Project details
Pixel Pantry
A recipe box that only accepts recipes you can fit on an index card.
I kept losing recipes in forty browser tabs, so I built a tiny recipe box. Every recipe has to fit on a virtual index card. If it doesn’t fit, the recipe is too complicated and you should make toast instead.

Bus Oracle
Tells you when the next bus is coming, with the confidence of a fortune teller.
Pulls the city’s live transit feed and predicts arrivals. It is right most of the time. When it is wrong, it is wrong with total conviction, which is honestly the most authentic bus experience available.

Dice Goblin
A dice roller for tabletop nights that remembers every bad roll you've made.
Rolls any dice you can type (3d6+2, 1d20 with advantage, 100d100 if you are a monster). Keeps a history so everyone at the table can see who has been cursed. Recently Dice Goblin learned to sulk.

Tide Timer
High tide, low tide, and a countdown to the best time for rock pooling.
This page is under construction. Please check back soon!
A tide chart for one specific beach I like. Currently it knows the tides for exactly one week of the year, which I am told is not enough weeks.

Plant Nanny
Nags you to water your plants before they file a complaint.
Each plant gets a schedule and a little mood meter. Miss a watering and the mood drops. My ficus is currently rated “disappointed but hopeful”.

Link Jar
A jar to throw links into so I can pretend I'll read them later.
A self-hosted bookmark bin. Paste a link, it grabs the title, it goes in the jar. The jar is currently broken because I changed the database and forgot I did. It will be fixed any day now (this has been true since March).
