Hello.

This blog post lists various web apps I've generated using Repl.it and WebSim, along with their code. Repl.it apps include tools like an image analyzer, time zone tracker, and a blood pressure tracker. WebSim creations include a 3D globe and gravity simulators. I discuss my preference for Postgres over sqlite, especially with Repl.it's tendency to overwrite sqlite databases upon deployment.

I explored using ChatGPT's Code Interpreter to analyze browser compatibility data from the BCD project. My goal was to determine the latest released versions of different browsers. While the initial results weren't perfect, through a few iterations of feedback, the Code Interpreter generated a Python script that accurately extracted the desired information. I was impressed by the speed and efficiency of this process, as it accomplished in minutes what would have taken me much longer manually. The generated code also provided a starting point for further analysis, like visualizing browser release timelines. Despite minor imperfections, the Code Interpreter proved to be a powerful tool for quickly extracting and analyzing data.

I gave my son a micro:bit for his birthday, hoping to introduce him to programming. While he preferred FIFA, I ended up having a blast exploring the device myself. I found it incredibly easy to use and a perfect starting point for hardware and software programming. I even coded a (buggy) Breakout clone to test its capabilities! While the web editor is excellent, I believe integrating WebUSB for direct deployment and improving debugging capabilities would greatly enhance the experience.

We've done a lot of work using Github in the recent past and here is some of the work that we have optimised.
