unashamedly AI-generated code

Yep. The code in this repo was written by AI. On purpose. Out loud. No apologies, no asterisks, no "but I reviewed every line by hand" disclaimer.

I had ideas, I described them, and an AI built them. The result is software that actually works and that I actually use. That's the whole point — and honestly, it's awesome.

So this is the place where I stop pretending otherwise. The name is the disclaimer. If "an AI wrote this" is a dealbreaker for you, this repo is not going to win you over. If you think that's the most exciting thing about it — welcome, you're going to like it here.

What's in here

Chrome extensions

Two extensions that do the same stubborn thing — give you back a feed made of only the people you actually chose to see — on two platforms that really, really don't want you to:

• Facebook Feed: Only Friends & Follows — strips your Facebook home feed down to friends, Pages/people you follow, and groups you're in. Kills Sponsored ads, "Suggested for you", "People you may know", and Reels. Facebook fights this hard with randomized class names and scrambled, decoy-laden "Sponsored" labels, so the extension reconstructs the real visible text from element geometry instead of trusting the DOM.

• LinkedIn Feed: Only 1st Connections & Follows — strips your LinkedIn home feed down to posts from your 1st-degree connections and accounts you actually follow. Everything else — promoted ads, "Suggested" posts, strangers, and posts that only showed up because someone liked or reposted them — gets hidden.

And one that watches a feed instead of pruning it:

• Facebook Group: Player Wanted Alerts — watches a Facebook group's chronological feed for new "our team needs fill-in players tonight" posts and fires a sticky desktop notification with the kick-off time and how many players they're short. Only new posts, never a backlog: a seen-set, a first-run baseline, and an age gate that understands this group holds posts for admin approval. Refreshes itself in the background, with or without a tab open.

Web pages

Static pages, published from docs/ to unashamedai.broadley.org.nz:

• Electorate vs Party (2026 Election) — interactive MMP split-vote and candidate guide across all 71 New Zealand electorates (481 candidates and 7 major parties). Fill in one sentence (“I am from <city/town> and I want to vote for <candidate> and the <party> party”) to compare local candidates, party delivery records from Promised vs Performed, and 8-issue policy coverage side by side. One HTML file, zero outbound network requests.
• Lighthouses of New Zealand — an animated night chart of 86 coastal lights, each sweeping or flashing to its published characteristic on one shared clock. No land is drawn: beams are ray-traced against the real coastline, so the country appears only where light strikes it. One HTML file, no build step, one outbound request (Google Fonts).
• Te Awa Kairangi Roadworks — the weekly SH2 Melling / Te Wai Takamori o Te Awa Kairangi roadworks email for Lower Hutt, redrawn as an interactive map: every affected street coloured by what is happening and when, a week selector, and a "changes this week" view that diffs one email against the last. One HTML file, no build step, one outbound request (Google Fonts).
• Belmont & Kelson Roadworks — the same idea for NZTA's Friday "Wellington region state highway roadworks" email, cut down to SH2 Western Hutt Road between Kelson and the Dowse interchange: each night's lane or full closure past Belmont Domain, Kennedy Good Bridge and Melling drawn on the actual carriageway, with a night-by-night strip per job and the Upper Hutt and regional notes listed alongside. One HTML file, no build step, one outbound request (Google Fonts).
• Average Speed Cameras NZ — all 19 NZTA average speed safety camera sites on one map, from Matakana Road to SH6 Kingston. Each section is drawn along the real road with the 1st and 2nd camera tagged in your direction of travel (reversible) and the distance between them: NZTA's surveyed figure where it has one, the routed road distance where NZTA still says TBC. One HTML file, one outbound request (Google Fonts); the embedded map data is rebuilt by .

Every Chrome extension also has a page on the site, at unashamedai.broadley.org.nz/<extension-folder>/, restating its README in the house style (generated by scripts/build-extension-pages.py).

Mobile apps

• Weighting For Life — an iOS daily intake concept inspired by MacroFactor, stripped down to five numbers (Carbs, Protein, Fat, Sugar, Salt) with plain-English lookup against the New Zealand Food Composition Database, 1-tap routines, a heavy-exercise toggle, and an "I ate too much" button that gently rebalances tomorrow.

Each project has its own README with the full how-it-works writeup.

Why say it this way

Because the interesting story isn't "a human or an AI wrote this." It's that describing what you want and getting working software back is real now, and pretending otherwise is just noise. These projects scratch real itches. They run. They're built in the open with AI front and center. That's the experiment, and it's a good one.
