A resource for regulators and product managers to minimize digital harms
This is a messy and incomplete set of artifacts of things I’ve done, things I’ve made, and things I’ve played around with.
Most projects and ideas I’ve tinkered with are half-baked, unlikely to ever be used, and in various states of disrepair. I’m still thankful for them, so in that spirit, I rarely take things off of this page, instead I just hide old projects by default.
If you’re curious to learn more about one of these projects, want the source code, or have an idea or comment, I’d love to hear from you.
