I work on various side projects. For me, it's fun to build things while learning new technologies that I might not otherwise get to use. This page is to talk about them.
Projects I'm currently working on.
If you look at my media pages (Bookshelf, Movies, Music, Podcasts, TV, & Video Games), their content is generated by Notion's API where I keep the data stored and updated.
This is currently up and running with a Node.js/Sqlite backend with a HTML/CSS/JS frontend. I'm still tweaking things, but it's pretty much done. Just small improvements.
Projects I haven't abandoned, but are inactive or on the backburner.
This is a .NET API / React Frontend app for cooking/baking recipe management system.
I have a MVP of this just about done, but I know the UI/UX could be vastly improved. I hope to get back to it at some point to smooth it out and then finally release it.

I started this idea from the few Excel spreadsheets I use to keep track of my fitness progress. I am/was planning on building a web app to replace the spreadsheet with.
I'm honestly not quite sure where this is at the moment. I've gone through multiple iterations where I've started it, didn't like how it was progressing, and started over.
The system my local hockey rink uses to manage teams and rosters is absolutely awful. I joked about how I could do it better, so I decided to start building something. Currently using a .NET API which I have been working on, but am undecided what to use for the frontend. I've been going back and forth between Blazor and React.
Projects that are more utilities for things I'm working on.
I had and still have snippets in both VS Code and Sublime Text to build out the front matter for the markdown for my blog posts, notes, and book notes. But I built this .NET console app to build the markdown file with the front matter automatically given a few prompts.
I also took the code from my reading log generator that creates the markdown for my weekly reading logs and included it here. For my reading logs, it both generates the front matter and the links from Notion.

Projects I've abandoned.
This was a .NET console app that would generate the social image that would be attached to each post. I've given up on that currently, so this is pretty much in the dustbin.

This is a .NET console app that creates the markdown for my weekly reading logs. Rather than manually going through and creating all the links, I have this tied into the Notion API to generate it with a single console command.
I rolled the code into my site generator so I no longer need this.
