Do you have any software projects that are purely artistic, with no monetary ambitions?

I struggle to spend time writing code on things I know I can’t try and sell.

Vibe is excellent

That's what https://owl.so is basically. I'm basically making it for myself and my wife, and make it as good as I can and practice my design and UX skills on it.

At some point I'll probably turn on subs but it's not the goal.

Love this

Yep. Currently working on some discord bot stuff for a game community I mod. It's a nice change of pace from the day job. Won't ever be paid for it. Wasn't even asked to do it. Just jumped in and started writing.

..unless you meant more web-centric artistic projects. I interpreted your usage of "artistic" fairly liberally. My bad. 😂

No, any software! I meant what you thought.

By day, I don't do much coding, more scripting. I've got some local php and js apps, but haven't really dived into other languages lately so it's been a good excuse to get into python more, learn Django, etc. I'm not getting paid in cash, but not everything of value is measured in cash, so win to me

For sure. Python is a great language.
