1) I made a Mac app to replace the default app switcher.
By Richard Qi
I felt there were many ways to improve the default app switcher on Mac, so I created my own replacement using Swift. In this talk, I’ll share a bit about my journey so far in building and marketing it!
2) Predict My Pancreas for Fun and Profit
By Wong Kok Rui
Kok Rui is a graduating NUS Hackers coreteam member who was recently told he has an incurable disease. We discuss how to reverse-engineer your continuous glucose monitor’s API to hack together a betting market on your blood glucose levels so your friends can earn fake internet points… and maybe you can learn more about your health!
3) Open-Source Productivity Tools for University
By Lam Chun Yu
We discuss various editors, shells, environments to create a productive and opinionated setup for university! Come to find out some cool software you might not have heard of, or some software you’ve never really utilized to it’s fullest potential!
And who knows, maybe a few more? 👀
