Also I started making a bluesky based app related to animals. It’s fun but not sure if i can find enough time to get it to a state that’s worth publishing. The turtle kinda resembles the slow progress made there.

Built a cipher game bao-cipher.web.val.run Just try to decode a letter substitution cipher as quick as you can. You can share the game link and compete against a friend.

Initially it’s for my kid to practice in a competition, but it’s kinda fun and now I just keep playing it.

Got the opportunity to talk w Notion's founding mobile engineering team about the nitty-gritty details on how they do mobile development.

Learned so many interesting things.

Happened to record it, and so it's coming to the podcast as well for everyone else interested as well!

Now there is a way to publish a @notion.com database to a calendar feed: just fork www.val.town/v/bao/notion... on @val.town and configure the token/database id.
I use #notion to run a community website which has an event calendar, and allowing people to subscribe the calendar feed is super nice

Created my first val.town project which creates a RSS feed based on a public Notion database. If you use Notion to host your blog this might be useful.

I created this iOS shortcut to scan documents, convert them to text, and save into Notion. Also using this to scan the interpretive panels in parks, interesting labels on food packaging, etc.
