Just another day of working on my puzzle hunt platform... ?

@Thu, Oct 29

I love figma

@Sun, Oct 25

I think this is ship-worthy!!! This is the biggest overkill in the history of overkill: I built a full-fledged platform for Jeopardy-style virtual puzzle hunts (can also be used for CTFs) in 4 months, and I finished today! It's built on top of Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, caches information locally, and pulls competition puzzles from Airtable for easy modifications. It also comes with a companion standalone announcement/alert system for real-time communication with your competition attendees. First run of it will be in a few weeks at a <https://integirls.org/puzzle|puzzle hunt> run for middle/high school female/nb students (you should signup if you are eligible!) Still figuring out how to deploy everything across multiple servers so students from around the world would have no trouble using the platform, but that won't take long! Code is very rushed, but it's completely open-source github.com/itsmingjie/infinity.

@Thu, Jul 16

alright joining the exciting class enrollment gang, 3 days of class only 🤷‍♂️

@Thu, Jul 16

Just moved to the basement and figured my mom likes to walk behind me even if I’m on a call. So I wrote this “ON AIR”-styled app to make her aware of my status before she runs into the camera 🙃 (updated by an API endpoint, so I can control it from iOS shortcuts, Zapier, or by yelling at my Alexa)

@Wed, Jul 15

Fall WFH distraction-free setup in basement is ready! Starting tomorrow you’ll be enjoying my new call background :$

@Tue, Jul 14

Started working on a commissioned piece of software today

@Sat, Jul 11

Virtual... Virtual DSLR?

@Sat, Jul 11

took time today to chat with my college advisor 🙂

@Thu, Jul 9

Changed the streaming name badge to match @melody's Figma-styled overlay! This is what it looks like on the stream when you were asking questions during the AMA.

@Thu, Jul 9

Tbt Flagship

@Fri, Jul 3

300+ lines of code this morning to finish up data feeder for Execute Big Research... We're ALMOST live!

@Thu, Jul 2

Recorded an opening video for CodeLabs... @Kognise anything looking familiar?

@Thu, Jul 2

This, my dear kids at CodeLabs, is how you were half-automatically, half-manually matched to your mentors.

@Thu, Jul 2

Started rebuilding my resume... this time not for college apps or internship application 🙂

@Tue, Jun 30

I started off this morning by thinking to myself: maybe, just maybe, writing plain HTML code will work for a large form. And yet here I am, writing a mix of plain HTML components and dumbly parsed JSON data partials. I really should start looking into React.

@Mon, Jun 29

Shipped megan-bingo.glitch.me uwu

@Sun, Jun 28

Solved the "Airtable form is way too long" but "API does not support file upload" problem with a somewhat creative approach

@Sun, Jun 28

Made... barbecue with a family friend.

@Fri, Jun 26

It’s been 5 years since I got this piano and this is the first time I’m setting up MIDI input and paddle shortcuts on it! I guess I can finally record down my random melody ideas now

@Fri, Jun 26

I guess this counts as a positive contribution twitter.com/thesephist/status/1276324927646453766?s=20... and I also subsequently contributed an hour of my time :codeday:

@Thu, Jun 25

Started writing daily check-in and check-out journals so I can be more mindful of what I’m doing every day.

@Mon, Jun 22

Hosted the WWDC watch party! This was fun.

@Sun, Jun 21

Assembled a new chair

@Sun, Jun 21

Another page built! So much easier to review & collect data. (why not just do it on Airtable? Lacks customizable features not shown on UI rn... 😉

@Sun, Jun 21

Made this autoemailing system for the research project

@Sat, Jun 20

Removed a broken TV from my yard and found a birds nest with an egg behind it 🙈 ~(my mom’s nails not mine)~

@Fri, Jun 19

Built a little tooling for a research project that I'm currently working on. Damn I miss writing code.
