Projectfolio
I’ve got plenty of side projects that range from small experiments, helpful little tools, to learning aids for new languages or frameworks. Once in a while they grow into something of their own that I want to share, or at the least showcase. This list, while certainly not exhaustive, is a small showcase of those projects that I’m most proud of or get a lot of value out of daily.
Most of the projects listed here are not “finished” and many are in a state of maintenance or hibernation, but I still found the experience, lessons and ideas from them fulfilling.
