Roy Tang ☛ An Android App That Does Nothing
It's been a while since I published to the Play Store and I didn't really have any intention of using the account soon, but I didn't want to lose it either. Unlike the Apple Developer account which costs $100 a year, the Play store account is free to maintain but I had to pay a one-time fee of $30 to start it, so I didn't want to have to do that again.
So I decided to just publish an app. Specifically: an app that does nothing.
This also gave me a chance to try out creating a super basic Android app using Godot Engine, something I've never tried before. I prefered to use Godot rather than reinstall and use the clunky Android Studio IDE.

Raspberry Pi ☛ This smart disco ball changes colour like a chameleon
Tim van de Vathorst, like myself, is a big fan of disco balls. The glitter, the twirling, the visual invitation to hit a sweaty dance floor.
