    ✨🆕 New project! ✨ For educational purposes only… I HACKED A CAR IN JAVASCRIPT!!! 📡🛻 I built a web tool to hack wireless devices right from the browser and I used it to run a rolljam/replay attack against my friend's car (with consent of course) and IT WORKED!!! 😃🎉

    For my 1st internal Atlassian hackathon, I spent the last 24h trying to implement my brain sensor framework w/ react-beautiful-dnd: 😉 Select tasks w/ facial expressions 🧠 Move them w/ thoughts Bonus: If you really want it, they'll disappear... 🧙‍♀️😂 #reactjs #javascript #IoT

    I miss going for a run so I made a thing to make running inside less weird... Called it Qua*run*tine... Get it? 🥁 Using pose detection, you gotta run if you wanna keep exploring a real or 3D trail! 🏃‍♀️🌲 quaruntine.netlify.com ⚠️Very experimental & buggy⚠️🤷‍♀️

    Forgot to share I FINALLY got the mental commands from the @emotiv to work in JavaScript! 🎉😃 Here's a quick example of me pushing a #threejs cube just by thinking about it! github.com/charliegerard/… #javascript #Nodejs #iot #EEG

    I've been experimenting with ultrasonic data transmission in JavaScript, as a potential payment method 💳. Here's an example of sending a payment link from an offline device via inaudible sounds. If you're interested, I wrote about it ✍️ dev.to/stripe/ultraso…

    IT'S HERE! This french queer woman in tech wrote a 300+ pages book about ML for FE devs, in her 2nd language!🎉 My no.1 goal was to make it feel accessible. ML is a complex topic so I really tried to explain everything simply & clearly, and also make it interesting & engaging!

    After seeing people share their multi-windows experiments lately, I'm glad to see my Flappy Bird game with browser windows still works! 🎉 flappy-windows.netlify.app

    Built a thing to play Chrome's Dino game with mind control! 🤩🧠 Using the @neurosity Notion brain sensor and a few lines of Node.js, I trained the device to recognise a particular thought and trigger a jump 🦖 #javascript

    Built a small demo for my hands-free coding experiment. Managed to write a little React component w/ my eyes in < 30s! (wanted to write 'hi' not 'hy' but that's not the point😂) Thinking about how to build interfaces with limited input (look left/right) is super interesting 🤓

    I built a Github action that uses TensorFlow.js to check the toxicity level of comments and PR reviews, to help create safer spaces 🙂 When content is classified as toxic, the bot notifies the author to give them a chance to edit! github.com/charliegerard/… #MadeWithTFJS

    I wanted to play Beat Saber but I don’t have VR gears so… I hacked smthng using Tensorflow.js & PoseNet to play w/ hands movements instead!🎉 It's experimental so maybe don't try expert mode😂 beat-pose.netlify.com #javascript #tensorflow #aframe #creativecoding #threejs
