until.dev

2024

until is a new funding model for open-source software that makes it possible for small and medium-sized projects to receive ad hoc funding in the form of reverse-bounties.

Library users can create bounties to incentivise the development of features, bug fixes, and documentation. When users donate to a bounty, they can set an expiry date after which they will automatically receive a refund. Library maintainers can claim the bounty by completing the work and submitting an approval request to fundbit.

I think until could potentially solve the funding problem for open-source. It's not in active development any more, but I still love the concept.

The project launched in 2024 but has since been shut down.

Continuum

2023 - 2024

Continuum is a minimal iOS app and widget that shows you the % of your day that has passed and the % of your day that is left.

I built it as a way to learn SwiftUI and as a simple reminder to myself that I have more time in my day than I realise, and that I can make use of it.

pints.wtf (now pints.club)

April 2019 - 2021

Pints.wtf is a viral website that ranks drinks in Wetherspoons pubs by their value for alcohol.

It's been used by over 100K users since its launch and was featured in The Tab, The Daily Mail, The Sun, The Mirror, BBC Radio, and LADBible.

To make it, I reverse-engineered the Wetherspoons app to access drink price data, and used a simple Flask server to calculate the ranking (unit alcohol per GBP) for any given pub.

Sadly, in 2021 I forgot to update my expired credit card info on the domain registrar and the site was unjustly sold on auction. To this day, I am still bitter about that (2021 - Present).

I rebuilt the site with Next.js and tRPC in 2023 and relaunched the website at pints.club.
