Every new project seems to be an AI project that's a wrapper ontop of ChatGPT or some library.<p>What are cool non-ai projects you're working on and why?
And what tech is behind?<p>Cheers!
I measure the wait times at the Berlin immigration office. This makes the residence permit application process a lot more predictable.<p>It's not super complex. A Django backend and a VueJS frontend. The small innovation is using localstorage to save a modification key, so that people can update their existing feedback without dealing with emails and logins. I also email people a reminder to update their feedback after 2 and 6 months, since people tend to forget to do that.<p>It's working pretty well. We gathered more feedback in a month than we'd normally do in a year or two. It's immensely useful in support to my residence permit application guides.<p>Result: <a href="https://allaboutberlin.com/guides/auslanderbehorde-wait-times" rel="nofollow">https://allaboutberlin.com/guides/auslanderbehorde-wait-time...</a><p>Explanations: <a href="https://nicolasbouliane.com/projects/immigration-office-wait-times" rel="nofollow">https://nicolasbouliane.com/projects/immigration-office-wait...</a>
Not a tech project, but I've been writing about research in economics, philosophy, and math/logic from 100, 150, and 200 years ago. It's been a rewarding experience and helps build context around the typical canon in various fields.<p>Here's my look at 1874: <a href="https://bcmullins.github.io/research-from-1874/" rel="nofollow">https://bcmullins.github.io/research-from-1874/</a>

I've shared ScreenMemory [0] before, but I just released a 2.0 redesign so why not. It records your (macOS) screen and gives a calendar / timeline to explore. You can then revisit what you did. I use it daily and mainly to go through my day before standups, it's incredibly how much side-tracking I do and completely forget each day.<p>Tech is quite simple, all native frameworks from Apple.
