2024

Field of Vision highlights: real time Aussie Rules Football ball detection at 80% accuracy (world’s best to our knowledge), shipped production and certification quality firmware for our devices, built many internal web apps.

Substack2Markdown - Download/export free and premium Substack posts, saving them as Markdown files. Also generates HTML interfaces to allow you to browse and sort the markdown files for each author.
YouTubeSortByLikes - My last project of 2024. A beautiful web app that allows you to sort YouTube videos by likes or like:view ratios, the best signal for quality content imo. Live site
JSONDetective - CLI tool to automatically finds the schema of a JSON file. Built this to understand the structure of massive JSON files with no schema.
StainedGlassMap - Mapping the Irish Stained Glass ecosystem! Due an upgrade soon! Live site
HackIreland - Launched Hack Ireland, our first national hackathon - big, overnight, with an unheard of (within Ireland) €25k cash prize pool. Technically, I designed a pretty cool website. Game of Life, text scrambling subtle encryption effects and suitably hacker vibes. Live site. I also built a live leaderboard on the day connected to everyone’s github repo - so you could see each time someone made a commit - complete with confetti of course. Seeing how active it was at 4.30am made me very happy! Wayback machine
PrintDirTree - CLI tool I use everyday! Prints directory tree structure, and also the contents of files for prompting LLMs, with easy exclusions and copying to clipboard.
BeerBot - Automated script to encourage getting friends to the pub. Specify a time, day of the week, and some pubs, and BeerBot will automatically send a poem to a whatsapp groupchat with instructions to head to a pub.
Article2Audio - Paste a URL link, and it’ll convert the article to an audio file, which you can download, or sync to your podcast listening app via a personal RSS feed (which it autogenerates). Initially built this in Python, as a personal utility, but there were some strange memory leaks, so I rewrote the backend in Go. Live site
SubstackGPT - V1 - Let’s you speak to any substack author, using a basic RAG model over their scraped posts. Initial version built in one night.
EventCountdownRainMeter - Countdown meter for my Windows desktop, a daily reminder of days till deadlines.
JamesTurrellInspiredArt - Replicated James Turrell’s circles in various programming languages… however there’s more that can be done here! Consider it largely a work in progress.
