Wom Posts – Hack Club Scrapbook

today i: 1. still at the same number but sent out more emails (til one of the ppl i invited and accepted to come is lupita nyongo's sister HELLO), thinking ab media outreach too 2. started working on workshops, decided workshops will be in swahili / sheng (swahili slang) so they can be more welcoming. this is kind of the gameplan rn. im gonna need to work on the demos for these so i can see if that could work. 3. had some meetings, 1 w/ the venue (will be going there thursday). went great also found out they gave us a really huge discount because they love athena <3 (ty ngdc)

the backend of a project i'm working on does not scale well so i just rewrote the whole thing with NestJS 💀 I wouldn't even wish whatever that weekend was on my worst enemy bc wtf anyway here's the repo ‼️ github.com/openbloodfdn/core (it gets its own team name now bc it's scaling fast 😋)

I said I wanted to get started again and instantly missed a day... oh well. more catch-up: a week ago, some friends and I won $100 and a ton of swag from a college-level hackathon (HoyaHacks at Georgetown University)! we made a desktop app for malware analysis after the fact, called Lumber. it aggregates a ton of logs from all over the system (cutting down on logs... lumber... get it...) and displays them all in a pretty little ui-- I did 100% of the design. more info @ devpost.com/software/Lumber-yahrzp

heyy guys I've made a bot to make 'time.cs50.io' links directly from slack; you can use it by either using create a event link shortcut or by running /createeventtimelink cmd, and drop what you think should be implemented differently or added. Also, I've some TODOs like: • Drop the link in thread if the shortcut used there.. • Nd, if you use the global shortcut, you'll get the link shown in the next modal popup instead of sending them in DMs. • and also logging them somewhere to show them in the home tab and it is named timesaber; @ttt

I've been meaning to get back into posting here, so maybe I'll do a little bit of catch-up to get started... for now, here's something recent: I made a ton of logos for the hack club logo rotation! here's a few:

today: • more athena nairobi stuff. interesting trend is alot of ppl would like to come with their daughters which is p cool! we are now at 10 guests confirmed ! • got to update endfemicideke w some recent info, i wanted to add more stats but there isnt quite an api for that so i might try calling an org linked in the site to ask if thats alr there but privately or we could see other ways to go ab it maybe i could help them make one (i should probably finish making my own first tho)

• started exploring options for decor for our venue on pinterest • worked on a doc for the athena nbo event website team for the event, not done yet tho since im yet to confirm the schedule (i also made some changes to this, would love to know what yall think, time planning is... interesting because theres so much to do but such little time) + workshops (will do tmrw after our meeting) :D • some show and tell planning + thinking

I made a productivity based IOS app; It's intended to create a sense of urgency and competition while gamifying the studying process. It allows for users to compete globally on study times, track their own, and eventually use the points in an in-game shop system; I made it in React-Native and included a bunch of features so check it out if you're interested, link below; I'm planning to ship a bunch more updates github.com/Mr-W-Squidward/studyquest

One of my favorite projects from last year: London Smog, a web/VR experience about the history of air quality in London, coupled with a wearable neck pillow that inflates around your neck to simulate the air quality changes.
