Working on a site to help people find stained glass windows to visit in their towns/cities. No exciting tech (vanilla HTML/CSS/JS) and lots of data entry, but making some decent progress! https://www.stainedglassatlas.com

I've been collecting and digitizing vintage print advertisements and publishing them ( https://adretro.com ). I have tens of thousands of ads in the collection and it would take me many lifetimes to complete, but I've been using AI to extract and catalog the meta data.
