Things I've fiddled with
- CircleMind
A friend imagined a tool that helps you to search ContactOut for an open position, and to find the best fit for that job. I developed it for them. It is essentially a chat interface that is capable of helping you craft your search for ContactOut, and then discussing the results with you.
- better-mui-menu
Accessible Nested Menu for MUI -- Material-UI menu component did not support nested submenus. We needed this, and needed it accessible by keyboard. So I developed it and open-sourced it.
- Barley
I created Barley, a native MacOS app, as a tool for myself to mainly decode JWT tokens locally. It also has other helpful (to me) tools.
- Coffee and Loaf Co.
My wife makes the best sourdough. Everyone asks for a piece. She needed an online menu.
- CSS 3D Box with Angle Input
A pure-CSS 3D box you can rotate via coordinate inputs.
- Sinnet Band Website
Boston local music band Sinnet's website.
- Golang API for Google Dialogflow
A small Go service to drive Google Dialogflow conversations.
- Unbeatable Tic-Tac-Toe (minimax)
A perfect-play tic-tac-toe built with p5.js and the minimax algorithm.
