  1. Megatron

    Complete · Local site

    NFL fantasy projections with a draft board, trade calculator, and weekly player estimates.

    Draft board listing players ranked by VORP, each with a floor-to-ceiling projection interval bar.

  2. York St Vector

    Live

    An odor-reporting app that checks wind conditions and tracks complaints from separate households.

    Wind status panel showing an ordinance heading, Denver household ordinance reference, wind direction dial with REPORT ODOR control, and live wind speed/direction readout.

    Wind support uses two NWS stations over a 90-minute lookback; it does not establish the odor’s source.

  3. Pyrra

    Live

    A responsive front end with device previews inside the page.

    Device-preview component showing three concept builds with desktop, tablet, and mobile switchers.

  4. all:Lo

    Live

    A music collective’s site with smoke that responds to audio.

    all:Lo site at rest, showing the audio-reactive smoke field, the all:Lo wordmark, and player controls.

    all:Lo’s smoke renderer. The preview uses synthetic inputs; the live site responds to audio.

    Fast envelopes change light; a slower envelope changes geometry.

    How the motion works

    The live site maps fast bass and mid envelopes to light. A more heavily smoothed envelope changes the geometry. Here the two inputs are separated so you can inspect their effects. No audio is being analyzed.

  5. Tesseract

    Complete · Playable demo

    Four-dimensional chess on an 8 × 8 × 8 × 8 grid of 4,096 cells, with piece movement extended to four axes.

    Tesseract: a rotating 4D chess projection beside autonomous-simulation controls and an 8x8 plane inspector.

    Watch two CPU players, step through moves, and inspect any of the 64 board slices.

    Read the coordinate model

    Each axis has 8 positions. Holding z and w fixed gives one ordinary 8 × 8 slice; there are 64 such slices and 4,096 coordinates in total.

    The demo runs entirely in the browser: two CPU players scored one ply deep, a Web Worker for the move engine, and a rotating 4D projection with a plane inspector. It is not a strong chess AI or a standardized rules set.

    No usage or outcome measurement is published here.

  6. Silent Auction

    Complete · Interactive demo

    A silent-auction app built for a friend’s group art show, with bidding on individual pieces.

    Silent-auction demo showing an artwork, a simulated outbid notice, the updated current bid, and controls to bid again.

    Bids advance in $10 increments; a simulated rival demonstrates the outbid flow.

    Technical note

    The December 2025 source history contains a Supabase Realtime subscription for bid updates, a Twilio SMS function, and a switch to requesting outbid emails. It does not identify the revision deployed at the event or establish email delivery.

    This demo runs entirely client-side with fictional artists and pieces, bids saved in localStorage, and a simulated rival whose outbid notice appears in-app; no database or email service runs here.

  7. Trump Accountability Tracker

    Live

    A news tracker that turns headlines into structured records on an hourly schedule.

    Structured list of tracked records with category tags and source links.

    Screenshot · Records · captured 2026-09-05 — Model-extracted records; extraction quality unmeasured.

    A Hi-Lo card-counting trainer with running count, true count, and practice modes.

    Count Practice drill showing a flashed card, practice statistics, and speed control with a running count strip.

    Single-file implementation; includes the Illustrious 18 index deviations.

    Technical note

    Single-file implementation covering running count, true count, deck-penetration tracking, and the Illustrious 18 index deviations across learn and practice modes.

  9. golfcoach

    In development · Local only

    A golf practice coach that turns simulator log files into a report on what to practice.

    System diagram · golfcoach

    golfcoach reads three simulator outputs through a read-only boundary — FSX Play Unity's Player.log for club delivery, GSPro's currentRound.dat for ball flight and spin, and swing-camera clips — and never writes back to those directories. Parsers normalize that data into golfcoach's own SQLite store. Miss clustering and a strokes-gained cost model then produce one ranked practice priority. This diagram documents that pipeline; it is not a validated diagnosis.

    Ground-truth validation has begun and has not cleared its own bar.
