Adding a Portuguese translation for https://www.utilitarianism.net/ and a French one is on the way too!

Built this website with Hugo and it's been one of my favorite (and best) projects of my life. Has PDF generation of articles and a static low-bandwidth instant search of the whole website. Very happy with the build system too (using just)

A web app for my wife and my friends so they can order hot drinks when they are coming to my home.

Still quite early in the development but if you want to make my phone ring you can place an order on this page : https://micro-cafe.nuxt.dev/alix

You won't see your placed order nor get served however.

An app for parents to motivate their kids by awarding them points for good deeds. There are existing apps out there, but I tried them and didn't like them, so I'm building my own. This is a side project for me and I only get to spend a few hours a week on it. Currently in beta testing and I hope to launch around July. https://whirl.digital

Some 20 years ago my kid's first grade teacher did something that motivated the kids to read a lot. Each kid had a small notebook where they would list books they read and the date. The parent had to sign off on each item on the list. When they completed 10, they would be eligible to pick a toy from a basket of dollar store junky toys she had in class. I think it was not just the toy (because they could get enough toys at home) but also the competition and recognition.

I'm building Codus — a privacy-focused, offline-first toolkit for developers with AI enhancements where they make sense. It includes tools like offline chat, a Markdown editor, UUID generator and a JWT decoder. LLMs are pulled and run locally via Ollama, keeping everything private and fast. I'm currently adding a database client, regex tester, text diff tool, and more. https://github.com/JamieLivingstone/codus
