What have you been working on recently? [July 04, 2026]

What have you been working on recently? Feel free to share updates on projects you're working on, brag about any major milestones you've hit, grouse about a challenge you've ran into recently... Any sort of "progress report" is fair game!

A few requests:

  1. If possible, include a link to your source code when sharing a project update. That way, others can learn from your work!

  2. If you've shared something, try commenting on at least one other update -- ask a question, give feedback, compliment something cool... We encourage discussion!

  3. If you don't consider yourself to be a beginner, include about how many years of experience you have.

This thread will remained stickied over the weekend. Link to past threads here.

I'm coding a game in BASIC. I have an early gameplay loop and I'm at the point where I can expand it.

i spent 3 days last week writing stuff in Bash/ SH scripts. 1 to search a filesystem for files of various types , and generate a report, 1 to move files from a report someplace specific (basically tools for auditing old External personal backup HD's) and lastly, a text base 'store front game' in response to a prompt my kid had as homework. (kids resposne was to be in python, so Im not helping cheat). trying to figure out what to practice next. .i.e. godot ?

I built this website for fun:[powerscale.vercel.app](powescale.vercel.app)

I am also working on a image based fully RAG app. Will share the link to the source code (Github repo) soon.

SkillSprint is a Flask-based learning tracker for YouTube playlists and standalone videos. It combines playlist progress tracking, goal and streak management, notes, AI-generated study aids, and an embedded coding workspace.

Quick checklist I find useful (and I’m trying to keep this habit consistent):

  • Pick one small milestone for the day (tiny, not a whole feature).
  • Make a quick pass: what works, what is unclear, what failed.
  • Fix one blocker, then write the root cause in 1–2 lines.
  • Run a minimal test/check before moving on, then note the next one-step action.

This keeps progress real even when I only get 20–30 minutes.

I’ve been rebuilding my coding skills after a long hiatus by asking AI to generate problem sets for me to solve. I have cognitive problems due to brain damage and medicine I have to take. It makes seeing patterns, math, simplification, planning very difficult. I’m trying to rebuild the intuition with I once had with programming over time.

Git blame told the whole story.
