My sister is a doctor. Writing the prescription is the easy part. The hard part happens at home. Right pill, right time, every day. So I built Anatono. Snap the prescription and it sets the reminders. Free, runs on @googlegemma Gemma 4. anatono.site

Hosting the Hacktoberfest Hack Day was an amazing experience As the Codebar Lead Chapter Organiser in Peterborough, I had the opportunity to host this event, and seeing all the planning, effort, and hard work come together so beautifully was incredibly rewarding. From setting up and welcoming attendees to watching teams design and develop amazing solutions, the day was packed with creativity, collaboration, and learning. We enjoyed lunch, networked and wrapped things up with a demo session where each team presented their projects and solutions. And of course, we couldn’t end the day without celebrating our winning team and giving out PRIZES!!! 🏆🎁 But if I had to pick my biggest highlight, it would be the amazing people I met. The energy, the ideas, the collaboration, and the willingness to learn and build together made the experience truly special. It was truly beautiful to see the way they worked together as a team. Did I have some challenges hosting this event? YES Did I overcome those challenges? ABSOLUTELY I’m proud of what we accomplished, grateful to everyone who participated, and excited to keep creating spaces where people can connect, learn, collaborate, and build amazing things together. More to come 🥂

Hacktoberfest wraps up this week, but what you learned doesn't have to. 🎃 Keep building, share what you made, and help the next builder get started. There's still time to join: hacktoberfest.com

Keep building on your Hacktoberfest projects. That project you started at a Hack Day doesn't have to end when October does. Swap in a new open-weight model, add a feature, or turn your demo into something you actually use every day.

Share what you made. Push your code to a public repo, write up what worked (and what didn't), or post a quick demo video. Open source runs on people sharing what they've learned.

Open weights and open source aren't quite the same thing. 🔓 To celebrate the final week of Hacktoberfest, Rosendo breaks down open-weight models on this week's Prompt Pad, using @googlegemma as an example.
