You all are overthinking your side projects. >This guy made digital balls physically bounce off real objects/sticky notes using just a webcam, a projector, and JavaScript. Go build something fun. (via ig/bongyunng)

Just build things man, that is the same approach I have been taking Not thinking too much about things and just build

Yess! without worryign about the results

Yup that’s the goal man

I also write about making money online with developing apps/games/content:

also checkout this other viral idea:

Wow I really need to level up my imagination fr

me tooo

i created the same game. Here's the repo if you're interested:

A webcam, a projector, and one good idea still clears most overplanned roadmaps.

ahahah !

Can anyone tell me how this works? How is the project able to detect the sticky note and act as if a real ball would fall. If you can provide it's GitHub link or a project that's similar to this.

The JavaScript/hardware combo is brilliant. Most people overthink the tech stack when the real constraint is just shipping something that works. This probably took less time than most people spend planning their "perfect" side project.

This is just what @worrydream’s DynamicLand has been doing at a sort of operating system level for almost a decade now:

@worrydream what is that

@worrydream You don’t know about Bret Victor’s work?

For anyone else wondering

give sounds like this

The best side projects are the ones that scratch a weird personal itch, not the ones optimized for monetization from day one. Webcam + projector + JavaScript to make physics simulations interact with physical objects? That's the kind of thing that ends up going viral AND teaches you more than any course.

@nicholaschen__ this is insanely cool

@measure_plan

So simple and yet looks fun!

Notice how the body relaxes when someone says build something fun instead of build something useful. That relaxation is the intelligence your mind keeps overruling.

No waste of time. Build something your passionate about that perhaps make money from.

I have created an app where you draw on clouds and other stuff and see what other saw ❤️

sometimes the human brain is so fascinating and confusing at the same time, coz how do you even come up with this

I also have a YouTube channel where I will share fun coding stuff!

inspired me to build this simple game , very fun especially when ure drunk

the best ideas are just "I wonder what happens if". AI drops the cost of starting to almost nothing. the only bottleneck left is actually starting.

@measure_plan I feel like this is in your wheelhouse dude hehe

Epic

Geo blocking you because you're from india. Go away.

This are real fun projects 😂

Can someone answer why some are missing? Physics built in upon drop?

this is why i started learning how to code

lemmings

I have a kitchen drawer that won't close and a rusty fence. I assure you I'm not overthinking my side projects.

daaamn
