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

[sourcehut]: https://sr.ht/~amolith/
[forgejo]: https://git.nixnet.services/
[github]: https://github.com/Amolith

All of these projects were created to [scratch an itch.][sai]

## Active projects

These are what I'm currently focusing on.

<details>
    <summary><a href="https://sr.ht/~amolith/willow/">willow</a> (2023-09-21) (Go)</summary>
    <p>
    Tracks software releases across various platforms. Still a work-in-progress
    with bugs major and small, but I've been "dogfooding" it with my all my
    private self-hosted services, everything on <a href="https://nixnet.services">NixNet</a>,
    and the <a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?SeB=m&K=Amolith">
    AUR packages</a> I maintain. It does work and I find it quite useful 🙂
    </p>
</details>

## On hold

There are still things I want to accomplish with this software, but I don't have
enough bandwidth to work on them at the moment.

<details>
    <summary><a href="https://sr.ht/~amolith/earl/">earl</a> (2022-01-01) (Go)</summary>
    <p>
    I take a lot of hand-written notes and wanted a quick way to write down web
    references. I was unsatisfied with all of the current URL shortener
    implementations so I decided to write my own.
    </p>
</details>

## Finished projects

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

<details>
    <summary><a href="https://sr.ht/~amolith/rss2fedi/">rss2fedi</a> (2023-06-01) (Go)</summary>
    <p>
    Looks at a provided RSS feed, converts the HTML to plaintext, truncates to
    100 words, shoves those words into a templated, and posts to fedi. Supports
    authenticating with Akkoma, Pleroma, and Mastodon. Patches for additional
    platforms are welcome.
    </p>
</details>

<details>
    <summary><a href="https://sr.ht/~amolith/opml2md/">opml2md</a> (2023-05-01) (Go)</summary>
    <p>
    Takes an OPML file exported from an RSS reader, turns it into bulleted lists
    of subscriptions (ignoring particular sections if desired), and shoves those
    lists into a templated Markdown file. It's in use on the <a
    href="/feeds">feeds page.</a>
    </p>

<details>
    <summary><a href="https://git.sr.ht/~amolith/p2c/">p2c</a> (2023-04-05) (Go)</summary>
    <p>
    Generates cover images for Hugo sites using the page's frontmatter, the
    site's global config, and file's metadata. It's written in Go and generates
    images using <a href="https://gioui.org">Gio,</a> a cross-platform GUI
    framework. It generates the cover images for most of the pages and posts on
    this site.
    </p>

<details>
    <summary><a href="https://sr.ht/~amolith/go-webring/">go-webring</a> (2021-12-18) (Go)</summary>
    <p>
    This is generalised software for creating and maintaining old-school <a
    href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webring">webrings.</a> It currently
    powers <a href="https://fediring.net">Fediring.net.</a>
    </p>

## Future projects

Tools I want but that I haven't necessarily had time to start on yet

<details>
    <summary>Alternative <a href="https://bond-touch.com/">Bond Touch</a> client/server</summary>
    <p>
    The official app is just an unusable pile of trash. I want to
    reverse-engineer the bracelet's Bluetooth protocol and implement my own
    client/server. Client functionality will be strictly limited to
    sending/receiving touches and matching touch patterns with user-defined
    messages. Server functionality will be strictly limited to transferring
    touches between devices.
    </p>
</details>

## Abandoned projects

Unfinished tools I don't plan to finish.

<details>
    <summary><a href="https://git.sr.ht/~amolith/rarangi">rārangi</a> (2021-10-12) (Go)</summary>
    <p>
    A todo TUI that operates on basic text files. Unfinished items are denoted
    with a - and finished items are denoted with a +. I wanted to try
    <a href="https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea">Bubble Tea</a> but
    decided it was more complicated than I was ready for at the time.
