Announcing Small Sounds - A Sound Effects DSL
I didn't want to upload lots of different mp3 files. Instead I wanted to generate short simple sound effect client side. This is the result.
Top Artifacts
Making artifacts, whilst building a toolbox.
- ASCII Tree - Instant 'ASCII Tree' from a file/folder collection
- LCARS - A Star Trek TNG User Interface
- Small Sounds - A compact mini-language for foley sounds
Safer Centaurs
I build small tools with AI assistance and write about the process. Announcements are finished work. Spike solutions are work in progress.

symbols and putting them together to make a tree pattern is fiddly and takes time - a perfect challenge for a small tool. Claude one-shotted it with a single prompt.

The LCARS user interface from Star Trek TNG actually has some desirable properties as a user interface.
Work in Progress - Morphing Graphs
Making a Bar Chart morph into a Stream Graph; Making a visual correspondence between Heat Map and Sankey Flow. We can unify bar charts, heat maps and Sankey flows, treating Sankey as the unifying visual metaphor.
Work in Progress - End Shapes
AIs struggle with understanding shapes. Here I got Claude to make tags with the end shapes I wanted.
Work in Progress - Martian Base
Cards are a fundamental part of the big diagram making code project I am working on. Here a spike solution begins to rework the card ideas, via a clicker-style Mars-base game.
This spike solution exploration is also part of exploring visual ways to track resource exchanges. The code co-produced with AI is a small step in progressing a card based dashboard.
