Tinker Tuesday for October 15, 2024

This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.

If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service.

This place is very useful! Iron sharpens iron. One of my hopes in posting is that someone with more experience might make suggestions that turn out to be helpful (and the other is simply to give back, in the sense of producing rather than merely being a consumer of the rest of the forum’s efforts). But yes, monetization is often a kiss of death for the spark of originality that makes something interesting.
