Cider is a favorite drink of mine. Over the years I kept a spreadsheet to track the hundreds of different ciders I was trying. Eventually I built this website to track it all more efficiently. It's open for anyone to use, check it out!
Cider NerdDuring the Covid pandemic, my wife's cooking really took off. I noticed a problem though, her recipes were scattered everywhere. Pinterest, old Hello Fresh cards, original recipes in her head, and a few recipes that had even disappeared from Pinterest and were lost to the ether. I solved this problem the best way I knew how. I built her a website that let's her easily upload her recipes and share them with everyone we know. It's a wonderful curation of the food we love.
Tonight's NomsI got tired of browser bookmarks being a disorganized mess and managing search shortcut aliases across devices. SpellBookmarks is a personal dashboard where you can organize bookmarks into collapsible sections and define custom search shortcuts with aliases — type "g cats" to search Google, or "gh nortakales" to jump straight to a GitHub profile. Drag and drop to reorder everything, import your existing browser bookmarks, and access it all from any device.
SpellBookmarksQalc is an interactive calculator that turns any text document into a math processor. Quickly and easily run simple or complex calculations naturally. Lightweight, powerful, simple. Inspired by Numi and Parsify.
VSCode MarketplaceApple gives you almost no stats about your own music library. iTunes Explorer fixes that. Drop in your iTunes Library XML file and instantly see your total play time, top artists and songs, play frequency, skip counts, genre breakdowns, album/EP/single classification, and more — all processed locally in your browser, nothing uploaded anywhere. Generate a shareable image to show off your listening habits.
iTunes ExplorerThis list is a curation of the best, clever, time saving, useful, unique, convenient things I have ever purchased, all in one list. It's like if BuzzFeed gave you a list of things that they actually tried, and were actually useful. I've personally purchased, with my own money, every thing on this list, and would personally recommend everything here.
Nick's ListA nostalgia fueled attempt at raising some money for a good cause and having fun at the same time. The idea is to raise money for each Pokémon I'm able to catch in the Gen1/Gen2 games in the timeframe of 1 year.

There was no fully-featured palette editor on the internet, so I built one that combines features
from many editors. It can edit and convert to/from .gbp and .pal formats.
Quickly invert the colors, or copy the background color to each of the other palettes. Mobile-ready
with a responsive layout.
VSCode extension that provides syntax highlighting for various Flipper Zero file formats like .ir, .sub, .nfc, .rfid, etc.
Hover over a string in any document that represents a date, and get a small preview that converts that date to a configurable set of timezones and formats.
