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.

I just made an iOS shortcut recently which takes a word, lets ChatGPT generates its meaning, pronunciation, etc and saves to Notion. Then I just look at that page from time to time and remove words I memorized. It’s new and idk how effective it is yet. iOS shortcuts are very versatile/easy to access

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.

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.
