January 2025 Update

Posted On 2025-01-25

Happy 2025 everyone.

While I've been quiet here, I've been busy offline.

First off, over the holidays I started work on a new project. I released it a few days ago, the website is called Teriyaki.

The goal of the app is to help people practice the fundamentals of reading & writing in Japanese.

This project came to existence as I was not finding a decent tool for this task.

Currently it's a rather simple setup, but I do plan to add more functionality to it when I get the time. Please check it out.

Second update is, I've decided to expand my skill set and began looking into using kotlin for more than just Android development.

When I begin to think about making a server-side piece to Teriyaki, I'm going to use kotlin instead of my normal go to, PHP.

I want to expand my kotlin knowledge as I rather like the language and I'd like to open myself up to more uses of the language, and I'm curious to see how it feels writing a kotlin web app.

Currently I made a dummy fun project to just play around with it and so far it's not too bad, a bit more involved than writing up a PHP web app, but I do enjoy having generics at my disposal as well as async capabilities.

I will keep you posted on my journey with Kotlin web development.

If I don't post again for a while, hope everyone has a great 2025.
