Built with Claude Code. See how these projects were built for what that means in practice.

A projects page that only lists successes is a portfolio, not a record. These are the things that are paused, partial, or no longer running — listed because leaving them out would make the rest look more inevitable than it was.

WheyWizard — paused, still being designed

An indie game. Still in the design stage, and paused rather than dropped — I come back to it. Nothing has been implemented that would be worth writing up yet, which is itself the honest status: it is a design I am still arguing with rather than a codebase I am neglecting.

Filed alongside it in the ideas list: a second original game concept, and a "remix" approach where I rebuild the logic and flow of a game I already like as a foundation, then take it somewhere of my own. The targets there are the obvious formative ones — a shooter, a JRPG, an action RPG, a deckbuilder.

A patched window manager — in daily use

I run a tiling window manager with a dwindle layout patched in myself, built from source. It is not a project so much as a modification, but it is real work and it is what I actually use every day, so it belongs on the record rather than being quietly enjoyed.

One trap from it worth writing down: the monitor binding uses the window manager's own monitor index, ordered by physical position, not the display number Windows reports. They disagree, and the failure is windows opening on the wrong screen with no error. Always query the actual monitor list after any display change rather than assuming the numbers match.

Dormant

Three projects that are not running and not currently being worked on. Dormant is distinct from abandoned — the code exists and the reasons for each were good at the time.

• A job queue — superseded before it earned its keep.
• An earlier speech server — kept as a fallback after the current one proved better in blind comparison, then eventually left idle. It still works.
• An image project — shelved.

Also here, but not mine

A couple of things in my working directories are other people's open-source work that I use rather than build: a terminal hardware monitor, and the upstream window manager above before my patch. I mention them only so that anyone browsing the machine does not mistake them for my projects. Credit where it is due; they are good tools.
