ETscript: https://github.com/markgomez/etscript

An interpreter for AMPscript (DSL for personalizing emails) that I used when I was at ExactTarget/Salesforce. I wanted to learn Rust and needed a project-based approach.

It doesn't really have a real-world use case since it's not integrated with any email platform (e.g., Marketing Cloud). I had loads of fun working on it though! Oh, and it's still missing a garbage collector.

A privacy and caching reverse proxy for Gravatar written in Go:

https://git.sr.ht/~jamesponddotco/privytar

Still need to write tests and deploy an official instance, but the code itself should be working already. I'll consider it ready when those tasks are done and I can have a senior Go developer review the code.

I was inspired by projects like Nitter and Bibliogram. No real reason for it to exist aside from that and "because I wanted to." I guess I also don't trust Automattic all that much either.

There's also acopw, a small cryptographically secure password generator module for Go:

https://git.sr.ht/~jamesponddotco/acopw-go

I'll consider it ready once the underlying cryptographic implementations have been independently audited.

I have created an easy way for me to share photos with my family, especially my ageing parents living abroad. You can see and road test it at https://m.emori.es It is a companion site for a second project to convert old format (images, videos and audios) to digital. Converted media end up in the first site This is half baked at https://www.audiovideotransfers.co.uk/

the primary challenge to convert old audio/video/images to digital is a device to play them. what would the website do? a paid service where i can send my tapes?

https://RPAnytime.com — it's a site for play-by-post gaming, built for purpose instead of hacked together from forum software. Minimal JS. No users yet and it's running out of Activate credits in February, so... we'll see, I guess. http://www.Earsmith.com is a "completed" (but unpublicized and probably only used by me) project I'm proud of — it's for training your pitch sense. (Edit to fix Earsmith URL.)

https://earsmith.com times out for me.
