Projects I've enjoyed building.

A few things I wanted to work on: a pantry app, a Morse code trainer and a Bible reader, plus some smaller experiments.

PrepWise

A kitchen companion that knows what's in the pantry and what you can cook with it.

  • Tracks stock and expiration dates, and flags allergens.
  • Recipes check themselves against the pantry, and the shopping list fills itself in.
  • No account and no server. It runs offline and your data stays in your browser.

Smaller things I made along the way.

    Shape-finding and matching games for toddlers and young kids.

  • Bible Dimensions

    Compile and organize lists of Bible references for a study or a talk. Runs entirely in the browser.

  • Education Tools

    Small, hands-on learning tools for kids, one per page, that work on a tablet or phone even offline.
