Live weather radar wallpaper for Android
My very small team has built an Android live wallpaper that displays the current NEXRAD weather radar data as your Android phone’s live wallpaper. The app automatically selects the nearest radar site using coarse location permissions, or you can manually choose a location. Everything is size optimized and only updates when the wallpaper is being viewed to minimize battery footprint. Interesting technical bits: - Using the US National Weather Service public radar feed (via public S3 bucket) - Custom radar volume data decoder written in Go and running as AWS Lambdas (triggered by S3 bucket…

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Autism Simulator▲779Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning.
