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.
earl (2022-01-01) (Go)
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.
## 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.

p2c (2023-04-05) (Go)
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 Gio, a cross-platform GUI
framework. It generates the cover images for most of the pages and posts on
this site.
go-webring (2021-12-18) (Go)
This is generalised software for creating and maintaining old-school webrings. It currently
powers Fediring.net.
## Future projects
Tools I want but that I haven't necessarily had time to start on yet
Alternative Bond Touch client/server
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.
## Abandoned projects
Unfinished tools I don't plan to finish
rārangi (2021-10-12) (Go)
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
Bubble Tea but
decided it was more complicated than I was ready for at the time.
