As part of our recent moves toward better fitness, my partner & I picked up a secondhand exercise bike in the fall. Nice enough bike, but batteries were left in the display module when it went into storage, so it was dead when we got it. Enter the Arduino nerd; I set out to build a replacement module.

Full 1.0.0 release: Fedi-follow Widget
My Fedi-Follow widget is ready for a full 1.0.0 release!

In the process, I found Ontario Public Health's data feeds and ended up building something much more generic and reusable than I initially intended. Aside from the very local hospitalization and ICU numbers from KHSC, the Ontario feeds can be filtered to be useful anywhere in the province.

I'm bad at documentation, so in #MastoBot I'm making a concerted effort to be mindful of it.
Enter tooling! I'm using #JSDoc with #GitLab Pages and CI.
