Experiments

This is where I experiment with random ideas and technologies. Some of them might go on to become full-fledged projects, some might not.

Car cost comparison

A tool to help compare the cost of buying a new car against the cost of keeping your current car.

Why did I build this?

I couldn't find a tool or spreadsheet that did a decent job of helping me compare the cost of buying a new car against the cost of keeping my current car.

Football score keeper

A simple tool to help keep track of the score in a football match.

Why did I build this?

I was stood at my son's football match and got fed up of keeping score using the Notes app on my phone, so I built a simple tool to do it for me.

UK Renewable Energy Map

A map of current and planned renewable energy generation capacity in the UK.

Why did I build this?

I was interested in seeing how much renewable energy generation capacity is planned or currently in operation in the UK, but I couldn't find a map that showed this information so I built my own.

Times tables game

A game to help children practice maths times tables.

Why did I build this?

While helping my son with his times tables, I couldn't find a game that was quick, fun and engaging so I built a simple one-page web app to do the job.
