Projects

Most of my projects are hosted on Sourcehut, but some of my older projects can also be found on NixNet’s Forgejo instance. I do have a Github account, but I don’t actually host any projects on it as I prefer more open platforms.
All of these projects were created to scratch an itch.
Active projects ¶
These are what I’m currently focusing on.
willow (2023-09-21) (Go)
Tracks software releases across various platforms. Still a work-in-progress with bugs major and small, but I've been "dogfooding" it with my all my private self-hosted services, everything on NixNet, and the AUR packages I maintain. It does work and I find it quite useful 🙂
On hold ¶
There are still things I want to accomplish with this software, but I don’t have enough bandwidth to work on them at the moment.
earl (2022-01-01) (Go)
I take a lot of hand-written notes and wanted a quick way to write down web references. I was unsatisfied with all of the current URL shortener implementations so I decided to write my own.
Finished projects ¶
These are projects that I consider “finished”. I might fix the occasional bug, but they meet my needs as they are and I will not be adding major swaths of code to introduce new features.
rss2fedi (2023-06-01) (Go)
Looks at a provided RSS feed, converts the HTML to plaintext, truncates to 100 words, shoves those words into a templated, and posts to fedi. Supports authenticating with Akkoma, Pleroma, and Mastodon. Patches for additional platforms are welcome.
opml2md (2023-05-01) (Go)
Takes an OPML file exported from an RSS reader, turns it into bulleted lists of subscriptions (ignoring particular sections if desired), and shoves those lists into a templated Markdown file. It's in use on the feeds page.
p2c (2023-04-05) (Go)
Generates cover images for Hugo sites using the page's frontmatter, the site's global config, and file's metadata. It's written in Go and generates images using Gio, a cross-platform GUI framework. It generates the cover images for most of the pages and posts on this site.
go-webring (2021-12-18) (Go)
This is generalised software for creating and maintaining old-school webrings. It currently powers Fediring.net.
Future projects ¶
Tools I want but that I haven’t necessarily had time to start on yet
Alternative Bond Touch client/server
The official app is just an unusable pile of trash. I want to reverse-engineer the bracelet's Bluetooth protocol and implement my own client/server. Client functionality will be strictly limited to sending/receiving touches and matching touch patterns with user-defined messages. Server functionality will be strictly limited to transferring touches between devices.
Abandoned projects ¶
Unfinished tools I don’t plan to finish.
rārangi (2021-10-12) (Go)
A todo TUI that operates on basic text files. Unfinished items are denoted with a - and finished items are denoted with a +. I wanted to try Bubble Tea but decided it was more complicated than I was ready for at the time.
