I'm continuing to improve CallStop. It's an app that takes 30 seconds to set up and blocks 100% of spam calls on your phone. Kind of like Superhuman for your phone number. Here's an app store link:

Would love any feedback on it.

I am continuing to improve Webase [1] which is a no-code platform I've been working on. The next release coming out in April will have a new view editor that allows users to create custom views in their apps.

The goal with Webase is to have a platform as good as Webflow for creating UIs and as good as Airtable for easily creating data models... in one single tool.

I am not in lockdown. But a lot of public services and schools are closed. Also, no friends get together and parties, and significantly reduced hangout. I am making use of my local university library to study and research Text Mining.

With the prevalence of discussions around Coronavirus online, we will have large corpus for text analysis, for example, hysteria, treatment, symptoms, timeline of public reaction etc.

I've been working on rewriting our internal deployment system and plan to open source it once the rewrite is finished. Part of the rewrite is decoupling it from our internal libraries and from our internal architecture so it is more generic. It's been fun to work on in the spare time, but it's been months now and I can't wait to finish.

Nice. Can you give any high level details? Language? Methodology? Unique/rare features?

My reef aquarium, novice banjo, getting the yard ready for spring, helping more with the kid's school work, and learning more about investing. Oh, and playing through a video game (very rarely done for me). I consider each of these as various levels of productive.

I'm not self-isolating or locking down, per say, but I am working a lot more from my own office. As a result I've been able to apply a lot of works to my cyberpunk hacking simulator game. I'm hoping to have an alpha out there in a month or two.

Personal care DTC; handsyhealth.com - wipes are next :)

Beneath the surface, it was a personal challenge to conceptualize, create, launch a brand, configure Shopify, get sales all in under two weeks. So far so good.

I'm not trying to be rude I'm just offering feedback. Brace yourself. I went to the site and couldn't instantly figure out what handsy is. I tried for about 10-15 seconds. ...something about alcohol. eh, I don't care. and then gave up. Still don't know. I think you should make it more clear what it is.

I built a little greenhouse, and working on a chicken coop. Trying to spend more time outside in the garden. It's a good "social distance" escape

This is the culmination of about a decade of iteration by a single person, so that may be a sort of be-careful-what-you-wish-for question :)

I'd love to talk more about it - let's set up a time to chat: [email protected]

First day of isolation - slept late. Working on goals so I do not waste the time. Reading hacker news. OMG this is going to take work.

I’ve worked from home for the vast majority of the last decade so this does not really change anything for me.
