Can confirm this is what scanning the QR code does. I just went through this to get my Google dev account verified.


I’m working on a story time utility.(https://bedtimebookhelper.com/)

You build up a library from your physical books by scanning them in or discover OpenLibrary books to read in app. Then as you mark books in your library as read, it starts building a rotation and recommending books you haven’t read recently. I’ve been using this nightly to track my son’s 1000 books before kindergarten for the last couple of months.

Currently, I’m working to get the app out on Google Play and adding multiple story time attendee support.


I’m getting ready for the first release of a story time app my wife and I have been using for reading to our son.

The scope creeped to book discovery and ebook reading with OpenLibrary from just tracking and personal library recommendations.

But we have been able to incorporate new books into the story time rotation so I’m convinced it’s worth it.

It’s definitely been fun experiencing the range of quality for kids books in the internet archive.

I’m aiming for a May 1.0 release on iOS and Android.


I've been working on an app to track my son's 1000 books before kindergarten. I've also added QOL features like barcode scanning for adding books to the library and creating a rotation based on the last time the book was read and whether I actually enjoy reading it. (The books I don't like make it through the rotation just with less frequency.)

This was an excuse to ship a mobile app for the first time and get familiar with supabase.

After these last few bugs are fixed, its ready for a semi-public TestFlight with our friends who have kids.


A hot reloadable menu library for raylib / raygui applications in Zig.

I want to use this for future raylib games as a developer menu.

I wanted to learn more Zig and be able to add or remove game state fields to and from the screen without having to recompile.


I’m really curious about your experience, what distro you used hyprland on, what dotfiles did damage to your install etc.

I just installed hyprland yesterday and outside of having to switch back to i3 once to install what they had set for a terminal in their default config(kitty), I haven’t had to leave again.


Asahi and hyde. "Nasty damage" isn't irreparable, but it would be significant effort to enumerate every small touch that affects defaults from other DEs and restore them. There is no "restore all touched configs to default" afaik. Since my asahi install was a lightly used toy anyway I just reinstalled. My next attempt will be with a VM that I make image backups of.


What does hyprland offer over i3?


From my experience, nice decorations. I haven't gone further than getting a top bar set up and getting my normal shortcuts setup.

I'm sure I'm not getting everything everything I could out of it.

I'm on my fraternity's alumni board. The chapter has been using spread sheets for everything since I was an active member. Every year, information about recruitment gets lost in the shuffle between officers.

I've been working on a bespoke CRM for them to prevent the spreadsheet rot while providing some helpful visualization and making their data easier to use in the feature. The goal is to make the entire recruitment process self documenting.

Its slowly evolving into a way to keep track of actives and alumni, as well as ways for actives to interact with the recruitment process.
