recreation.gov notification "system" so i can seize the opportunity whenever a coveted backcountry permit opens up.

it's just a web scraper ran via github actions. i get emails whenever my subscribed permits changed.

I've built a few apps which started out as tools for my own use and later polished + released for public. - Cone: This started out as a small tool to help me identify the name of the colors of objects around me (i am a red-green colorblind). Now it's a full fledged color picker app with a Pantone license - https://cone.app - CBVision: This is another small tool for colorblind people which shifts the problematic color…

Awesome work. Love your clean design and copy. Unwind has one of the best App Clip experiences I’ve seen.

I’ve similarly built an app for my family to collaborate on recipes which I’ve since made public - https://umami.recipes

Do you mind sharing the code for this, or point me to the audio fingerprinting solution you use? I'd love to replicate this.

I’m not a .NET guy so it’s implemented as a CLI tool that takes a wave file as input and spits out a list of timestamps. Sharing the code would mean getting into the business of publishing an ad blocker which is not something I personally have the bandwidth for. It’s also far from my finest wo…

i created an apple watch app that lets you sync your own music library to the watch using wifi (much faster than the bluetooth channel all the other watch apps use)

it also gives you the option to play songs using either attached airpods or using the internal speaker (impossible using any other app)

it's called sync-sing :)
