Deru's Book of Made-Up Facts

Visit Deru's Book of Made-Up Facts!

A blog for my family to post random crazy things to. Made with Sveltekit and Sanity CMS. This is the first project I made with Sveltekit, and also the first thing I made with any sort of back end.

A screenshot of the wacky blog I made, Deru's Book of Made-Up Facts — A screenshot of the wacky blog I made for my family.

None of my projects needed sync or anything before, so I could get away with just using localStorage or sessionStorage. There's Sanity for a CMS, and then two serverless functions for contact and subscribing to the newsletter.

The site includes the aforementioned blog, as well as a dictionary for made-up words or made-up definitions or both. I also made a whole fake store where you can't buy anything. It lists somewhat absurd products that my family and I made up.

I also made all of the icons for the site myself, including the incredibly uninspired logo. A real feather in my cap, that one.

Something Good Today

Another SvelteKit project, this time with Firebase integration for accounts. It's an activity tracker I made mostly for myself, so I could track if I did something I felt good about every day (hence the overly generic name).

New tab extension

I made a Chrome new tab extension because I wanted to be able to put as many links as I wanted on my new tab page. It also has a basic notepad, shows the weather using OpenMeteo and NOAA data, and has Todoist integration (you have to supply your own Todoist API key if you want that to work, though). It's not published as an extension, but I might do so in the future.

Cube Timer

I made a timer for speedcubing. This was the first project I made with regular Javascript and manipulating the DOM and stuff. I would say it looks boring at best, because I was terrible at CSS at the time. I was also trying to cram way too much stuff on to the screen at once, especially for mobile.
