🧉 Martin So, what's everyone up to today? In my remaining few months of "funemployment", I'm working on a language-learning app idea and hoping to get something out there before I run out of time.

🧉 Martin Great, hope you're enjoying it. For me, it has (already) been a great career choice. There are definitely worse jobs in the world :)

🗨️ Fui The same: getting ever increasingly sophisticated at doing everything else except that one thing I'm supposed to do. tl;dr: I procrastinate.

⚫ Aaron working on a very long product demo animation. tight deadline. not looking forward to a late night. I even woke up early (4:00am) to get a headstart on it and I'm not sure it'll allow me to get to bed at a sensible hour this evening

🧉 Martin I did something similar recently - a complex SVG animation - before realising I hated it and threw it away. Good luck, sounds like you have your work cut out.

🧉 Martin High-five to a fellow funemployment member. The site (assuming it's the current one) looks nicely minimal, nice work.

😏 Yt L. Nice! I'm thinking of taking some funemployment myself. I want to take a break from work and feel like I need it before having kids, because it would be irresponsible after.

😾 Oskar funemployment, nice one. I am also funemployed, working on vertical search engine and web directory for technical texts. The 'fun' part seems to run it's course and now I am kind of struggling to finish project and not get distracted (thanks subreply!)

🧉 Martin That sounds interesting. The latter parts of most large projects are hard. You've normalised to the excitement of the idea. You've solved the immediately obvious/easier problems. Even from the artistic POV, the canvas is getting full and you've removed a lot of the "possibility" that's so wide open and exciting in the beginning. Still, the reward of getting something out into the wild and seeing people get value from it is so worth it in the end. Good luck!

🧉 Martin Nim looks interesting. It's as if I've seen it become much more popular in the last few years, but until I just checked, I had no idea it's actually 12 years old.
