@py6600Taking a break from Type/JavaScript and going back to Java to make a combat log timer plugin (HAHA NOT A MOD THIS TIME): TIL about ConcurrentModificationExceptions, and how to use an Iterator to avoid it!
@MinglangDu1Did some usaco and other competitive programming
@rmfosho0got image metadata read properly using id3js! also got websockets working for connecting to main server, should be interesting finally getting it to communicate with the ai server 😄
@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!

@Chxshi0For the past 11 days i've been building this powerfull custom TCP HTTP server from scratch.
Test it but read the user guide first to understnad how it works and how you should navigate on it!!!

@Meghana1apex update: we are so back@SK0Yo, first time playing with FFmpeg and uh... I kinda got the Bad Apple music video to play in terminal ASCII. It's kinda cursed but it works
Repo's here if you wanna peek: github.com/SajagIN/vidminal

@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!
code's at github.com/skyfallwastaken/som-monitor. dual licensed under MIT and Apache 2.0.@IshikaKumar0✨ hey hey! test players needed for my game! ✨

@Neon0Hi! for the past week i have been working behind the scenes to make @SummerofMaking & @explorpheus which are used in #C015M4L9AHW| and handles inviting new users to the slack and upgrading them!
You can demo it by using a new email on summer.hackclub.com
@py6600Going from Java (with #C07NQ5QAYNQ|) back to plain old JavaScript made me realize how powerful typing (not physical keyboard typing, data types typing) actually is—especially with an autocomplete that tells you what data types goes in and out, leaving no room for interpretation. Of course, this is literally my first few days with Java and TypeScript, so excuse any mistakes 🙂
TYPESCRIPT FTW!
@zakkbob0Finally learnt what gpg keys actually are, and made my own...
Now I get a fancy tag next to my git commits
@JacobAustin0Next project: building realistic animatronics to give myself nightmares with 👍 👍
I’m working off of Will Cogley’s latest animatronic eye mechanism before I go in to learn about it and design a set myself. Just bought the electronics and am working on printing the parts now! @sonicx1800stuff for #C08QBKX5WCD| ysws!
@ChristieB0Does anyone know the best way to deploy a project for free, with the ability to connect a local postgres, passwords/secrets and node backend, and have it publicly available?
I need to deploy it for the Athena Award but don't want to spend money.
I have my project on Github for reference:

@AlexanderBerman0Hey everyone! I've been building a student-led organization, <https://codingthefuture24.github.io|Coding the Future>, that offers free virtual coding classes and tutoring to students around the world. We have over 40 students from 10+ countries, and we'll be running coding classes throughout the summer.
I'm looking for your help to continue growing this organization! If you're passionate about coding, want to make an impact, or are interested in gaining teaching and leadership experience, please consider joining us as a tutor and/or team leader.
Here are some forms that you can fill out to show your interest:

@MinglangDu1I am now guaranteed to get X-Camp's 4.0 Award! (repost with better image)
@MinglangDu1I am now guaranteed to get X-Camp's 4.0 Award!
@zakkbob0Started setting up timetagger then somehow spent 5 hours researching bcrypt and compiler optimisations instead.
@MinglangDu1I am now one problem away from X-Camp's 4.0 award
@RahdeenS.0Differential swerve drive I'm working on.@MaadhavBhatt0Started working on the Slack bot component of Fork This Idea. This is a tool that helps you send project ideas out into the world as you chat and work in Slack.
Follow along in #C08PCRXFN2E| on the Hack Club Slack, GitHub, and here!
@provrb0adding notifications, not a frontend dev so please give me suggestions on the notifications in the bottom right.
do you think this conveys a message/notification efficiently and concisely?
is the close button obvious?
is the text too compact?
@zakkbob0Somehow already managed to screw up vikunja. But its fine because its mostly fixed now. (Note for future me: don't switch to an unstable release before backing up the database!)
