@Raymond-U04DEFEPSES0Went to the Github fireside chat event in Singapore with @sampoder today and met the CEO and vice president of github! It was an amazing time and we got some free swag too.
@cytronicoder0Day 5/6 of #10-days-in-public :lioncityhacks:
It was Lion City Hacks yesterday: massive shoutout to @sampoder and his team for organising this whole event! We had a lot of fun (and stickers), and the team learned a lot of key designing tools and programming skills along the way. Additionally, our meme/coin project is still underway at #samcoin, so if you want to contribute to it, join the channel now! :coin-mario:
Today, I participated in a math competition and chilled the whole day - got a bit sick so going to sign off early. :sleep:
@Raymond-U04DEFEPSES0Today, my team and I attended the Lion City Hacks hackathon hosted by Innovation Circut and I've learnt a lot about working in a stressful environment where time management is hugely important. Thank you @sampoder and the organizers for organizing my first in person hackathon!
@cytronicoder0Day 4 of #10-days-in-public! T-1 day until #lioncityhacks, and I spent some time tonight working with @sampoder and the Innovation Circuit team on setting on the event space :lioncityhacks:
We got the banner onto the booth, set up the registration table w/ loads of sticker, and set up the polaroid camera. I am really excited for tomorrow 🚀
@sampoder0Today, I tried out :redwoodjs:RedwoodJS for the first (I’m planning to start using it in a new project!).
As I was playing around, I made this small website that housed a collection of dinosaur images! It was interesting messing around with Redwood’s generators & how Redwood uses Prisma.
🌲 Into the redwoods I go...
@karolina0translated hack club's global site into polish! not sure if i did everything right... lmk @sampoder :))
@reesericci0I just had the funniest, most panicked phone call ever with 1-855-62-HACK - i got to talk to @sampoder@deven and @msw. while they were boarding (not @deven) tho. i got put on hold for like 10mins by @deven it was incredible.
@Jaden0sent a pr to www-assemble and sam accepted it in less than 30 seconds
@abby1Coded a preview / added a meta tag (thanks @Ishan + @sampoder for ur advise) for my website. Craig Newmark ( craig’s list founder) tweeted about it!
@philipstudentemail0@sampoder lead an amazing Kaboom workshop at PyraHacks today! 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!!!
@sampoder0:codeday: 🇸🇬 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)
@sampoder0@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.
@sampoder0Built the world’s 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@zfogg0Here's the secret project I mentioned, @hugo.y.hu935! i'm putting together something called....
✨ SAMBOX ✨
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 setup :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 out‽). 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 Sambox :yuh:
The final person to get Sambox will be @sampoder of course, who will plug it into the internet, putting all of the projects online! :yay:
Here's the shopping list. Parts arrive ~tomorrow~ today!
@ella0yay, 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!
@sampoder0Tonight, @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 government’s OAuth system to have people log in with their national ID cards) and a few other things (some admittedly, a bit gimmicky). Anyhow, here’s a screenshot. We’ve got a limited public version that we put up at comiteer.co & I’ve put the code up at github.com/sampoder/comiteer. First time winning a hackathon so I’m pretty ecstatic lol, also had a ton of fun doing it yee
@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! 🎉 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!@sampoder0just 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 :)

@sampoder0today i presented.. the *CLIMATATOR*! it’s 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 🔥 (there’s a strong heater inside), then you going on a bumpy ride (haptic motors) in a fire truck fighting wildfires :firefighter: (it’s 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) 🌀 + it’s 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, it’s taken me since August to build this all out…..* and i’m 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
@sampoder0Hosted 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.
