Now this is awkward, but the Amtrak train tracking API (which this relies on) has stopped working...

Hi everyone, my name is Piero! Amtraker is my main project currently, and I am excited to launch its second, and very much improved, version! Amtraker NEXT is built with Next.js with many more features including, but not limited to: - Tracking Map - Ability to view All Trains - Improved Service Worker Caching - Smarter Navigation System - Improved Code Quality - Improved SEO - Various...

Pretty self explanatory in the description, if you want to use it make sure you can run it locally with NPM installed (npx clordle) or try it on Replit: https://replit.com/@piemadd/clordle-demo

This past August on my way to college via the Empire Builder, one thing which really stood out to me was that Amtrak's train tracker wasn't usable with limited 3g or even 2g along sections of their cross country trains in the middle of nowhere. Why is this? Well loading the map pulls down a few MB, which in these conditions is terrible, though is quite expected with any modern application (you...

Hey all! After building my Amtrak.js library about a week ago, I decided it would only be appropriate to follow up an API to not have any programmer feel left out. I used the library to make and API which allowed for much more specific pieces of data to be grabbed, instead of everything from the Amtrak API. I then actually implemented this functionality *back* into the library, which was quite...

I've had a love for trains for some time now, and naturally, being from the US and now living in Chicago (the passenger train capitol of the US), I wanted to make my own tracking program to see which trains I might be able to catch or see. The thing is, Amtrak's train tracking API is fairly difficult to work with, as the returned data is encrypted, and encrypting it is just a headache. As I...

While walking through a Target in Chicago and getting ready for my first year at IIT, I thought to myself that I was saying "Yes" or "No" a lot to my mom. But, as a programmer, I felt this was a task that would 100% benefit from being automated, which is why I made this simple yet elegant website. It just works. Check it out: https://yay.ornay.net/

I originally made Replit.sh as an internal tool for Replit back in October. It was messy, bloated, and slow, but it worked. This spring I started on a rewrite as I wanted it to be something to be proud of. I cut back on unnecessary scope, ported it to JS, and optimized the hell out of it. Being the rewrite, v4 has matured into a state where I am confident even Fortune 500 companies could use it...

Wanting to give this one a shot but getting stuck because of my 13 digit serial number. Anyone know of a working converter?

In the current age of authentication, some of the most important links which secure us pass through our emails every single day. Because of this, there is always the risk that someone over your shoulder at a coffee shop, workplace, or really anyone who can take a glance or picture at your computer, even for a few seconds, would be able to see the copy-paste versions of these links and use them...
