Hey Fedi. Folks on LinkedIn: I just vibecoded a blockchain-enabled, quantum-resistant, autonomous B2B CRM ERP thingy. I’ll be selling it for billions and ruling the world.

Me: Hey, "accibot" just opened a PR to update the version of Go in my project again… and this time it even beat Renovate to it. Nice 👍! (...) I should really revisit this exercise / PoC / side project someday.

Continued thread

I still don’t have a clear end goal for these projects, but as I mentioned, that’s not the priority. Maybe it’s extra income, launching a business, or exploring what I can’t at my day job.

Managing a personal project requires commitment but also flexibility to adapt and learn. Every day brings a small step forward, and those small steps turn into big achievements over time.

If you’re in the same boat, I encourage you to try it out and share both your methods and results 😉 #sideProjects

Let me introduce you to Herding Cats, a little thinking and writing corner I just set up on #ghostio to discuss tech #ecosystem and #community building 🐱

Maybe the ecosystem/partner relations and community folks among you will find it worthwhile to read along (yes, it's niche, but nothing a PhD can't handle 🤓) I've come to realise I miss writing as a mode of thinking and connecting with like-minded people, and I've grown weary of the LLM-induced listicle feast. Reason enough to set up Herding Cats.

Happy to get feedback - and contributions! First up is an invitation to send me your fun #sideprojects to be featured if you want.

I've been working on my Scrivener text analyzer over the weekend and while I initially thought that it might take about 3 - 4 days at least to see progress, I've been able to get to a fairly functional level in just two days 🙂

At this point, I have a working app which can load a Scrivener document, extract just the manuscript text, parse it and provide information and identify components of text — like unique words, or repeated words and the word count.

If you select one of the words from the list, the viewer highlights every occurence of the word in the document. So I'm very pleased with where things are now 🙂

All that remains is to do the following:
1. Add the ability to detect specific types of words like nouns, verbs, adjectives etc.
2. Add the ability to detect/hightlight specific words or phrases added by the user.

At that point, I believe it does everything that I want it to do. This should work on any platform but I have only tested under macOS. If anybody is interested in testing it out, let me know and I'll see about setting up a download.

J'avais un peu oublié ça au cours de ces dernières années, mais c'est fou à quel point j'aime travailler sur des #sideprojects 🧑‍💻

J'en suis à ~6 heures cette semaine sur un bug majeur qui impacte plusieurs utilisateurs de mon addon #firefox InMyPocket, j'ai répondu à des feedbacks sur le store, et déjà ça me donne envie de recommencer à taper dans le backlog et d'améliorer encore plus tout ça 🚀
