Glad to see this thread come back! I'll share something of my own, though it's not a tech project.
I've been working on translating Japji Sahib - which is the foundational prayer of the Sikhs - into English poetry. The original is a poem, but most of the existing translations are in prose and use Western religious terminology that's not really appropriate to the original.
I just wrapped up a first draft of the translation itself. Also working on putting together an essay on why I felt another translation was necessary and why preserving the form of the poem is important to understanding its contents. Planning on getting it published one way or another.
Been sharing snippets from my translation here, if you're interested in following along: https://twitter.com/verseofpunjab

Just wanted to say - I saw you post about this a while ago, and I started using it recently. I absolutely love it! Thanks for making it!

Working on getting more familiar with Gatsby - thinking of moving my and my brother's substack onto our own static site so we have more control over it. Mainly don't like all the trackers that substack adds to the newsletter.
Another reason I'm considering a custom site is that I'm interested in adding 3D visualizations and tools to our articles (which are mostly technical breakdowns of our engineering projects).

This is really cool - wish I had this when I was learning chinese. Maybe I'll use it to pick it up again!

My project involves turning an old Saab into a racecar, and using it to explore moonshot ideas like creating a composite from natural materials instead of fiberglass or carbon fiber. The racecar part keeps it fun, even if the ideas don't pan out.
