Things I build
when nobody
asked me to.
Clones and experiments. This is where a technique gets tested and broken well before it turns up in anything a client depends on. A fair amount of it went nowhere, which is also useful information.
A few worth opening. Everything else is on the profile.
A playable clone of the New York Times Spelling Bee on the Next.js app router. Built to put React Spring through something with real state, and it is still online.
An unsolicited redesign of the Tax Administration Jamaica site, rebuilt on Astro and wired to a headless CMS. The source is private, so this one opens the deploy rather than a repo.
A modal done properly rather than quickly. Vanilla-extract for the styling and an actual test file, which is the part a one-off component usually skips.
The Vercel dashboard rebuilt in Vue, taken on to try vanilla-extract and VueUse motion against a layout somebody else had already solved.
A multi-step quote calculator in Vue 3, built for the parts a form like that actually needs: currency input, step state, and a summary that stays in sync.
A data table built from scratch in Vue 3, columns and row selection included, to find out what the libraries are quietly doing on your behalf.
Notes from the work, written mostly so the explanation exists somewhere I can find it again.
