What are you working on?

What are you working on these days?

Whether you’re building a side project, doing open-source work, solving a problem at your job or learning Ruby, we’d love to hear about it.

Feel free to share by replying to this topic with a short description and a link if you have one.

Well.

Not me, we (I and my wife) tries to grow our newborn :smiley:

Joke aside. I am focusing to solve a duplicate data problem at work. I cannot give more details because of privacy issues. I can just say some how some data in a table is creating multiple times. I want to add uniq index them but I need to find the code that causes duplication. Otherwise index migration won’t work.

I have a open source project bloud.me but I cannot focus it nowadays. I just merge dependabot PR:s :slight_smile:

I have a flash card app I’ve been working on. The focus is on speed, learning lots of vocabulary very quickly. I’ve eliminated the friction you find in other apps: no rating difficulty, no extra clicks, just move on to the next card. If you’re a language learner or want to memorize anything, I’d love your feedback. Let me know what you’d like to see. You can reach me here or through the contact links on the website. https://flash.boon.gl/

This week I’m working on finalizing a cancelations workflow for a payment method inside an e-commerce platform. We’ll start doing some E2E testing to ensure everything is working as expected.

I’ve been also exploring and learning more about self-hosting/PAAS options for some small personal apps.

AMAZING!!! I will definitely try it. thanks!

please share your findings :folded_hands: I am paying 32$ every month to render for my side project (bloudme) I want to pay less if it’s possible :slight_smile:

I found this fancy PaaS pricing calculator that helps compare different options. And also investigating more some of the recommendations mentioned here: An Update on Heroku

I’m building a Ruby gui toolkit from scratch. The idea is for it to be easy to use and Ruby-oriented — suitable for learning programming and creating small applications. The version I could share is almost ready, but I haven’t had much time to finish it lately. Anyway, I’ll definitely post about it when I do :slightly_smiling_face:

I’d love to hear more about this!

I’ve been recently working on adding more examples to my MRuby examples repo. I wanted to add some examples with SDL2 since graphical stuff is cool.

The first example for SDL2 is just a simple wrapper to create a window, and I plan a few more involved examples.


(I will probably push this example along with some other changes in a few days.)

This is absolutely amazing! I’d have loved to have these examples when I started learning mruby as there’s so little out there on it

Let me know if you want any help, I’d be happy to chip in!

Thanks! If you have the time you can contribute an example, of any sort. I’m always happy to see people using MRuby :slight_smile:

I’m in a journey to improve my knowledge about Ruby, learn the more advanced stuffs and how the language works by inside ;p And also improve my English and Japanese

But along that I’m planning to do my two side projects:

  1. planning-poker webapp, where a person can invite colleagues and share a room to vote for a specific task estimation. The ideia here is to make it fully free and exportable to a csv or other file extension(need to decide that too) that a product owner/tech lead could use later to save the voting results for a given user story.

  2. The second one is a gem CLI/TUI app that show the jobs in the solid_queue tables, pretty much similar to what mission-control does today for rails, but with some improvements in searching, and etc. The ideia here is not use a web interface, because most apis doesn’t have one. I don’t know yet how I will accomplish it, but probably it will be made with Bubbletea Ruby gems :saluting_face:

These days I’m working at FastRuby.io, where we spend a lot of time helping teams deal with technical debt and modernizing legacy applications.

Right now I’m working on a project where most users have already been migrated to a newer experience, but a small group still depends on the legacy system. Because of that, the old code can’t be fully removed yet.

Our current focus is figuring out a safe path to migrate the remaining users so we can finally retire the legacy code and simplify the system.
