> last weekend, @michelle and i had the most unforgettable experience at ascend
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
logo with three.js, ar.js, & a-frame
.
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
. something that addressed a real issue & we could own 100% of the code
with.
and what’s the #1 problem facing youth in america 🦅 today? that’s right. there are no resources for underage gambling.
🇺🇸
so, from the hours of 1–5 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. 🎲

💌 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. (the coolest canadian i know) for the yap & moral support.
@toby0GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE! MERRY SUNDAY!! let me tell a bit of a story. it was yesterday afternoon, and @zoyashussain reminded me that the swift student challenge submission date was tomorrow (thank you zoya!!!!) so, i scrambled to make an app!
enter MOL!! mol is a mini app on your iphone and apple watch that lets you view the elements of the periodic table and all of their properties! 🧪
🧑💻
mol ios: github.com/tobyab/ssc24 📱
mol watchos (my favourite mol): github.com/tobyab/mol ⌚
(i'll combine the repos at some point)
it's not on the app store (yet!), since i don't have an apple developer account. but do clone the repos and run them on your devices if you wanna give it a whirl! pls enjoy!
thank you for reading!!! 💖
(p.s, i don't understand chemistry, so none of this made sense to me either :P)@toby0GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE!

(p.s, i don't understand chemistry, so none of this made sense to me either :P)@Cheru0thought i might as well post what i did yesterday to get into a habit of scrapping!
did some genuinely fun physics (1), had a meeting with @DaisyReyes-U046V3EK56W working on revamping HCB documentation (2), & had a call with @zoyashussain where we discussed starting/joining an frc team among other things (3). also, my PCBs arrived (4)!
