Shelly 🐚

  • chat app that acts as a fish front end with the ability to drop into a small llm trained on fish & unix
  • rationale: people are afraid of terminals but they can be friendly, and no one’s afraid of text interfaces for chat apps, so what if the terminal -was- a chat app between you and the kernel?
  • Android keyboard style autocomplete in a bar above the keyboard

Pre-SiFive Dev Ideas

Tranalytics.gay

  • Build with streamlit and pandas
  • Beautiful soup to scrape the prices of estradiol synthesis from chemical manufacturers
    • Estrone
    • Lithium Aluminum Hydride
    • Calcium Hydride
    • Sodium Borohydride
  • Start with -just- β-estradiol prices and availability from the top 10 chemical manufacturers (figuring that out is its own question), then add in the precursors
  • MVP version (0.1.0):
    • Scrape the price of -just- estradiol powder, at -just- 1 company (Sigma or Fisher), -just- once a day
    • Add those values to a df and display a line chart (x: time, y: price) on the home page
  • Next Steps:
    • Instead of adding more data, create a rest api so you can grab the df values
    • Make a react app that displays the same chart
    • Port the react app to mobile (android only)
  • Version 0.2.0:
    • Add in more manufacturers
    • Add in precursor chemicals
    • Find a good way to display them (maybe separate pages entirely?)
    • Add an About Page
    • Determine best practices for project management so I don’t get overwhelmed
    • If it’s working well, open project up to the public, ask for things that could be done better (especially focusing on the stats/data viz side, since I’m weaker in that)

Scrape from angel.co to see number of jobs by technology

  • Use separate job titles (data scientist, full-stack engineer, etc.) as group factors
  • Hone in on the ones most likely to get me a job
  • Use selenium to input the parameters (don’t think bs4 can handle this)

Pd.js: Pure Data reimplemented in JS with the webaudio api

  • React
  • Note: this would be a huge project

Tarot app

  • More interesting than standard cards
  • Maybe program old Italian games that actually used them back in the day?

arewetcoyet.com

  • check tail call optimization of browsers

User-friendly Array Language

  • do to APL or J what José Valim did to Erlang
  • Maybe just port an existing language over to an array-based core?

React Native Pocket Operator, PK-83

  • Keep the same interface as the PO-20 except:
    • no game & watch display
    • no knobs
    • instead fill space with name & 2 sliders
    • (maybe xy pad instead?)
    • FM instead of 8-bit sounds
    • Black & Grey with Teal, Peach highlights

Other PK series

  • PK-94 sampler
  • PK-60 Juno

Write a Common Lisp compiler in Rust (or zig)

  • Definitely start with a Scheme compiler
  • Make it a modernized superset of SBCL-compatible CL (bake in the functional stuff and nice data types from Alexandria and Serapeum)

Gameboy Color Lisp editor

  • Pokemon style menu interface with keywords clustered into common types
    • I/O
    • Conditionals
    • Def and Set\!
    • Math
    • Lists
    • Recently used
  • Global taskbar at the bottom, prompt right above that
    • Commands
    • Keyboard
    • Status
    • Options?
  • Maybe something really terse like APL or Forth would be better?

  • First prototype: model after either the Z80 or 6502, something well-documented
