Projects

A living, incomplete list of the projects I'm currently working on. To what extent I'm working on them is ever-changing. But they all have active sub-folders in my /projects/ folder, so that's something.

Update April 2024: I've sorted them into a few categories.

Current

What Why Steps, A Todo App For Those With ADHD And ADHD-Like Traits. A proof of concept / beta is live now, try it out. I'm testing it with my own projects and collecting feedback before deciding what to do with it next.
Untitled Novel Project, A Light-Sci-Fi Mystery Novel. First draft completed, currently working on revisions. It's 'light' sci-fi in that it vaguely related to space and such but that's not the core thing. It just happens to happen in a setting related to that. It's more about the mystery and figuring out life in your 40s. I'll add a proper synopsis after the next revision.
Food Board, My Personal Recipe Trello Board. This is very outdated now, and I've changed up my diet once again in 2024. Needs a full overhaul, but still has plenty of recipes that I used to know.
Record Watch, A Media Logger For Games, Shows and Movies. Inspired by my quick-and-dirty app in this post, I think there're more possibilities here. Curation service, maybe. Website embeds. Canada-specific streaming service data. A social thing with group watch nights. I'm not sure exactly what this will be, if anything. Just poking at the idea.

Back burner

Untitled "AI" Website Maker. Can we take any ol' input and use intelligence to make sure the result is a beautiful website? Don't get too excited, there's limited use of generative AI in here, though it does have a small place. The real magic is in the other types of AI combined with tight human design control. Status: built a POC/MVP. It's very complex though so I'm not sure I can tackle it as a solo dev side project. I may have to drastically cut scope and see if there's a much simpler product in there.

Freezer

Grapefruit, Consumer Mental Health App. A really customizable, but simple, mental health tool. Great for journalling, tracking mood and emotions, and doing some pattern analysis. As of 2024, it's shut down.
Money Is Hard, An Un-Boring'ed Personal Finance Guide For Canadians. Personal finance writing is pretty dull. But the basics aren't that complicated. This is a guide, presented as a series of Q&As, as if you were talking to a friend. Written by self-taught non-experts for that extra down-to-earth flavor. Feedback was positive, so there's something here, but never got it out of the draft stage.
