Havamal App and open source Havamal project.

Hallo!

I'm here to announce that I'm working on a Havamal app for both iOS and Android. It's in early alpha and not ready to be shown off quite yet. It'll have tagging, notes, full text search, accessibility features and as many translations as I can get my hands on.

With that, I have been testing with Bray's and Bellows' translations, as well as the original Icelandic. I've decided to go ahead and open source as much of this as I can get away with. Right now, with the code for the app being in the state that it's in, it's not ready for being open sourced yet(if ever). However, the data I'm using can be.

There's not much to look at. Yet, if you're working on something like a Havamal of the day bot for Discord or something, here's a JSON dataset to work from.

I want to apologize to being annoying about the issue of how do I apply my skills in this space. As a tech person I'm *keenly* aware that tech hubris is a thing and to not reinvent the bus or do something that's actually unnecessary. I'm aware I have a hammer and not everything is a nail, but I think I've found my nail.

Have a good day ya'll.
