Side projects
Personal projects, mostly built to scratch an itch. AI-assisted and deliberately
curated, with care put into design, implementation, and verification.
It worked on my machine.
Metaphysical: software projects.
| Project | What it does |
|---|
| Pitwall | Self-hosted telemetry for Garmin workouts and races. |
| Marquee | Personal pixel displays for what matters now. |
| Blackbox | Recent daily synchronization, bounded history and a queryable local Garmin archive. |
| Chio | A Swift toolkit for expressive terminal interfaces. |
Some assembly required.
Physical things.
| Project | What it does |

| Perch | A sculpted, 3D-printable home for a Yoto Mini, cards and kids’ headphones. |
| Toa Payoh Dragon | A six-colour PLA model of Singapore’s dragon playground; v03 is a fit-test candidate. |

Chio is open source; Perch shares its print candidates and editable CAD in its
public repository. Pitwall, Marquee, and Blackbox
have private source code and public overviews. Toa Payoh Dragon shares its candidate CAD and print files in its
public repository; physical fit and print success remain untested. Each project's site describes its current capabilities and
limits. Demonstrations use synthetic data.

Open http://127.0.0.1:8765/. Chio, Perch and Toa Payoh Dragon link to their separately maintained
GitHub Pages sites. Perch’s warm, organic project page, print downloads and
editable CAD live in its public repository; the previous /perch/ address
redirects to its own site.
GitHub Actions checks the staged artifact, JavaScript syntax and browser behavior
before deploying changes on main; pull requests validate without deploying.
Keep project summaries and links current. For a page hosted here, update the
approved asset list in public-assets.json when adding files. Run pnpm verify
and the applicable manual checks, then verify the deployment.
See AGENTS.md for
maintenance guidance and Pitwall capture notes for provenance.
The static index lives in index.html and styles.css,
which own card composition, project themes and status ribbons. Each local page
has its own source guide: Pitwall, Marquee,
Blackbox and the Perch redirect.
The source map also identifies internal build and verification tooling.
