I've got myself organised and prepared a List Of Things To Do[1] to make my 2D <canvas> Javascript library even better than it already is. Given that I've been working on the library for over 10 years now, and have never before set out such a list, I call this Progress!

I am working on firedating.me - a community of people interested into Financial Independence / Early Retirement (FIRE), who look for friends and/or partner.
FIRE people rarely advertise they are into FIRE for many reasons:
- at work this sends a message "I will leave soon" and may have repercussions
- socially this might be perceived as "I am rich" or "I am retiring early" = weird and crazy.
As a result, it is hard to meet other FIRE people. At the same time, this interest defines lots of their life - they are usually frugal & save a lot, so dating non-FIRE people is also a challenge. That's why I made the website and my goal is to reduce loneliness in the FIRE community.
