I think “free” (free as in spiked beer) social media ruined people’s mindset when it comes to software.

You have to download the original ROM and a patch file that the hack creator provide. Creators generally won’t provide you with the patched ROM though. I think it’s called IPS patching. You can patch it online by googling ‘IPS patcher online’. Just download the original Pokemon Fire Red ROM and the rom hack patch file. Then upload to the online patcher site. You will get the patched ROM you can play.

A top tier hack gotta be Unbound.

Indie games. Tremendous respect for indie devs.

I’ve seen video ads claiming to show you a way towards passive income from other people’s videos somehow. Now it’s coming to open source projects…

ERPNext does have ecommerce. All of it’s modules are free. The whole thing’s integrated with it’s back-end accounting and inventory system. There may be some features you might not need because it’s primary purpose is for back office usage.

If you haven’t done any Clojure, may be Elixir?

We’re like oompa loompas to their willy wonka complex.

Turning my web app for Burmese song lyrics with guitar chords into an open source PWA songbook app. I’ll try to turn it into some kind of offline available song book that you can host on github pages.

Don’t give up!

I’m thinking more along the line of ubiquitous offline first PWAs. Imagine google doc running offline in a browser and being able to edit local docs directly. I guess secure file system access is one of the major road blocks, though I’m not sure of the challenges associated with coming up with a standard for this.

I started my career as C# dev and thought highly of Java because it’s what C# is ripping off of. Then I actually tried writing Java and had a new found appreciation for C#. This was over 10 years ago though.

I’m still hoping for browsers to become some kind of open standard application environments and web apps to become actual apps running on this environment.

What do you think of zig?

I’d imagine there would be no need to give up type safety, unit testing and all that though. I’m thinking more about language and tool creators’ focus and efforts going mostly into compiler and type safety.
