Projects
Some things I've made, with ample Codex assistance:
- Article Word Counter: This Chrome extension calculates an article's word count and reading time, according to your reading speed. My favorite part is that within an article, you can double-click a word and the extension badge will update with what percent done you are. Installation instructions are included on GitHub.
- Budget: This is my favorite project. I had been looking for a budgeting app that allowed me to both plan for monthly expenses and then later track how I was spending in the categories, but to no avail. So, I built one myself. This was in Excel for a couple of years, but with Codex I moved it online. It supports account creation, so feel free to use it yourself! All you need is an email. It's highly customizable, powerful, user-friendly, and private (it has end-to-end encryption if you want, so no financial data leaves your browser). Feel free to go full throttle and tie everything out to the last penny, or opt for a simpler budget that just tracks your category spending. Don't forget to report bugs and suggest features within the app, and happy budgeting!
- Personal Twitter bookmark database: This turns your Twitter bookmarks into a browsable database sortable by dates, tags, and authors. It's got synthetic sample data right now and lives locally on your computer. On Twitter, you have to have premium to use bookmarks; this is (IMO) an even better, free solution. H/t to this tweet for the idea.
- Poetry Test: Are you able to tell real Shakespeare from AI that sounds like Shakespeare? Take a poetry Turing test here with eight comparisons and see how you do.
- Readtime: This tool tracks how long it'll take to finish a book. I originally linked it with my Goodreads, but for a public tool that won't be possible. Here you can add your book, edit the final page, and then add your reading session stats with how long and how many pages you read. It's local storage only, so feel free to try it out!
