Welcome to My Blog!
Hi, I’m Josh, a hobbyist coder and IT enthusiast exploring various projects and ideas. This site is my creative space where I share apps, coding experiments, and tech-related ventures. If you’re into Android apps, embedded systems (circuit boards and stuff), web development or DIY coding, you’re in the right place!

Projects
If you enjoy randomness and daily inspiration, check out Verse, an Android app that generates pseudo-random Bible verses. Bookmark, look up, and explore verses with ease.
You can download the app here
(Note: I don’t have a Google Play account yet, so the APK is hosted on GitHub.)
Looking for a quick and easy way to create random teams? Meet TeamPicker, my Android app designed to generate pseudo-random teams from a list of people.
Android Users: Download TeamPicker APK here
iOS/Web Users: Try the web version here
For desktop users, I’ve built a Bible app (more on that here) available for both Windows and Linux:
Windows Version: Download here
Linux Version (Source Code): Get it on GitHub
(I’m still figuring out packaging for Linux users.)
Embedded Coding and Arduino Projects
ESP8266 Weather Logger
One of my favorite projects combines an ESP8266, a DHT11 sensor, and a few LEDs to log and display temperature and humidity. An esp8266 is a small and cheap development board similar to what an arduino board is.
Basically, the difference between arduino and espressive (esp8266 and esp32) is the price and physical size. That and the espressive boards have onboard wifi and bluetooth.
The reason this project was so much fun was partially because I programmed a Telegram bot into the esp8266 board. Do you know what this means? I can message it to get the current temperature! It also can return a csv spreadsheet file that it stores on its admittedly very tiny flash storage. I believe it can store up to 2 months of logging the temperature and humidity every hour. I’d like to make it upload this data to google sheets whenever it ran out of storage and then clear the storage for more logging.
Additionally I added indicators for temperature thresholds: a blue and a red LED. They turn on when the temperature rises or falls on 20°C.)

What’s Next?
This blog is still evolving, and I’m open to ideas. Whether it’s new apps, embedded programming like arduino and raspberry pi, or just cool tech experiments, I’ll keep updating as I go. Feel free to explore and let me know what you think! You can reach me on Telegram at: http://t.me/shaggy_moosecoder. I Sometimes post new content at Posts
