@Kaplin867+Day 78 / 365
locked in on that website for the 2026 hackclub summer internship submission, and I think by tommorow I can finish it off lol. only issue is I dont know if a dino.icu domain is required. Im seeing that a lot of the people submitting having their sites with that domain. i uh. do not know how to get a dino.icu domain. glup. anyways i dont have much to mention outside of that.

๐ฆ๐๐จ@tacy0Day 15 of 50 days to 2026!
We are back on slack!!! It's been a rollercoaster and stuff broke but we now have enterprize! IRC was a super fun experience that I hope we continue using which leads me to my project for the day!
Since I had a fair bit of free time this afternoon I mostly just chatted with my friends on IRC but then got inspired to make a little LLM bot to play with! It actually worked shockingly well just hooking it up really simply but I improved it a bunch to have conversation history and to be able to jump into conversations when it felt like it. I nicknamed the bot tacy and gave it the personality of a sassy and slightly eccentric dino :)
My other project for the day was making a slack <> irc bridge! This ended up being super fun and there are still improvements to be made but all the basics work! You can link your username on slack to your nick on irc and when you send a message on irc it will display it with your profile picture on slack along with your name! For users that aren't linked they are assigned a random colored profile picture that is very similar to rainbow highlighting on irc clients. Images and files work as they are uploaded to the hackclub cdn and then shared as a link which many irc clients like halloy auto expand (this also works from the irc side to slack where it is rendered as an embed)! Formatting also works both ways and I created a custom slack mrkdwn parser to handle it!
If you want to try it in slack then use /irc-bridge-user to link your user to irc nick and /irc-bridge-channel to start syncing a channel. The respective unbridge version of those commands will unlink the two and there is a /irc-bridge-list command as well. You can try the sync in #C064DNF64LU| or #C09V3DYD4QK|
๐ท๐ค๐ฆ@stephanie0went to cognihacks and create a webapp called locked out with teammates! the headset isnt really working so we worked with virtual headset and simulation for the data, and worked on various different functions. i really love this team and we got to work actually on different parts of the webapp, so no merge conflicts (and conflicts) came out! i also implemented spotify control with web playback api since the normal web api auth was not working well after like 3 hours ish of testing out..? i think we are pretty close to the award since so many judges came and expressed their appreciation, but somehow the winner was someone with fake backend since no data can really be collected from the emotiv headset and how were they about to make prediction??? but whatever i love this team and i hope future hackathons as good as this one! the judge was even like "can i take a photo with your team" and asking for our linkedin :neocat_pensive: i feel so close to winning but maybe next time :angry-dino:

๐ฆ@ChessThinker0Day 1 of #C045S4393CY|
I began work on my #C08APN1CKEJ| submission. I don't have much experience with C, so this was a fun experience. The semicolons were sooooo annoying, but I got used to them. After some effort, I made a start button for a game idea. I was thinking a minimalist dino run thing would be cool.
๐ฎ๐ฆ@sahitid0:shipitparrot::ascend:ASCEND SHIP INCOMING:shipitparrot::ascend:
> last weekend, @michelle and i had the most unforgettable experience at ascend:ascend-planet: in LA where we were surrounded by 50+ girls & non-binary in tech, helping organize one of the most incredible hackathons i've been to this year.
of course, we still wanted to take the opportunity to build & ship a technical project so we spent majority of the day working on this AR simulation of a SpaceX Falcon 9 landing wherever you held up the SpaceX :spacex: logo with three.js, ar.js, & a-frame :aframe:.
we were content with mediocrity until, in a last-minute turn of events (and a motivating conversation with @zrl ), we realized we wanted to make something more meaningful:sleepy-dino:. something that addressed a real issue & we could own 100% of the code :meow_code: with.
and whatโs the #1 problem facing youth in america ๐ฆ today? thatโs right. there are no resources for underage gambling.:money-printer: ๐บ๐ธ
so, from the hours of 1โ5 am, @michelle and i went all in. armed with vanilla web dev, 2+ crash-outs, and sleep deprivation, we built a GAMBLING WEBSITE FOR MINORS. our project bridges the accessibility gap by offering an educational experience to prepare the next generation for the risks of losing it all. ๐ฒ

๐ thank you to @zrl for the wake-up call to redo our entire project at 1 am, and the entire#C07T6DEFD7U|organizing team ( @savina , @zoyashussain , @phaedra , @jeslyn , @elia , @andreayang ) for providing headshots that we used on the website. and most of all @ZenabH.

