10Most of my projects are hosted on [Sourcehut,][sourcehut] but some of my older
11projects can also be found on [NixNet's Forgejo instance.][forgejo] I do have a
12[Github account,][github] but I don't actually host any projects on it as I
13prefer more open platforms.

30    I take a lot of hand-written notes and wanted a quick way to write down web
31    references. I was unsatisfied with all of the current URL shortener
32    implementations so I decided to write my own.

36## Finished projects
37
38These are projects that I consider ["finished".][finished] I might fix the
39occasional bug, but they meet my needs as they are and I will not be adding
40major swaths of code to introduce new features.

60    The official app is just an unusable pile of trash. I want to
61    reverse-engineer the bracelet's Bluetooth protocol and implement my own
62    client/server. Client functionality will be strictly limited to
63    sending/receiving touches and matching touch patterns with user-defined
64    messages. Server functionality will be strictly limited to transferring
65    touches between devices.

76    A todo TUI that operates on basic text files. Unfinished items are denoted
77    with a - and finished items are denoted with a +. I wanted to try
78    <a href="https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea">Bubble Tea</a> but
79    decided it was more complicated than I was ready for at the time.
