billiegoose I do all sorts of things...

I'm a much better web developer than this site would suggest. 😃
I've just been working on cooler stuff than this site.

What am I working on?

My two latest projects are extraordinary. They're not really ready for release (or even beta testing) but once they are, I'm going to write not just one, but a whole series of blog posts about them.

• esgit A fully working implementation of git in ECMAScript that also happens to work in the browser. (See next item!)
• nde Imagine Atom editor, but completely in client-side browser JavaScript, that you can use to develop your progressive web app. With hot-module reloading. And dynamic module loading (all of npm without the "npm install"). And full file system emulation, git, and Github integration! Oh, and did I mention it's self-hosted (you can edit the editor) and it caches everything offline with service workers?

Prior to that: Bare metal programming!

• Hardware! I got myself a Nandland Go FPGA board. Currently fiddling with I2C and SPI.
• Assembly! Check out the gif of It-boots-but-that's-about-it OS booting and reading a file from disk(ette).
• C! Not technically bare metal, but my dukboot project aims to build a tiny library OS around the duktape JS engine.

Prior to that, I was on a tooling binge. Check out:

• update-readme Auto-generate (and maintain!) your next README file
• create-node-module Refactor your code into lots of small modules, without the friction of set up that would slow you down
• beautify All code looks beautiful, once you've parsed its AST.

These tools are all hovering around the 90% complete stage. I'm saving that last 10% for a rainy weekend.

What else?

• webtorrent-button Supercharge ordinary download links with WebTorrent P2P!
• jus I'm a contributor/maintainer
• marky-markdown I contributed the browserified bundle!
• node-modules.io I maintain a site dedicated to npm alternatives and host my own registry mirror

What about projects from college and earlier?

Do you ever get paid to build websites?

I do! Not all of them are still in existance. However, here are some recent commercial projects I've worked on that I'm proud of:

• American Classical Music Walk of Fame Player is my first Progressive Web App. Offline support, A2HS install banners, media session API for album art.
• Online.Cars search Not originally my design, but I was lead developer for several months including a full rewrite in Vue.

What's your secret master plan?

Elon Musk had one. My parents often wonder, but I do have a plan. (I also have a 5-year plan!)

My plan is to migrate content from https://sites.google.com/site/billiegoose/home over here, since Github is the place to be these days. That's been my plan since 2014 though so don't hold your breath. I should make that part of my 5-year plan.

Meanwhile, perhaps you'd like to peruse some of my code projects over at @billiegoose?
