Playground

This page lists some experiments done while trying out new technologies.

2020

Image slider example - Using a javascript library to demonstrate some of the fun image manipulation I did to my images with Luminar 4.
Scrolling to control image frame - Recreating a tutorial where scrolling on the page gives the illusion of changing the background.

Dice - I was playing some board games and got sick of throwing dice. So I made a virtual one instead.

Hosting 360 images - Had some 360 degree photos and was exploring the best way to share them.
Mayday - On one of London tube stations, I saw this board that used the song titles to form a coherent paragraph. I created this page so that it’s easy to figure out what those songs are. I used Photoshop to demarcate click-able sections of an image and trigger a video play on click.

Shift cipher visual solver (retired) - Used JQuery and bootstrap to build a simple UI that brute forces all rotation cipher.
7 min workout POC - Used Ractive js and bulma to build a simple 7 minute workout clone. The idea was to keep track of history in local storage.

Collection of recreational puzzles - This is a tiddlywiki notebook with a collection of puzzles that I found over the years.
Base 64 image - Created a simple app to read image data from the clipboard and print out the base64 data of it for copying. Note: This obviously increases the size of the data.
Weather history (Retired) - Used Ractive js, highcharts and bulma to plot graphs comparing weather at a location between two dates. I used Wunderground API which seems deprecated.
Books about town - Put data on a map to centralize the information.
Php note taking app - My first few attempts of capturing notes using a simple php app.
