Here are a few smaller apps I’ve put up that I think are fun:

• Nine Houses Quiz: This is an interactive Svelte version of a quiz created by the author of the popular Locked Tomb book series. I shared it on social media and it has been taken well over a thousand times.
• Word Clock: This is a JavaScript port of an Apple II app that displays the time using words. I translated the original 6502 assembly to run on the modern web because emulated versions of the app tend to fall out of sync with the actual time. Bonus: here is a test page that renders every possible state of the clock.
• Patreon Comments Tracker: When a webcomic that I follow was going through a major new plot development, I built a scraper and a data table that could sort posts from Patreon by the number of comments and likes that they received to track the amount of activity that was being generated. This was used by the author for reference, since apparently not even he can could sort posts this way using Patreon’s tools. This uses the excellent serverless deployment platform val.town and no client-side JavaScript.
• Corn Simulator: This is a website that simulates the experience of eating an ear of corn one kernel at a time. I made the corn model in Blender and set it up like a simple game using three.js and WebGL. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
