I’ve been exploring what sort of agentic tooling to write for creative coding and realtime VFX. My second iteration just got released earlier this week (also open source): https://sxp.studio/apps/subz

If you’re open to the idea of composing code blocks and ideas, plus some generative UI exploration, feel free to join!

I heard an episode of the Odd Lots podcast about HayWire (haywireag.com), a site that pulls public data from government PDFs + APIs, uses LLMs to parse it and turns it into an easily readable website that has all of the latest info on hay prices. The host made an offhand mention that there's probably a bunch of other similar sites that could be created with all the of useful but difficult-to-access government data ou…

I have been working on a starter template for Astro: https://github.com/BryanHogan/astro-starter-template

I've found Astro to be an amazing framework for simple, performant websites. It stays really close to basic HTML and CSS while adding useful features such as scoped components, layouts, and easy Markdown blog integration.

So I have been using it to build websites. But many things keep repeating with every website I build, so I began working on this project to create a base that I can use for every new web project.

It references content from my Clean Web Development Guide: http://webdev.bryanhogan.com/

When it is far enough along, I will use it for the landing page of the app I'm working on: a customizable solution for self-tracking including habits, health and journaling, or whatever else you need: https://dailyselftrack.com/

After more than 400 days of traveling around Korea, Macau, Mainland China, Japan and Australia, I'm now returning to Germany / Europe looking for work. I wrote about that in my monthly mail-letter: https://bryanhogan.com/follow
