Nutshell

Here is a summary of my Deogrid project: it's a tool that you download which links tutors (mostly math tutors) with those needing instruction. It can also be used to build software and sell things online.

Pardon me for getting technical in this paragraph. The "secret sauce" of Deogrid has to do with a certain constraint acting on the software that you build with the Deogrid tool. That constraint involves the formatting of text: an intermediate format between mono-spaced (like a typewriter) and variable width (like a modern word processor or website). Each character takes up 2 square cells: an upper cell and a lower cell. So the screen presented to the end user is in the form of a grid, simplifying the software development process for the programmer (a Deogrid customer) using the tool to build software. Also the grid-oriented format enables math tutors and students to easily enter/edit math problems.

The Deo in Deogrid comes from DO + E, where the "do" keyword precedes every code block in Deoscript syntax, and E stands for Easter. I started my Deogrid project on Good Friday. Deoscript is the name of the built in scripting language bundled with Deogrid. Deogrid is my latest scheme to keep busy and perhaps even start a profitable business. In the past several months before Easter 2019 I haven't been keeping busy enough which is bad for my mental health.
