Projects

At any given time, I’ve got a number of side projects on the go to complement my regular work. Here’s what I’m working on at the moment.

Wired

🟡 Canary is an ultra-minimal, fast, accessible HTML theme which may or may not be for an upcoming project.

⚽ Ref Assistant helps football referees (such as my daughter) keep track of matches. I’m vibe coding it using Applet.

🎨 Album Shelf allows you to curate your favourite music albums and show off their covers either on social media or as your video conference background.

🔗 Eink.link is a basic, fast-loading website aimed to be used on e-reader web browsers. The code repository can be found here.

💥 Thought Shrapnel is a site with a weekly email roundup where I share and comment on things I find around the web.

Tired

🐴 Vibe.horse is a somewhat-unserious invitation to “join the vibe tribe” and get started with vibe coding.

🕙 Badge to the Future is a simple Verifiable Credentials issuer which I’m slowly vibe coding into existence.

🖼️ (Un)familiar is an art project presenting black and white scenes from everyday life with a small twist…

🤖 I was using ChatGPT to help me make simple web apps and games. I made: RetroEmoji Challenge, Emoji Flashback, and WeatherHue. I wrote a post explaining how I made the first of these here.

Expired

👟 Exercise.cafe was a community focused on sharing and discussion of exercise and fitness-related activities. I handed over control and ownership to its most active user. You can see the original announcement blog post here.

🔥 Extinction.fyi was an RSS feed styled as a web page documenting the climate emergency. The code repository can be found here.

🌻 Privacy.garden was a WordPress-based site which brought together RSS feeds around privacy-related information in a ‘river of news’ style.
