A look at how I implemented a voting mechanism for my todo list items, allowing users to vote on which features they want to see implemented next.
An interactive 2D map of games on the Steam Store using embeddings from Qwen3
A quick warning if you’re using Kopia to manage backups for multiple machines with a single repository.
A guide on implementing custom hand gestures for Apple Vision. We’ll be using these gestures to control a Thruster toy in the Spatial Physics Playground app, by adjusting its strength and toggling it on and off without the user needing to use UI buttons.
A web application for searching Steam games using embeddings generated from game descriptions and reviews.
A brief implementation overview of the entire project and how it was put together, including definitions and background information needed to understand how it works.
Covering how to query the Steam API to get game data, and how to store it in a database from Python. It also covers some issues that arose along the way.
This post covers how I used Instructor to create embeddings for my database. Details involved include how I implemented chunking, and how I stored embeddings in sqlite3.
Covering the math behind embedding comparisons, how to create an index for the embeddings, and providing some examples of the results from my testing database.
The first step in sharing the project with others. In this post, we’ll create a simple API that can be used to query the embeddings we’ve created.
How to write a React app when you don’t know React, using Copilot to write most of the code for you.
The title screen for my game prototype, Statue Concept. Recently, I published my game, Statue Concept , on Itch.io and wanted to share my experience using the Godot game engine with C#. In this article, I will discuss some of the thoughts and issues I encountered while working with Godot, along with the workarounds I found. Hopefully, this will be helpful for others who are considering using Godot…

Repo Search is a tool for searching for code by what it does using natural language queries, based on OpenAI’s embeddings. Use it to help figure out what file you need to be working on! It happens to me pretty often when working with medium to large repositories that I have no clue what file I need to be looking at to make a particular change I’m trying to create. Repo Search is a tool…

I have a little experience with Nix, but not a whole lot. Recently a post popped up on Hacker News about Zero to Nix , which I decided to run through on my MacBook. After fixing a minor Mac-specific bug (specific to the Zero to Nix installer), I had a Nix installation ready to go! All I needed was something to do with it. I eventually managed to make a PR to nixpkgs (basically Nix’s package…
Borg Explorer is a cross-platform application for Linux and Mac that allows you to browse through your Borg repositories without needing to mount them. It is intended to be a simple alternative to the borg mount subcommand for cases where FUSE mounts are not available.

I stumbled upon Nix recently and I thought it was a very interesting project. If you’ve managed to find this post, then I imagine you already have an idea of what Nix is. But if not, they’ve provided a handy page describing exactly what makes it so convenient for developers. One of the things you find out very quickly when you start learning Nix is that a lot of information teaching…
A Godot-based application for tracking where you’ve been in the world, making use of OpenStreetMap data. This is a prototype for a larger idea that may be pursued in the future. Concept An application intended to help you thoroughly explore an area of the world. Pick an area of the world map with roads or paths that you’d like to explore every part of. Then, import GPX files tracking…
