Yearly Goal - 2025

This Year’s Programming Goals

Overall Goals

  • Switch to Linux as my main desktop OS (I’m always on WSL, why not just fully switch at this point)
  • Continue creating cool Design & learning stuff.
  • Learn more about networking
  • Improve online marketing skills to promote software projects effectively / AKA not being afraid of talking online
  • Earn my first $5 from a side project (from someone I don’t know)

I’ll probably diverge from the list above, but that’s my current goal

Side Projects in the Pipeline

Merlion.dev

Planning this for first half of 2025

  1. Finishing my Markdown App => TUI version of Obsedian
  • Complete the frontend
  • Develop TUI tools in Go
  • Improve the TUI as I use it
  • Landing page
  • Design a cool logo

Why am I building this one ? I just want something dumb simple, that work acros multiple computer. And everything is a) to much stuff which I don’t want, b) I hate their UX, c) it’s local only, and d) I want to use $EDITOR to edit text (nvim). + I’m having fun building something that I want :)

+ This markdown project serves as a foundation to build a starter template, making it easy to bootstrap new products without heavy third-party dependencies.

Core Features | Starter Template for Rust <> Typescript Stack

  • Authentication (Core Completed 2024)
  • Stripe payment integration
  • Blob storage
  • Database storage (Completed 2024)
  • VPS deployment (Completed 2024 with Latent.host)
    • Maybe some improvements will be made to have a multi-node VPS
    • EDIT: Working on this
  • React WebApp template (Completed 2024)
  • Optimized landing page
  1. Utilize my own starter template above: Build something over a weekend from idea to ready to sell
  • Something as been built in a Weekend with it

A Game

Planning this for second half of 2025

  • Multiplayer game (board game concept might be interesting)
  • With my own server / Network architecture
  • With my own Art Work (If I have time)

I started learning 3D & how game engine work in 2024 and I want to act on it, but I’m still in the process of determining the what and how for this game at the time of writing ?

  • Discord game seems to be a really good opportunity in the market, so I might go that way
