Side Projects

2024
Hygge Quest at Personal

A totally over engineered fantasy website I made for my TTRPG themed wedding.

It handled RSVPs, bulk emailing, guest management, event itinerary, and more.

2024

@pketh wrote a blog post in '22 that inspired a lot for me, and for a year and a half "why is there no 'certified organic' / nutrition facts for software?" bopped around in my head.

@taras brought it back when he posted "why is there no product hunt for small software?"

So I built it.

@taurean & @igor were early testers and helped polish the MVP, giving me the encouragement I needed to actually ship it.

2023

I've wanted to build a command-line themed tarot reader for a long time, and it turns out it was a perfect project to learn OpenAI's APIs.

2022

I love TTRPGs, especially Quest and, of course, D&D5e. I'm building a platform of small tools to help DMs run games.
