Tell us about your side projects!

Hey CodeLand!

Throughout your experience at this year's event, we hope you get a chance to explore CodeNewbie Community on your own a bit and engage in some discussions. You can even start one of your own using this template (or by starting a new post and adding the #discuss tag).

This thread is part of an ongoing series of discussions before and during CodeLand 2022. Each post in the CodeLand 2022 Discussions series will be part of a special prize raffle after the event concludes. In other words you'll be automatically entered into a prize raffle just for commenting on this post before 11:59 PM PT on Friday, June 17, 2022.

In the thread below, tell us about your side projects! What are you working on? What ideas do you have for your next project? Did you buy that domain already?! etc.

My favorite silly little side project is a Twitter bot I made called @ICanHazHugzPlz that gives out free hugs!

Currently, I'm redesigning the repository website named "Awesome Web Monetization". With the participation of Netlify for providing me the open source plan, I'm changing all the code based on VueJS and Vite. With SCSS as a bonus !

You can see the WIP website here and the repository ✨☕

I am trying to buy my very first domain but there are still problems with NS1 - bummer.

I am currently working on a design system for my personal brand. A "side project" now, but hopefully much more in the next few months.

I've been getting into the AI art generators recently and it's taught me a lot about machine learning!

The Disco Diffusion notebook is a great place to start and the community is very active. The notebook can generate a picture or a series of pictures based on a text prompt. It can make coherent videos (latest update adds more functionality with using an init video as an added prompt) and with a bit of practice and research I've made some really cool stuff 😎

Currently I'm working on a website about plants - one of my favourite topics so it's a perfect base for a project of mine because getting bored is harder

I’m currently working on a template for projects related to a series I’m working on and I've gotten back into 3D printing and modeling.

I have just finished a project for my portfolio class called Halo Fakepoint. For any Halo players, if you are familiar with Halo Waypoint, it is a smaller scale mock of that website. It is a MERN stack application. It accesses the Halo API for primary game data. The database holds user/account data and their friends they add to a friends list on the website. There is more work to be done like creating a fully functional sign in/sign up. The friends list and user are separate collections so I need to structure the user collection to include the friends list so it is different for each user. Trying to make these changes/additions to go live with it and see real people use it.

I am currently working on an EPL players search engine. Basically it just sumarizes player information obtained by scraping EPL website.
It is meant to be a portfolio project.

I'm working on launching my YouTube channel. That's why I haven't posted much here on DEV and CodeNewbie. It is close to being ready to launch. Coding wise, I'm planning on building my own wedding website. I got engaged last month so I've been looking into how I could build my own wedding website.
