Weekly Coding • 2025-07-13

Hello everyone. It’s time to write my weekly report on my activities.

LeetCode 💻 4 hours and 36 minutes this week

• Completed 11 problems: 109 … 120
• I managed to solve all the problems independently without looking at hints.

Projects & Side Projects

Currently, I am not working on any projects in my free time. The desire is there, but I lack the time and energy. I decided to look back at past projects; here is what I have:

• Personal website 🌐 https://hinst.github.io/ Go, React
  • I keep it up and running and “approve” new posts via an admin interface.
  • I’m not adding new features for now, although I have ideas.
  • For new features, I want to add comments and various AI tools (e.g., automatic title generation for posts).
• File Backups 📂 https://github.com/hinst/hi-backup Node.js
  • I use this program myself every week to update files on my backup flash drive.
  • I’m not adding new features for now, although I have ideas.
  • Possible new features include adding a checksum for files to detect potential data errors.
• Image Compression 🖼️ https://github.com/hinst/PngCrushBatch Deno.js
  • I used this little app successfully in the past, but I’ve stopped now because I’ve already moved most of my files from the cloud to local storage with backups on a flash drive. Compressing images isn’t that important now since I have 1 TB on the flash drive, so free space won’t run out until the distant future.

I have other ideas as well, but when I will find the time for programming is, of course, an open question. It would be interesting to make some large-scale game, but all my previous experiences in this direction ended strangely. I don’t really feel like making the same mistakes again 🤔💭🚿
