I love writing useless software! Here's some useless software I wrote this year: - https://lines.potato.horse https://lines.potato.horse → the uncolouring book - https://meat-gpt.sonnet.io https://meat-gpt.sonnet.io → MeatGPT - https://tidings.potato.horse https://tidings.potato.horse → Medieval Content Farm - https://butter.sonnet.io https://butter.sonnet.io → You deserve butter. - https://mrr.sonnet.io https://mrr.sonnet.io → Mrr - https://mrrr.sonnet.io https://mrrr.sonnet.io → Mrr (physically accurate) Some of those just very elaborate blog posts, over-engineered as I found it easier to express myself through playing with code, rather than solving a real problem. Longer list (including some accidentally useful stuff): https://sonnet.io./projects https://sonnet.io./projects

https://meat-gpt.sonnet.io https://meat-gpt.sonnet.io most hilarious thing I have seen on the internet for a long time. Gold!

  Marvellous. I asked it: Which opinions do you tender? and Do you need a beefy GPU? The result really was food for thought.

Woah, what are you using to render the brush strokes in The Uncoloring Book?
- rpastuszak 3y ago
  Rendering is done via SVG (and a bit buggy), the stroke thickness is calculated via perfect-freehand (by Steve Ruiz, the guy behind tldraw)

    > the stroke thickness is calculated via perfect-freehand thank you! yeah I noticed the bugginess, the thing seems to be lagging behind my actual cursor because it tries to smooth things out to within a few % of the brush's radius. kind of distracting, but tolerable.

  oh my god I was working on sth similar but with a never-ending cigarette. This is just perfect. (I struggled with quitting smoking, a lot.)

    I absolutely love this idea, you should do it! Commentary on one kind of addiction using the terms of another.

Argh, I can't edit my comment – inspired by the article, I prepared my own list: https://untested.sonnet.io/Here's+a+List+of+Toys https://untested.sonnet.io/Here's+a+List+of+Toys I actually forgot about a bunch of those

I got inspired by your stuff (and other links on this post) that I ended up getting a Scratch account and made an analog clock https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/910890145 https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/910890145 My 8 year old does scratch every day and I often help him when he has questions. I was pretty fun to just make a silly project (with unnecessary animation) for fun! Thanks for the inspiration! And by the way, a catch phrase in our house is now "Hurry to love! Hurry to love!"
