Some fun side projects i've worked on over the years. Sad to think of the ones i don't have any artifacts from.

how on earth has apple still not shipped an actual smart thing behind siri? "Sorry i dont understand" is not something a product should be saying in 2026

Were these even real or is this just a collective fever dream

The mod system is a good example of the software factory way of building software. I don't actually know (or want to dictate) what will make a good mod system since i don't know what people want to do ahead of time, so instead I just grow one based on what people are trying to do.

First thing to do is make sure that everything that happens is legible to the agent: Log out all the mod prompts, transcripts, screenshots, feedback to a place where an agent can see them.

Second set up a bot to watch those logs and look out for poor results: Long generation times, unnecessary work, repeated followups or frustration

That bot can either put up PRs to review, or in this case just merge them for me. Once the loop is set up and dialed in a bit, the system just trends toward getting better as people use it

In 2004 Greasemonkey let you write js mods to any website. At Palm in 2008 i had a demo to let you mod any webOS app but couldn't ship it. This idea of modifying apps at runtime has always been stuck in my head.

Now you can just speak and alter the digital world around you.
