I built a real-time, interactive Skill Tree Tracker to plan my embedded systems learning. Thoughts?

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a tool I've been working on for tracking and planning growth in embedded systems engineering: The Interactive Embedded Systems Skill Tree Tracker.

It’s inspired by the famous hexagonal skill tree layouts by sjpiper145, but turned into a fully interactive, responsive web app.

🔗 Check it out live: https://colonelblacc.github.io/Embedded-Systems-SkillTree/

🌟 Key Features: Interactive Hex Grid: Click nodes to track your progress in real-time, mapping skills from basic UART/I2C up to secure boot, RTOS, and TinyML.

Real-time Cloud Sync: Secure your profile with a locally hashed password to instantly sync progress across your PC, tablet, and phone (powered by Firebase).

Public Portfolio Sharing: Generate a unique shareable link (e.g., ?user=yourname) to showcase your technical roadmap to recruiters or colleagues.

Fully Privacy-Friendly: Completely supports LocalStorage if you prefer to keep your data local and offline.

🛠️ The Tech Stack: Frontend: Vanilla HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript with a sleek glassmorphism UI.

Backend: Firebase Firestore + Anonymous Auth. Uses the native Web Crypto API (SHA-256) to securely hash passwords client-side.

Automation: A Python compiler script handles merging vector SVG hex nodes and text layers directly into the template.

I’d love to hear your feedback, feature ideas, or what advanced skills you think should be added to the tree next! Let me know what you think.

Phone upgrade suggestion

Guys, I am currently using an iPhone 11. I need to upgrade this because it’s becoming unbearable to use. I used to use Asus and Redmi before, and was an avid custom ROM user from 2018 to 2022. I was fed up with the constant bugs and the hassle of setting up banking apps without root. Now I am really into GrapheneOS, but the issue is the Pixel processors. Are there any other good recommendations besides Pixel? Budget is not an issue!

ee mazha evide poyi, ithenth choodukalaamo, so njan athoode undakki

Over the last few days, one thing I've noticed across Kerala is that almost everyone is talking about the heat.

Even though it's monsoon season, many places haven't received enough rain, and the heat and humidity still feel intense.

Conversations often start with:

"ഇവിടെ ഭയങ്കര ചൂടാണ്, അവിടെ എങ്ങനെയുണ്ട്?"

People keep asking friends, relatives, and WhatsApp groups:

"മഴ കിട്ടിയോ?"
"അവിടെയും ഇത്ര ചൂടാണോ?"
"ഇന്ന് എങ്ങനെയുണ്ട് കാലാവസ്ഥ?"

That got me thinking.

We have weather apps that show forecasts, but there isn't a simple way to see how hot it actually feels right now across different places in Kerala based on what people are experiencing.

So I built ChoodUndo (ചൂടുണ്ടോ?).

A simple community-driven platform where anyone can quickly report how hot it feels in their location and see live reports from across Kerala.

No accounts.
No complicated forms.
Just real people sharing real conditions from where they are.

The goal is simple:

"കേരളത്തിൽ ഇപ്പോൾ ശരിക്കും എങ്ങനെയാണ് തോന്നുന്നത്?"

Would love to hear your feedback and suggestions.
