better styling for plain text emails in dark mode
• You can now clear the emails from the server to improve privacy
• SSR! Which means faster page loads and better SEO
• Code quality is easily 10x better
• Rust deps are now up to date
• Redis is now the database for the site so that emails don’t get lost on updates
• CI actually works now
Give it a try! vortex.skyfall.dev
Vortex has 12+ (sub)domains so you don't have to worry about getting blocked!
@MohammedZaid0Just booted an Ubuntu Server on my raspberry pi zero 2w ! gonna use it to code in vim and make terminal programs!!
@NadeenI.0A while ago, I designed the merch + logo for “Jua”, the Athena event in Nairobi by Hack Club! ☀️ I am so lucky to have been part of something this bold and creative (P.S check out #C05T8E9GY64| for girls/gender diverse teens!!)

#C0M8PUPU6|!🚢
Last year I made a database of every name of U.S. citizens. Over the last couple of weeks, I made a web tool to view this data! If you’re a data nerd like me, you can see where names are most popular, and where the name is more popular. It features a table, graph, maps, and much more. FYI, It will omit any names with under 5 people born that year for privacy reasons.
This has been a really fun dataset to work with. The site is made with Next.js
