Here’s a list of dumb stuff I’ve built!
Squeaky Wheel:
Originally conceived as a sort of bug reporting platform for all of life’s annoyances, it slowly turned into something… different, and harder to explain. Built in Meteor in early 2015, there was a demo version hosted on meteor.com, but I don’t think it works anymore. You can find more technical info here.
goly
A goal-keeping / habit-forming application based on my own best-practices for goal keeping. There’s nothing particularly special about this app compared to the thousands or so other similar applications out there, but it was a good excuse for me to get familiar with iOS development and building APIs in Flask; that is, before I did so professionally.
The goly iOS app, written in Swift, is available for free on the app store! Nothing separates this app from the pack, for sure, but I did write it and it should work (at least, I use it, and it works for me). This app could definitely use a solid once-over with usability in mind, and maybe a twice-over with elegance and design in mind… but since I’m not expecting people to ever really use it, I’m not too worried about it. Feel free to check it out and give me any feedback. Especially if there are any bugs… Oh, and I implemented the yes/no swiping myself. Logo design by my good friends over at Sweeetgum Creative.
An API built in Python Flask, using SQLAlchemy, Alembic, and probably some other stuff, is available on GitHub, which could eventually be used as a back-end for cloud storage and social sharing of goals. However, I’ve completely abandoned that now in favor of using (probably) Firebase — about which decision you can find more on the goly wiki I’ve created in preparation for the launch of goly 2.0 (re-written entirely in ReactNative with a Firebase back-end).
So ends the list
But I’m always working on something!
