2020

[WIP] An application for keeping track of the games you've played, with whom, and your respective scores. Like recording your games in a note, but with the prospect of rich data visualization and exploration on the horizon.

The idea is that you would eventually build up a rich dataset for yourself which could be used to, for example: compare your record specifically against certain opponents; or extract nerdy insights like whether you play better at morning or at night; or track your improvement in a certain game over time.

2018

[WIP, sorta] Interactive exploration of song lyrics, by the numbers. Pick an artist and explore how frequently their songs incorporate certain words, themes, and ideas — and how those things change over time.
