<p>I'm a high school student. I spend a lot of time programming. I've mostly done full stack web dev, but am learning Kotlin for Android development, and trying out Godot for the school Game Dev Club. Also in school robotics! Writing C++ for that (doing Vex robotics). Used to use Linux (Kubuntu), waiting to use it again (prob. Fedora). Btw, I use the programmer's dvorak (~100 wpm).</p>
<p>Like I mentioned above, I've been just experimenting around recently. Working on a bunch of small projects in Python, GDscript, Java, and Kotlin. Until I find something good enough to stick with, because web dev doesn't sound great as a career choice. If you want to see whatever project I'm working on this week, it'll be up on my GitHub.</p>
<p>A ambitious project I was working on in JavaScript was <ahref="https://github.com/hnasheralneam/git-organized">Git Organized</a>, a project management and planning tool; web hosting isn't working right now, but you can set it up yourself if you like.</p>
<p>Another small tool I made is <ahref="activity-log/">Activity Log</a>, which is meant to be used for tracking time. It's a really cool project, with a nice design and charts and everything. I'm trying to make this an Android app.</p>
<p>I also made a small JS library called <ahref="digit/">Digit</a>, which writes out long numbers in words. I'm still polishing this, and plan on adding time related features; this is probably the most useful thing I've made.</p>
<p>Trying to switch to more open source stuff, like libreoffice. It's not bad, just having everything online is helpful because I can't exactly install libreoffice write on a school chromebook.</p>
<p>For operating systems, I have to use Windows now, but hate it with a passion. As soon as possible, I'm switching to Linux and never looking back. I installed Asahi on an Apple Silicon Macbook; some stuff didn't work. But everything else is so much faster.</p>
<p>I know what app I need, and the fastest way to find it is with a quick search. Having a good launcher that searches only through apps and files, not the web, is a great way to find everything I need on my computer. And I do like to keep everything on my computer, with only Google docs and code backed up to GitHub staying in the cloud, and I plan on moving from docs to libre office. Keeping a clean desktop, start menu, and file system is important to find what I need. What would be great is if the search was much better so I could look through my files without folder searching, but I'll just have to wait until I switch to Linux.</p>
