Color Picker
- React
- Typescript
- CSS
- Vite
- Vitest
I started this project in 2011 to learn about different color spaces and experiment with HSL which was new to the web at the time. Today it's a modern React/TypeScript app that features wide gamut support through OKLCH (accessing vibrant P3 colors impossible in sRGB) including a real-time visualization of gamut boundaries, and live updates across all color models to help users understand how different color spaces relate. With around 40k unique visitors monthly, it's become a go-to tool for designers and developers exploring modern CSS color capabilities.
Court Shuffle

I wrote this app to help tennis and pickleball players easily organize casual play. Select court numbers and let everyone draw a card. The number matches the court and the suit helps players find a parnter or opponent. I built this app as a PWA so users can install it on their homescreen for offline use. For those with a data connection, they can share the deck and draw from multiple devices and it's all synced instantly with a Convex backend.
During the great indie blogging bubble, I built Octopress, a powerful companion to the Jekyll blogging engine, designed to give developers a beautiful way to blog. With over 2.5k forks and more than 9k stars on GitHub, it remains my most widely known project. More than just a Jekyll theme, it included a robust code-highlighting system, social feeds (when those were prevalent), and a suite of powerful shell scripts to automate managing drafts, publishing, and even a hooks framework to prioritize plugin patches.
