And PyraHacks ended with over 250 projects shipped raising $2000 dollars for St. Jude! @blakedfreeman and I are so thankful to all the hackers, speakers, pledgers, and sponsors! Also a shoutout to @micahlt and @RobbieKhazan for helping us organize PyraHacks!!!
@sampoder1:codeday: ๐ธ๐ฌ We ran the first CodeDay in Singapore yesterday! We had a massive turnout and converted a retro cinema (that was formerly a disco dance floor) into a massive hackerspace. (ft @arsh7chetana, @Arash, @NeilGhosh & @neervikasv)
@sampoder1@msw & I have been updating Slash-Z to use Prisma
@J_cordz7+2021 is over, Hi 2022! I'm happy to start a new year where I hope to make amazing things. Today I started my new hacker journey with 3 small commits and did my first review on a Hack Club Repo, thanks for this @sampoder! Here's an image of my brand new year GitHub HeatMap and the one of my scrapbook, which it's a bit bugged because I post daily, but still, it's awesome to be able to work on amazing things and I hope to have great memories and moments on this year.
@sampoder1Built the worldโs most over-engineered next song button for github.com/sampoder/discovery. weird thing: the whole thing is being held together by the elastic strings of the mask I wore on friday lol@zfogg1Here's the secret project I mentioned,ย @hugo.y.hu935! i'm putting together something called....
โจย SAMBOXย โจ
The Sambox is little box that has a computer you can SSH into and instantly hack on a project and deploy it, with custom DNS and zero setupย :cooll-thumbs:. It has its own wifi router and everything. Just power it up and start hacking; you're good-to-go!
This Sambox will go on a journey. It's going to start by being mailed to a Hack Clubber, who will hack on it for a few days (until the timer runs outโฝ). We'll include four shipping labels with Sambox so that the first hacker can mail it to the second. The second hacker may change or customize anything on Sambox or contribute something new, and then pass it on to the third after the time runs out.
All hacking will be done OFFLINE on the Samboxย :yuh:
The final person to get Sambox will beย @sampoderย of course, who will plug it into the internet, putting all of the projects online!ย :yay:
Here's the shopping list. Parts arrive ~tomorrow~ today!
@ella3yay, my PR for hackclub/v3 got merged today. i rewrote the bank page in Next.js + theme-ui (formerly running on Gatsby and styled jsx). it took me a while, but i learned a lot. s/o to sam for helping me and reviewing my code!
@sampoder1Tonight, @arsh7chetana, @NeilGhosh & I managed to win the Junior AWS Build On ASEAN 2021 hackathon in Singapore :D We did the Cognizant track which was about creating positive communities and all. Anyways, our project was a website that let people look around for places where they can volunteer and then message the organisers, we had to focus on security and all so we built an ID verification system with SingPass (SG governmentโs OAuth system to have people log in with their national ID cards) and a few other things (some admittedly, a bit gimmicky). Anyhow, hereโs a screenshot. Weโve got a limited public version that we put up at comiteer.co & Iโve put the code up at github.com/sampoder/comiteer. First time winning a hackathon so Iโm pretty ecstatic lol, also had a ton of fun doing it yee
@sampoder1Iโve been trying out doing video workshops and am running a workshop right now at Prisma Day :prisma: that Iโm really proud of! itโs on Next.js & ISR with Prisma
itโs running in a couple of moments @ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw8AWFZlXXE and everything is open source @ github.com/sampoder/prisma-day-2021 :D
@matthewvandyke080Today I have officially reached 365 days of posting to my scrapbook. I started during Summer of Making last year just as something to do, but after the summer I kept up with it to keep myself accountable. If you go back you can see all my projects and updates from them that I have done since last year such as: Students Who Code, my portfolio, myDash, BrainDUMP, esports website, running Secret Santa, and so much more! Thank you to everyone who has followed along and thanks to @sampoder and @matthew for creating scrapbook! So now that 365 is done.....whats next?
@arek1231130Orpheus Leap arrived in my mail box today!
@caleb0Big news: scrapbooks now have RSS feeds! ๐ Visit yours by appending .rss to the end of your scrapbook's URL, e.g. scrapbook.hackclub.com/caleb.rss (doesn't support custom domains)
You should also be able to run /feed subscribe <https://scrapbook.hackclub.com/username.rss> to subscribe a Slack channel to your scrapbook, but I admittedly haven't tried it.
Thanks @sampoder for helping out! :sam-1:
@manasmw3330This is what I showcased in the #asiaconf
The self-stabilizing spoon was my Summer of Making project and now I'm shipping the version 2.0
I tried to reduce the size of the handle and also designed a custom PCB for the same.
I'll ship the final product once the 3D printed case is ready.
Thank you Hack club team and the SOM team.
Special thanks to @zrl @sampoder @roshan @annleefores.
You guys are awesome!@sampoder1just finished building <https://personal-project.co|personal-project.co> with Next.js, Theme UI & MDX for school! really liking how snappy it feels on mobile :)

