Other than working contract part time for my prior employer (Plunk), I have been continuously working on various personal "passion" projects.

I'll highlight the following, as its the most recent and the one I'm most committed to (https://github.com/niarada/remedy)

This project involves a lot of syntax wrangling with the typescript, and also includes a VSCode language extension. I'm currently experimenting with a re-write of the back end in rust.

One other that might be interesting is (https://github.com/naturalethic/Moxie), a front end to the mox email server, written in Typescript/Solid.

This venture made some earnest but ultimately unsuccessful attempts to trial a seastead in Tahiti, backed by an ERC-20 token. I implemented front and back ends for the web site, including realtime blockchain visibility in support of the initial coin offering.

A hypermedia server, that is, a server-side web framework. This includes a custom language for the templates, that is a simple (but not so simply implemented) combination of Script+HTML. Project involves a lexer/parser, a plugin architecture, and a routing system designed to mesh with HTMX.

This is a SPA front-end to the mox email server, which I use to host my own email. The bundled mox front-end is a bit clunky, so this is an experiment to make it a more user-friendly, while also providing a reason for me to deep-dive into some of the "alternative" frameworks, in this case Solid.
