Experiments

Personal projects

I like to build things, either out of interest or to try and learn a new skill in the process. Here are a few things I’ve built for myself, or for friends.


The book club

I built a digital bookshelf to track what our book club reads. Instead of a flat list with star ratings, each book sits spine-out, with its height and width set by its page count.

Tillsammans

Tillsammans is a movie club app for me and my partner that was mainly built for one reason: to answer the question “What should we watch tonight?”.

But it was also a way to scratch an itch that’s been on both my partner’s and my mind: what if you had multiple ways to rate a movie?

Tillsammans uses three different ratings: expectation rating, after watching, and 2 weeks later.

Maxi Yatzy

Yatzy is probably one of the games that I’ve played the most. It’s something we always bring on vacation, or to the pub to play with friends. But it’s a hassle to bring pen and paper, and I didn’t like any of the existing yatzy apps out there. So I created one, where we could track history and adapt the settings to how we like to play.

Badminton, kul motion

Every week, my friends and I meet up and play Badminton. To keep track of standings etc. I created a small little tracker with leaderboards and individual stats.
