The technical one is rediSQL[1] I am embedding SQLite into a redis module. Until few days ago I had performance issues that I wasn't able to figure out and I tracked everything in an issues. I finally figured out the problem, solve it, gain a lot of performance and I am about to write a blog post about. The next step is to get the exact same performance in the redis module compared with using SQLite embedded in a simple C program it is not going to be easy and I would probably defer this performance gain opportunity in favor of more features in the module.
The second project, the sale oriented one, is WalOfStickers.com[2] where I try to sell hexagonal stickers for laptop. I like to show the technology that I work with and make my laptop mine, but I don't like that the more sticker you put the messier everything became, so I made these hexagonal sticker that you can tile in your laptop and make neat, complex patterns.
I thought about send some free sticker to the conference to make myself some marketing.
However I could also make the sticker with the logo of the conference and maybe send along also some related stickers...
That was your idea? It is actually quite interesting...
Most trademarks are registered in order to avoid that an unrelated tech product "steal"/"take advantage" of another well know product name.
Other companies sell similar stickers so I didn't actually bothered too much asking, I will definitely make this straight if I will made something worthed out of this side business.
So I'll not do anything more about that game because I dont believe it could earn me anything but I do have so many other things I want to do.
I would be happy to add it to the torrent once you're done. :) The more cleaned datasets the better.
I am working on a webVR project similar to super mario maker but in 3D
I shared on r/weddingplanning and it shot to the top which was exciting. Made $20 in Adsense and had 2k visits in one day.
I've also had some tweets from people with 100k+ following, so for around a week now I am averaging like 300 uniques a day.
So, now I ask, how can I make some real side cash? All ears.

At home, I hack on a roguelike using Clojure. [1]
client.get(key)
client.put(key, value)
I am using that to build an ORM and a blog with GraphQL and React.

Currently as part of that larger project, I've been improving my zoomable UI for browsing program traces: https://github.com/akkartik/mu/blob/9be4a67f42/100trace_brow.... I plan to turn this into a self-contained tool. All it requires is for logging frameworks to start each log line with a number indicating depth. When you open it on such a log file it shows just the highest-level information, allowing you to drill down into details in specific parts of the log.
I think such a UI can be a strong alternative to a debugger. Instead of running the program at interaction time you first collect a trace of the program's execution. You get time-travel debugging for a fraction of the infrastructural cost if you require manual program changes to add logging.