๐ฆ@KavishDevar0Been a long time since I actually posted something on here...
I have made an app for android (and linux) that makes using AirPods on those operating systems way easier and better. Do you know how much Apple likes to restrict most of the features to their devices. Well, I removed the restriction! I reverse-engineered how Apple devices communicate with AirPods and wrote an app for linux and android.
AirPods use the L2CAP Bluetooth protocol to communicate with apple devices.
The linux version of this app has multiple scripts. One of them runs as a daemon to handle the connection, and others to handle UI, userspace, like pausing music, lowering volume, etc.. I did this so that I can have multiple applications which can talk to the AirPods without interrupting the other one. It is written purely in Python. Currently, I have made a tray application using PyQT5/6. It manages ear detection, conversational awareness, and gives me control over ANC. And, it shows the battery level too!
As for the Android app, well I have attached a few images! Yes, I have tried to clone iOS's settings screen for AirPods. :okig:
The android app was a pain to work upon. For starters, Android's bluetooth stack sent extra packets to the AirPods to check for some flow control mode. The AirPods will not respond to anything until they receive a specific handshake packet. I had to download the entire android source to test out and edit the libbluetooth_jni.so (the bluetooth stack). Then, I used my smol brain to make a few changes to the source code (and by a few changes, i mean commented a few lines)... And, it worked!
Rant about Apple - Guess what- They hide their handshake packet from the PacketLogger app which allows me to view all the packets sent/received from my mac to any bluetooth device. Fortunately this was available online thanks to some other people who worked way before me. Apple even hid another packet necessary to activate Conversational Awareness and Adaptive Audio! Somehow, I got really, really, really lucky, and the packet just showed up in the PacketLogger app, shortly after which, it crashed. :confused-dino:
What works on the app โ
โข Accurate battery levels
โข In-Ear detection โ Music is automatically paused when they're taken out of ear! Plus, AirPods are removed as an available audio output device when none of the AirPods are in ear.
โข Conversational Awareness โ Lowers volume when you start speaking!
โข Set Noise Control Mode โ I can change the Noise Control Mode on my AirPods Pro 2!
โข Renaming AirPods
โข And a bunch of other settings extracted from the iOS/iPadOS settings page.
โฆ Namely, Toggle Conversational Awareness, Toggle Loud Sound Reduction, Set Adaptive Audio Noise level, Toggle Automatic ear detection, Off listening Mode, Tone Volume, Noise Cancellation with Single AirPod, Toggle Volume Control by swiping.
โข And, of course, a debug screen, which lists all packets received, and even allows you to send packets!

๐ฆ@LinuxDino0Portfolio project (Part 1): I created my first-ever portfolio using raw HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (No frameworks, just pure 2000s-style web designing). The concept around this portfolio is my character of the dinosaur, mainly themed around the Jurrasic time environment. I managed to complete the pre-home page which is a dino game, and the home page as well. I am taking a break from this for a while since I don't really have the motivation to finish this right now, it's been over a week since I edited this as I am on vacation as well. I have fallen as victim to the hands of laziness and relaxation. Anyways, GitHub repo: github.com/LinuxDinoGitHub/Portfolio24 Some screenshots and demos are attached.
๐ฆ@ArnnavKudale0For #arcade and #sprig I created a dino game! I also added an invincibility powerup!
๐ฆ๐ฎ@RyanFarnell-U04KNK837S40I finished writing the chrome dino game to work on an arduino (or other supported dev board, i used a pi pico) with an ili9341 display!
