  • To give some ideas as well, maybe there could be some addons powered from the electric longboard, but I can’t really see how they could be useful. The main problem I see is that you’d need a wire coming from the longboard to the user / addon. this seems dangerous.

    Maybe you can have the longboard battery be detachable, or have a smaller detachable batterry different from the main one that you could use for other tasks? (both being chardged either externally or through regenerative braking)

    But tbh, I think such a project would overcomplicate and miss the point of the longboard.


  • Interesting ideas! I’m don’t do mobile dev either, but regarding your first point, I think the idea is very cool, but taking that direction would be very difficult. Achieving what you suggest the easy way is through a mobile app. The problem is that the if we’re looking at older phones that are not supported anymore, they aren’t secure, so we could run into problems there. The second option you suggested, which is a single purpose ROM seems very cool, but it also seems very daunting, as it is hardware specific from my understanding.

    I’m not familiar with the animal prosthetic field too much, but could be an idea.

    thank you, and please share more ideas if you can :)


  • this could be interesting. unfortunately I am not at all familiar with composting so don’t understand why this would be useful. could you please explain why temperature monitoring is important for composting, or direct me to somewhere I could read more for myself? I want to learn, thanks :)












  • What is your end goal with this? Going for BSc in Computer Science / Engineering would enable you to become a developer / computer scientist.

    Photo/video/vector editing seems very out of place in your plan. That’s just another domain. If you’re passionate about those visual arts, that’s great and more power to you, but know they’re not relevant for a computer scientist. Src: I’ve been there.

    Regarding everything else you’ve said, it seems to me that you’re learning stuff without a direction and just because you’ve heard those things (cs50 / linux), are important. I suggest you choose a moderately difficult task (game, app, tool, website, ehatever) that seems interesting for you to create, (install linux) and start working on it, and focus on finishing it. You’ll learn a lot on the way and gain a broader understanding of how a project is pieced together. Most importantly, you’ll figure out what you don’t know, and thus eill have a direction going forward.

    And don’t get me wrong, you’re right, you can gain a lot of valuable knowledge by going through cs50 or learning to use the linux terminal, but it’s not really useful unless information, unless you apply it to a project.
