Arthur VS exomind

Here are three hobby projects I've worked on during the last 2 years. I've written extensive guides for all of them:

https://github.com/maxvfischer/DIY-CNC-machine A CNC-machine I built from scratch, using 40x 3d-printed parts.

https://github.com/maxvfischer/Arthur An AI art installation I built from scratch using a GAN network, Samsung The Frame, a button and a PIR-sensor.

https://github.com/maxvfischer/DIY-arcade A full-size Arcade Machine I built from scratch.

Here you have the complete electronic setup: https://github.com/maxvfischer/Arthur#electronic-components

When I set out to learn new skills, I usually try to wrap them in a project. I also try to document and open-source the whole process, both for my own learning, but to enable other to leverage my failures and learnings.

Here are the projects I've done so far:

https://github.com/maxvfischer/Arthur An AI art installation I built from scratch using a GAN network, Samsung The Frame, a button and a PIR-sensor (including, code, images and tutorial). The main draft is almost done, but quite some polishing to do.

https://github.com/maxvfischer/shibusa An automatic Zen Garden drawing infinite patterns in sand. Using stepper motors, inverse kinematics and a Raspberry Pi Zero W (including, code, images and tutorial). I'm almost done building the robot, but still have quite some implementation to do. Also, the guide is far from done, I've mostly uploaded images so far.

https://github.com/maxvfischer/DIY-arcade A full-size Arcade Machine I built from scratch (including, code, images and tutorial). I don't know where you draw the life of "half baked". It's done, but there's a lot of improvements that can be done.

Is your PDF reader open sourced? It's a feature I'd like to implement at some point in my own personal project (https://github.com/appaquet/exomind)

I just added a few screenshots in the README: https://github.com/appaquet/exomind

As for the Gmail integration, it is quite crude at the moment. I use it mostly to organize incoming emails, but I still use Gmail to send or reply to my emails. Exomind inbox is synchronized with Gmail, so all emails that you remove from one or the other get removed / archived on the other side. It also supports multiple accounts.

If you are interested to try and not afraid of the rough edges, just let me know. I added Discussions to the GitHub repository.

Exomind[1], a personal knowledge management tool that takes the form of a unified inbox in which you can have your emails, tasks, notes and bookmarks organized into collections. I have an iOS and a web/electron client at the moment. I plan to eventually add files (blobs), definitions and support extensibility via WASM applications.

Its backend (Exocore[2]) is built on top of a personal / private blockchain and is made from the ground up to be hosted in a semi-decentralized fashion on your own personal devices (your computer, raspberry pi, a cloud instance, etc.)

It has very rough edges, but I'm using it daily to organize my life. It has also been my learning playground to improve my Rust skills over the last two years. If all goes well, I'm a few months away from some kind of tech preview.
