I have on my "To Do List" this exact project, but using CURA API to get the amount of filament it will need (in grams and in length), estimated printing time and (if possible) the amount of energy it will take.

My mid-term vision is that I have a display next to my printer, choose a shape, enter some parameters and click print. I think I can do that with Octoprint and a Slicer plugin. Is the Cura API online or do I need a Cura printer for that?

I think you need an Ultimater or Ultimater connected printer in order to use the print functionality with the API. I can’t seem to find a reference for slicing objects remotely, except for a forum post about a docket image (Linked below, although I’m sure you already saw it).

Integrating with a slicer and Octoprint would be cool though!

$ goto considered helpful

$ goto is a CLI tool to quickly browse URLs specific to the current repository from the terminal and open them in your browser.

Since the URLs are stored in your repository (URLS.toml), the bookmarks are contextually relevant for your current project (link to issues, pull request, documentation website, wiki, libraries, ...). And they are shared with your colleagues.

Haven't released anything yet but I have a working prototype.

I thought about something similar, where you could store some """doc""" on a toml file, like useful commands, relevant websites. You could then push the toml file on a repo somewhere, and the app would be able to fetch different repos, creating a shared doc system that you can query & browse offline. No more heavy websites that don't even answer your question with this system.

I don't really know if I should try to work on it, because if there's no other user than me then I will just spend time on something that's not really useful for anyone (even for me, since I already have a notetaking program somewhere I can query).

I'm not sure I quite understand, but when I'm wondering if it's worth building something, I do "README oriented programming". Meaning I try to write a compelling README, just the README, no code, and I show it to people to gauge interest.

Submitting DMCA takedown requests through Google's DMCA dashboard for all of my DEV posts that have been blatantly infringed by a site that appears to scrape DEV on a large scale, replacing random words in posts, presumably by a drunk bot by the sound of the result.

I created a CLI tool to quickly create React/Vite/NextJs projects with Tailwind ready-configured. It's written in Rust and is config-file based so you can easily personalise it with dependancies which you regularly use!

You can install it on Mac with a single command:
brew tap ozcap/quick-init && brew install quick-init.

This is my first time building something with Rust. Feedback appreciated!!

Since my other comment wasn't really the type of project you're looking for here. Here's what I'm currently working on in terms of development....

Adding implementation of (1+1)-Evolutionary Algorithms to a Java library that I have been using to gradually release as open source (after improving and cleaning up) all of my otherwise closed source research code.

Library is called Chips-n-Salsa. Project website is:

Chips-n-Salsa - A Java library of customizable, hybridizable, iterative, parallel, stochastic, and self-adaptive local search algorithms

The Chips-n-Salsa library includes implementations of several stochastic local search algorithms, including simulated annealing, hill climbers, as well as constructive search algorithms such as stochastic sampling; and now also includes genetic algorithms as well as evolutionary algorithms more generally. It includes several classes for representing solutions to a variety of optimization problems. For example, the library includes a BitVector class that implements vectors of bits, as well as classes for representing solutions to problems where we are searching for an optimal vector of integers or reals. For each of the built-in representations, the library provides the most common mutation operators and crossover operators for use with evolutionary algorithms. The library provides extensive support for permutation optimization problems, including implementations of many different mutation operators for permutations, and utilizing the efficiently implemented Permutation class of the JavaPermutationTools (JPT) library. Chips-n-Salsa is customizable, making extensive use of generic types, enabling using the library to optimize other types of representations beyond what is provided in the library. It is hybridizable, providing support for integrating multiple forms of local search (e.g., using a hill climber on a solution generated by simulated annealing), creating hybrid mutation operators (e.g., local search using multiple mutation operators), and classes that support running more than one type of search for the same problem concurrently using multiple threads as a form of algorithm portfolio. Chips-n-Salsa is iterative, with support for multistart metaheuristics, including implementations of several restart schedules for varying the run lengths across the restarts. It also supports parallel execution of multiple instances of the same, or different, stochastic local search algorithms for an instance of a problem to accelerate the search process. The library supports self-adaptive search in a variety of ways, such as including implementations of adaptive annealing schedules for simulated annealing, such as the Modified Lam schedule, implementations of the simpler annealing schedules but which self-tune the initial temperature and other parameters, and restart schedules that adapt to run length.

Worked on my own implementation of the wave function collapse algorithm for procedurally generating game maps.

It's a pretty neat algorithm that can produce maps based on some constraints. Usually those are neighbor cosntraints like "tile A is allowed left of tile B", but it can also work with arbitrary constraints like "each door tile must be reachable from the start tile via path tiles" to ensure that a path is generated to each door.
