Things like this are why I purchased some ISBNs and self-publish/distribute. The books (e.g.:Data Analysis with Rust Notebooks[1] and Practical Evolutionary Algorithms[2]) are doing well, and whilst I'm likely "leaving money

Pen plotters are great fun. I set mine up a while ago - a slightly cheaper setup than most https://shahinrostami.com/articles/my-pen-plotter-setup/

I run a plotting/visualization library. Instead of a time-limited trial, we have just one of the plot types (Sankey) freely available indefinitely ( https://plotapi.com/page/sankey/ ). We tried a time-limited t

My daughter wanted an app like this that would help her with sheet music, so that was enough motivation! I was tinkering with Unity at the time, so I thought I’d use it to make future releases on other platforms a little easier. I’ve tested

I used to write long and technical blog posts. I think it's unlikely someone will go out there way to give you negative feedback, i.e. not constructive. My motivation came from my younger days where everyone (including myself) had thei

Nice project! I was gifted a pen plotter [1] a while ago and have enjoyed it so far. I would love to build one that supports larger pieces. [1] https://shahinrostami.com/articles/my-pen-plotter-setup/
