Built Image Converter during a 2020 hackathon — a small Android app for converting image formats. It earned $22.50 in ads 😅 and is now open-sourced on GitHub as my 9th open-source Android app! 🎉

In 2020 I built an app for a US Army hackathon—cancelled after SolarWinds. Threw it on Google Play, earned $4.28 😂 After 5 yrs I updated it. Celestial Illumination helps SAR, pilots, sailors, astronomers, farmers & adventurers.

Almost 2.5 years after open-sourcing it, I have decided to update Weather Forecast USA using Material Design 3. By the way, the app has made me $10.83 during that period, so my effort is more than justified! GitHub:

Remember Escapa? One of the first viral JavaScript games from about 25y ago. I ported it to Android in 2010. After 15 years & $22.43 in ad revenue, it’s now open-source.

In the past week, my website saw 20 human visitors and a staggering 115,420 bot requests. GoogleBot isn't respecting the crawl-delay directive. Thankfully, @cloudflare.social offers an option to block overly zealous bots, allowing my website to breathe again.

Targeting #Android #SDK35? Your app UI may break due to enforced edge-to-edge layouts. Quick fix: override it in res/values-v35/themes.xml with windowOptOutEdgeToEdgeEnforcement. Minimal code, no layout chaos. ✅ Read the full instructions:

Finally, someone asked Mearsheimer the right questions without giving the old man any slack out of respect or for any other reason.

“I think it makes good strategic sense to shut the war down immediately. I also think it’s the morally correct thing to do.” The political scientist John Mearsheimer discusses why he agrees with Trump’s handling of Russia and Ukraine.

On #Microsoft killing #Skype, a shout-out to all startup founders: do not sell your businesses to the biggest tech companies for billions of dollars! You can still be happy earning millions, and your baby won't be killed down the road.

Makers, what's your take on affiliates? In 15 years, I've had only few affiliate sales. Even 'review portals' who contact me ask for a fee, not a sales cut. Is #AffiliateMarketing a myth? Any success stories?

As your launch date nears, establishing an online presence for your product is crucial.

Different platforms serve distinct purposes: some are great for one-way communication, others encourage community building and two-way interactions.

Which social networks are essential for you?

Started a new project! AI enabled browser extension. Though I already launched projects using #OpenAI API, this is my first time creating an extension.

Decided to use #JavaScript #backend, which is also new for me. Previously I have developed backends in #PHP, #Java and #Python.
