Hidden Current.
Just shippedAI has an environmental cost. Nobody shows it to you. This gives you an idea.
Every Claude response costs something. Electricity. Water. Real resources, consumed at scale, every time you hit send.
Hidden Current shows you. A per-response reading, right there inline. A running total for the day, the week, all time. Nothing leaves your browser. No account. No fuss.
It’s not here to make you feel bad. It’s here because the information exists and you deserve to have it.
Tiny Wave.
Draw SVG audiowaves with your voice.
What started as a potential library of waveforms, specifically for audio base designs. Turn into a self creating resource.
I wanted to give people the sense of creation rather than just copying. That and I hated the idea of seeing the same soundwaves over and over again.
Utilising browser APIs to gain access to your microphone you can now create the waves yourself. Making them available as SVGs, for copy and paste or download. All offline. Not data sent or stored.
Madebyhumans.
An open art piece, based on turning up.
Born from an interest in collective presence, and representation based on impact rather than numbers.
Here I utilise Flow Fields to show that someone is or was here. Each day utilising a different algorithm to determine opacity, thickness and angle. All taken from basic information that the browsers sends me.
At the end of the day fossilising as an image or SVG for export. Some days there is little, somedays there is a lot. But everyone contributes.
When to work.
Find the overlap. Work together better.
Working remotely with people around the world timezones and schedules become an issue.
Converting is cumbersome, sharing schedules comes with a host of privacy concerns, and reading them even more so.
When.to.work takes a different approach by ploting time horizontally. Finding time to work together requires looking down the line, to choose the best time to work.
Good Boy.
A Figma plugin that randomly comments low effort praise on your designs.
Tired of seeing generic design feedback on social media. I built a Figma plugin to add it to designs automatically.
Part social commentary, part satire. I enjoyed playing with the fragility of a designers mind. The to a frow of being confident in their work whilst at the same time worried about reaction.
Install it and watch as it regularly adds frivolous comments to your work.
Sketch QR.
Create and insert SVG QR codes in Sketch. Free.
Born out of the annoyance of predatory pricing modals for QR codes. This simple plugin allows for instant insert of a QR code within Sketch.
With option for dimensions, padding, and colour. These QR codes are permanent.
Glyph Palette.
Search and insert 10,000+ icons. Officially recognised by Sketch.
Sketch lacked a modern icon plugin. So here it is. Over 10,000 icons. With multiple styles and sizes available.
Utilising Iconify to deliver raw SVG assets. With Flexsearch added to make it easier to find what you need.
Continual updates to include a some of the most popular icons sets available today. Officially recognised by Sketch.
Is Figma Down.
It's always down. You just don't know it yet.
During the great AWS blackout. Most of the internets tools went offline. It become evident that we are over reliant of always being online, always connected.
As a satirical act I purchased the domain, isfigmadown.com and threw up a splash page that mimiced that of Figmas.
Instead pointing to use tools that didn’t require an always on connection.
Sketch Today.
Everything you need when you come back to Sketch.
Tired of performance issues of Figma. I decided to give Sketch another try. One of the main issues I faced was finding up to date resources.
Instead of being frustrated in my search I started to create my own. What started as a Tailwind color palette, then moved on to icons, and plugins.
This is a continually updated resource for those looking to make the switch.
Solidarity.
Makes everyone on LinkedIn #opentowork. Everyone.
Designed to soften the blow of looking for work on LinkedIn. This browser extension shows everyone on LinkedIn with the #opentowork noose around their avatar.
Sometimes the worst thing is to see others in a position that you are not. Even though it’s sudo it aims to create solidarity.
We are all crawling through something might as well make it appear that we are all in the same spot.
Dad Reply.
Reply to emails rapidly, and like your Dad.
An extension that simply adds a “dad reply” button to gmail. When clicked automatically composes and sends a thumbs up emoji.
Built in less that an hour. As a convenient tool to reply quickly to emails that only needed acknowledgement. Submitted to Product Hunt as a joke, hit no 4 for the day, and featured in the daily email.
Extended beyond that to allow for customisations, to integrate with automated emails send by github, saleforce etc.
