A cold-outbound platform that finds, contacts, and qualifies B2B prospects automatically. Discovers local service businesses through map data, directories and web search; scores each lead for fit; checks every factual claim an email makes against the live business site before it sends; writes a personalized opening line for each one; sends through rotating mailboxes to dodge sender-reputation throttling; classifies inbound replies (interested, not now, not a fit, bounce) automatically; A/B tests subject lines and CTAs at the campaign level; refills the queue when leads run low; pauses sending when bounce rates spike. Built for agencies and service businesses that want a self-running outbound engine without hiring an SDR team. Installable as a phone app for inbox-on-the-go management.

998 personalized emails sent · 4 live campaigns · first paying client August 2026 · live pre-send verification · iOS + Android PWA

A review-funnel system for local service businesses. After a job is completed, the customer gets a one-question email: were you happy? A "yes" routes them to the business's public Google or Facebook review page. A "no" routes the message privately to the business owner instead. so concerns are heard, and the public review feed stays clean. More leads, fewer drive-by 1-star reviews.

A free, no-signup focus & sleep sound mixer that runs entirely in the browser. Every sound (white, pink and brown noise plus rain, ocean, wind, fan and rumble) is synthesized live with the Web Audio API, no audio files. Each layer has its own volume, tone (filter) and stereo pan, over a global reverb. Behind it all sits a full-screen, sound-reactive visualizer driven by a real-time FFT analyser: the background literally becomes the mix (rain falls, waves roll, the scene pulses on the bass), and the whole palette shifts to match the active sounds. One-tap mood presets, a randomizer, shareable mix links encoded in the URL, a sleep timer, and one-click recording that captures the live mix and encodes it to MP3 right in the browser.

Strangers paint one wall together, one layer each. The homepage is a hallway of ten numbered doors, and every door opens into a themed room with its own light, sound and rules. All ages, 13 and up. Built as the sister site to RelayWriters with a deliberately different visual language: Fraunces, Hanken Grotesk and a gold-on-black palette instead of the writers' rooms.

Built on Cloudflare Workers AI: FLUX draws the pages, Llama writes the copy. Subscriptions via Stripe. Google OAuth. Deployed on VPS with CI/CD.

Chess where every capture shatters. Pieces are glowing crystal, built from SVG facet polygons, and when one takes another the board dims, the attacker charges, and the victim explodes into its own facets: screen shake, particle debris, a kill-name flash, and a WebGL fractured-crystal background whose crack seams light up with the shockwave. Under the theatrics is a full rules engine with a Stockfish opponent at four skill levels, plus online multiplayer over WebSockets with Elo ratings, shareable invite links, a leaderboard, and match history. Every sound is synthesized in WebAudio at runtime; the entire game ships with zero audio assets.

Highly contagious chess content. A strategy and tactics hub that treats chess obsession as a diagnosable medical condition, styled like a Soviet public-health propaganda poster: flat black, stamp red, numbered bulletins, and a knight mark with a square red eye. Articles answer the question in the first two sentences and target the long-tail beginner queries the big chess sites skip, each one ending with a contextual funnel into ShatterChess. Includes a daily puzzle. Astro static build, published on a deliberate weekly drip.

A scrapbook timeline for my son. Headless Chromium scrolls a public Google Photos shared album end-to-end, captures every batchexecute response, parses the protobuf metadata for capture timestamps, video markers, and per-item deep-links, then renders a hybrid scrapbook + clean-modern + timeline-diary layout grouped by month with computed age labels (3y 8m, 11m, 5d). Polaroid frames for stills with subtle rotation and tape; VHS cassette frames for videos (539 of them) with a pulsing REC dot, deep-linked to the GPhotos viewer for playback. Auto-refresh cron picks up new photos as I take them.

Event-trigger arbitrage on Kalshi. The bot watches upstream price feeds, races the platform's quote update, and takes the side that's about to move. After a graded backtest of every paper trade, it now trades one slice only: ETH same-session contracts, entries at or under 58 cents, 4 to 9 hours from expiry, held to settlement. Paper since March, with sentinel logs and a daily P&L digest that emails me when a fill misses or an edge dries up.

280 paper trades graded at settlement · ETH same-session window · live gate: 50 trades and a 55% lower-bound win rate

Two-sided quoting on Kalshi events with take-profit hedge-locks. The bot posts both yes and no, drifts the spread by recent fill aggression, and once a position runs profitable it can buy the other side to lock the gain in cash rather than ride to expiry. Currently parked while the latency-arb cycles capital faster.

Three-model ensemble for daily-high-temperature contracts on Kalshi. Pulls forecasts from GFS, ICON, and GEM and only trades when all three agree on direction with a calibrated probability above 0.75. NO-only entries, currently New York and Seattle markets. Parked in September 2026: 373 graded paper trades came in at a 33% win rate, and the Lockpicker below replaced it.

The no-prediction bot. It reads the observed daily high at each airport station and only buys a temperature contract whose outcome that reading has already decided: the high is past the strike, the market has not repriced, and the payout after fees still beats the ask. Every signal is recorded with the full order book so the fill assumption can be checked before real money, and going live takes two keys.

Opening-range breakout on same-day SPY options. Tracks the first 15 minutes of regular trading hours, takes 0.3% out-of-the-money strikes on a clean break, and rides a +30 / -20 trailing stop under a 25% hard stop. Sized at $500 a trade on paper; the backtest harness rejects regimes (high VIX, FOMC, headline days) before risk capital ever touches.

64 paper trades logged · OTM 0.3% strikes · 25% hard stop · record restarted September 2026 after a clock fix

Imbalance-confirmed opening-range breakout on Micro E-mini S&P (MES). Watches the first 20 minutes of RTH, then needs three things to align before pulling the trigger: clean break of the OR high or low, volume above the session average, and a rolling order-flow imbalance pointing the same way. ATR-adaptive stops, contrarian flip exit, hard cutoff at noon. Walk-forward validated 67% winning windows, best 75% WR / 3.17 PF.
