What's your quarantine side project?


Two weeks ago @dhr asked the same question. Any progress for those who posted something last time? Any new project since then?

I just posted https://github.com/ecaradec/j86 today. Its a compiler for a mini language to optimized x86 assembly register. It does a few optimisations like register allocation and some constant propagation. I learned a lot doing it.

Coincidentally, I just posted this on HN: an animation tool for kids, at https://drawa.live

This came out of watching my son do animations with Flipaclip, and thinking there must be a better way to do simple animations.

Yep, making progress. Slowly, but surely: https://contextualise.dev/
