Field notes

Five things I make on my own time. Nobody asked for any of them. At work everything on a screen has to be there for a reason; here something can exist because it made me smile. Each page says what I was after, the motion I fell for and what broke. The figures are live, rebuilt from each project’s own code.

• Say the WordsA typing game about the words people add to their prompts: a fake chat, an anime cutscene, and you typing “make no mistakes” against the clock.→
• PaperworldA paper world built by many people: draw something, leave it a note, and it goes to live in a world strangers walk through.→
• ascii/uiA design system drawn in ASCII: components whose frames, fills and shadows are strings of characters, with plain HTML underneath.→
• ShadersA playground of thirty live styles that turn video into dots, ASCII, LCD and more, and an 8 KB web component that ships six of them.→
• The RoutineSkincare recommendations by formula, built with my sister: a routine from products you can buy here, each explained by what is inside.→
