What are you working on? Any new ideas which you're thinking about?

Building some software for the Trim UI Brick. It's such a neat little thing; being able to turn it into an offline-first device that can handle my data needs would sincerely fill me with joy.

Right now I'm making an Anki-style flashcard system in Rust (https://github.com/jmahmood/Cardbrick/). It's amazing that all of the annoying stoppers I've had with build systems were blown away by Gemini. It's also nice to actually build something that is not another web application.

(I say this knowing there is zero value in me posting this in a thread with 1134 comments already)

Very interesting, your readme.md would benefit from a pic of it running on the system and showing something in Japanese!

I always thought of a similar system for a jailbroken Kindle, I really like the idea of spaced repetition on the go in a device that is not a phone full of distractions.

I could see it working nicely with physical buttons on your device too, maybe you could do some gamifying scores to match its vibe.