@sampoder1today i presented.. the *CLIMATATOR*! itโs a 4D interactive media experience / climate change simulator that showcases the effects of climate change to a younger audience. you enter the cabinet, put an AR headset on, watch a fictional weather report from 2050, then you begin to feel the heat of a heatwave ๐ฅ (thereโs a strong heater inside), then you going on a bumpy ride (haptic motors) in a fire truck fighting wildfires :firefighter: (itโs still boiling from the heater and it intentionally smells of burning) and to end of your experience a cyclone with winds (a big fan) and shaking (haptic motors) ๐ + itโs got sound effects and a nice video (this is my myp personal project, goal was to create an engaging way of learning about climate change)
the wooden structure was put together with a lot of drilling and with the use of recycled materials to the extent possible. i learnt a lot about woodworking as this was my first ever real woodworking project.
*this is biggest project ever, itโs taken me since August to build this all outโฆ..* and iโm really proud of the final product. uses a mix of Raspberry Pi Python, Arduino, Next.js & Node.js to all work. the AR headset is powered by Holocron (www.npmjs.com/package/@sampoder/holocron)

@matthew0Today is Twin Peaks Day!!!!!! To celebrate, I forked @sampoder's profile pic changer and set it to change my profile picture to a random scene from Twin Peaks every 2 minutes github.com/MatthewStanciu/pfp
@Khushraj0Big ship coming up! ๐ข :shipitparrot:

@sampoder1Hosted an interactive sound festival this morning at school. Powering it was a massive system of NodeMCUs, a web app, python scripts, an API and groovy Sonic Pi code.
more: github.com/sampoder/sound-festival, videos in thread & thanks to zach and hq for helping with voiceovers
@googol0Iโve adapted @sampoderโs find a hack clubber project to generate a list of a random userโs frens via scrapbook webrings!! Makes we wish I had a scrapbook webring of my own ๐ข@sampoder1making my best attempt at blowing up my house
@riley33chou0made my scrapbook pretty with a little help from @sampoder โs scrapbook css workshop
@sampoder1This Christmas I got aย Jedi Challenges AR Headset from Santaย (thanks Santa!). I really like the game, but I wanted to be able to put custom applications on to it!
So I made Holocron :jediparrot: which is a React component that makes doing so super duper easy. It helps you size the window correctly and position the screen etc. It was my first time making a React component and I found the publishing quite difficult but I worked it out well: www.npmjs.com/package/@sampoder/holocron
I then built a demo app that shows the status of your Vercel deployments on your headset. It uses SWR and react-reveal to make it feel buttery smooth!
I also built one that implements the Slack events component on the Hack Club Website (here) on to it (sadly I ran out of time to put this in the demo vid but there are pics attached!
Here's the GitHub project for the package: github.com/sampoder/holocron.
And here's the demo video which I submitted to MLH's weekly hackathon...... and guess what?? Somehow, I won Best Overall Hardware Hack so I now get a free kit from ironically DigiKey (you still owe me money, no escaping) but my react component won best hardware hack lol!@sampoder1got hack club slack onto my jedi challenges headset! using www.npmjs.com/package/@sampoder/holocron
@ella3created a program to change my Slack pfp to different pictures of cats throughout the day (based on @sampoderโs Slack pfp workshop)
@sampoder1built a fun game! itโs called dance-x-factor:dancing-dino:
you scan the qr code (this is intended for tv screens around my school), it then starts the dancing, a tensorflow.js model (made using teachable) will then monitor your performance, then the x-factor judges (or what ever you call it i feel like there are 10 of the same shows) will give you the golden buzzer or the big red buzzer based on what the model felt
itโs not at all accurate but itโs fun!
source: github.com/sampoder/dance-x-factor
try: dance1.innovweek.co (note: this is designed to only be used by one client so if multiple people use it ๐ฅ )
this was a fun thing to make, tho it contained me dancing in a public library very quietly to train an ml modelโฆ have fun!! and ignore my 1am dancing
