I published my first NuGet package (https://www.nuget.org/packages/Kritner.SolarProjection/)! Kristen and I recently were considering (and have since financed) a 17,000 kw/year solar array, on the back of our house - https://photos.app.goo.gl/gZzp7DnkeEcg1zQMA. In the process of deciding whether or not to go for it, I started on some spreadsheets, to try and figure out when it would seemingly be "less expensive to have the solar panels, than our normal energy bill".
With that spreadsheet I thought that it seemed like a good opportunity to try out a few new things I hadn't - additional docker work, a NuGet package, some basic angular, typescript, more unit testing. So over the past few weeks after dinner, I've been tinkering around with my website and produced solar-projection. It started out all contained within my github repo of https://github.com/Kritner/KritnerWebsite, but I needed to figure out how to start playing around with NuGet, so now I have the core "solar projection" logic in its own package - its repo is located at https://github.com/Kritner/Kritner.SolarProjection.
The site is not currently pretty, but it does (hopefully accurately) tell me the information I wanted to know - solar panels seem to work out great for us, as long as we can get 90-100% power generation from the panels (and they're guaranteed for 90% of the 17k).
I hope to be able to continue exploring angular, to make it a bit prettier with perhaps some charting, and datagridding, and perhaps turn it into a stupid little app I could maybe make a few cents off of? Currently the site only estimates ***my*** solar panel array, but it should be a quick change to allow some user inputs so others could use it too.
Oh! and if anyone's interested, the package could be used to run the numbers before I get the user inputs in (or you could do it for me? :D). The solar array was installed via Vivint Solar, if you're interested in getting a system, I get referral bonuses, get at me!

Looking for recommendations - .net core compatible dependency mapping
I'm going to be looking into converting a lot of our projects into NuGet packages, and it is a large solution, so ideally I'd be able to map the current (pre NuGet conversion) project dependencies.
I'll be doing some research into potential extensions I can add to visual studio to do this, but if anyone has something in mind, suggestions are appreciated!
Something like this, but on a much larger project scale:

Update on keto
Hey, it's been like a month and a half since starting keto. I'm down to 170, down to 20% body fat (depending on the day), and I haven't measured my belly yet, but two notches tighter on the belt. Holy heckin gosh!
This is my first post since I was introduced to dev.to (I imported... most? of my previous blog posts). This seems like a pretty cool platform, hopefully I'll be able to make more time for blogging (I think this is like the 5th time I've said this)
