Today my #scrapbook ended! :sadge: :fireball: After 418 days my streak has officially come to an end! This morning I got the painful message from @scrappy-U015D6A36AG that I forgot to post last night. I completely meant to but it slipped my mind for the first time since I joined Hack Club :hack-club:, I had a lot of homework and projects so I couldn't post anything on time. That being said, although it was cool to keep it until this day, this is the last post I will do to my scrapbook and thanks to everyone who followed along for 418 days! ⚡

!channel Welcome, welcome…. to Stage 2 of our hike into the redwoods: ⚡D Alrighty, so, what is the *boogie* you may be wondering? We’ll be giving our Scrapbook all the features that it needs to be amazing for club leaders and members. The first stage of that begins today! So here’s what I’m asking from you 💬 in this thread, can you drop any ideas (as wild as you’d like) for features that’d help clubs! (and enjoy the short update video / weekly recap)

www.raycast.com/MatthewStanciu/lightning-time my raycast extension is live on the store. CONVERT TO LIGHTNING TIME TODAY!!!! ⚡ :raycast:

day 10 of #10-days-in-public: i'm currently running a purdue hackers hack night!!! for this hack night i changed the current time to display in lightning time ⚡ i imported my own npm package for the first time ever, which felt super duper weird. i also started working writing the explainer blog post, which is coming along nicely but i'm still not ready to share unfortunately :flooshed: i had a lot of fun working on this. it felt so good to be put back in a creative state, and #10-days-in-public really helped. thanks for the support :hug: @zrl can i have fudge now plz

day 8 of #10-days-in-public: today i made lots of progress on a blog for purdue hackers. the front page is not done yet—gonna get something up there and then go to bed. there's still more work to be done here but i'm happy with where it's at! unfortunately i don't think it's very likely that i'll ship lightning time by the end of #10-days-in-public, as i initially hoped. i have a paper due friday that i haven't started yet, and i think the lightning time blog post will require multiple iterations, and i don't think i have time for all of that. i'll do my best but i want to make sure it's good when i ship it. i'll share in here when i do ship it though :D

day 7 of #10-days-in-public: today was a travel day so i didn't get a lot done, but i set up a basic working example of mdx + contentlayer. contentlayer is super cool!!!! this is for an upcoming blog for purdue hackers that i will use to ship lightning time ⚡ tomorrow i will bring this from example sort-of-working thing to real blog!!!!

day 5 of #10-days-in-public: @purduehackers/time version 0.1 is out, now featuring some basic docs and an overhauled api! while writing them i thought of a few more thing this package needs. will probably add those tomorrow. i want to start setting up an mdx blog soon & start writing a blog post about lightning time. hoping to do that asap this week, maybe when i'm back home.

day 4 of #10-days-in-public: i've been working on a raycast extension for lightning time ⚡ i didn't do very much today, but i closed an issue on the raycast extension. tiny update: charges now appear in the lightning time string, and a new action was added to allow you to copy the string without the charges. tomorrow probably also won't be a super productive day, but i expect to update the npm package to allow users to change the default color representation.

Day 2 of #10-days-in-public: my npm package is now functional & you can play around with it! massive breaking changes will be made in the coming days but i'm glad there's something up now. www.npmjs.com/package/@purduehackers/time

day 1 of #10-days-in-public: i published an npm package! but don't install it because it doesn't work yet, because i don't know what i'm doing and did it wrong. i have to go to bed but i'll figure out how to make it work tomorrow

Almost done with the basic draft of what I'm going to be talking about at The Lightning Talk! My talk is going to about a fairly serious topic; however I don't want it to be boring so next up is to create really fun slides! Also, Obsidian is really cool, I'm loving the translucent glassy background.

Wahoo! Starting today, transferring money between Hack Club Bank organizations is instant ⚡ This means that the transferred funds will reflect in your account balance immediately, even before the underlying transaction arrives (which usually takes a couple days). Other incoming payments like donations and invoices aren’t quite instant yet, but if your event is coming soon and you have incoming funds still in transit, you can now ✨ request fronted funds ✨ from the details page of the donation/invoice—we’ll lend you the funds via an instant transfer. Read more about this update in the changelog.

Was too tired to post yesterday since I finished stuff at like 10pm. Goodbye streak x2 😢. Yesterday I helped another person program their extension and anonymous person sent me $50 in LBC this morning 🤫. I also did some stuff in FreeCAD and found some bugs :( as well as starting this "cheaper" keyboard matrix design that I got working today. Today I also got added into "special" development Discord for LBRY.

OK, I'm forcing myself to work on only one major project at a time. I'm prone to having way too many unfinished projects 😄

Today I got a CAT B35 with KaiOS. This phone and operating system are amazing. This is the future for the billions of people in the world still locked out of the smartphone market by the high price of entry, low durability, wastefulness, short battery life, complexity, unhackability, and general presumption of wealth endemic to the Android/Apple hardware ecosystems.

helped a friend finish his school project lmao (python room perimeter+volume calculator with unit conversion) i'd say my code is quite trashy and repetitive but hey everyone's gotta start somewhere:woo: (also never name your variables after your functions)
