<h1>billiegoose
<small> I do all sorts of things...</small>
</h1>
<p><strong>I&apos;m a much better web developer than this site would suggest.</strong> &#x1F603;
<br>I&apos;ve just been working on cooler stuff than this site.</p>
<hr>
<h2 id="what-am-i-working-on" class="deep-link"><a href="#what-am-i-working-on">What am I working on?</a></h2>
<p>My two latest projects are extraordinary. They&apos;re not really ready for release (or even beta testing) but once they are, I&apos;m going to write not just one, but a whole series of blog posts about them.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/billiegoose/esgit">esgit</a> A fully working implementation of <code>git</code> in ECMAScript that also happens to work <em>in the browser</em>. (See next item!)</li>
<li><a href="https://nde.now.sh">nde</a> 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 &quot;npm install&quot;). And full file system emulation, git, and Github integration! Oh, and did I mention it&apos;s self-hosted (you can edit the editor) and it caches everything offline with service workers?</li>
</ul>
<p>Prior to that: Bare metal programming!</p>
<ul>
<li>Hardware! I got myself a <a href="https://www.nandland.com/goboard">Nandland Go</a> FPGA board. Currently fiddling with I2C and SPI.</li>
<li>Assembly! Check out the gif of <a href="https://github.com/billiegoose/boots">It-boots-but-that&apos;s-about-it OS</a> booting and reading a file from disk(ette).</li>
<li>C! Not technically bare metal, but my <a href="https://gitlab.com/dukboot/dukboot">dukboot</a> project aims to build a tiny library OS around the <a href="http://duktape.org">duktape</a> JS engine.</li>
</ul>
<p>Prior to that, I was on a tooling binge. Check out:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/update-readme/update-readme">update-readme</a> Auto-generate (and maintain!) your next README file</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/billiegoose/create-node-module#js">create-node-module</a> Refactor your code into lots of small modules, without the friction of set up that would slow you down</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/billiegoose/beautify">beautify</a> All code looks beautiful, once you&apos;ve parsed its AST.</li>
</ul>
<p>These tools are all hovering around the 90% complete stage. I&apos;m saving that last 10% for a rainy weekend.</p>
<h2 id="what-else" class="deep-link"><a href="#what-else">What else?</a></h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/billiegoose/download-with-webtorrent-button">webtorrent-button</a> Supercharge ordinary download links with WebTorrent P2P!</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/jus/jus">jus</a> I&apos;m a contributor/maintainer</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/npm/marky-markdown">marky-markdown</a> I contributed the browserified bundle!</li>
<li><a href="https://node-modules.io">node-modules.io</a> I maintain a site dedicated to npm alternatives and host my own registry mirror</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="what-about-projects-from-college-and-earlier" class="deep-link"><a href="#what-about-projects-from-college-and-earlier">What about projects from college and earlier?</a></h2>
<p>Check out <a href="./projects/">Projects</a>!</p>
<h2 id="do-you-ever-get-paid-to-build-websites" class="deep-link"><a href="#do-you-ever-get-paid-to-build-websites">Do you ever get paid to build websites?</a></h2>
<p>I do! Not all of them are still in existance. However, here are some recent commercial projects I&apos;ve worked on that I&apos;m proud of:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://app.classicalwalkoffame.net/">American Classical Music Walk of Fame Player</a> is my first Progressive Web App.
Offline support, A2HS install banners, media session API for album art.</li>
<li><a href="http://patent.online.cars/">Online.Cars search</a> Not originally my design, but I was lead developer for several months including a full rewrite in Vue.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="whats-your-secret-master-plan" class="deep-link"><a href="#whats-your-secret-master-plan">What&apos;s your secret master plan?</a></h2>
<p>Elon Musk <a href="https://www.tesla.com/blog/secret-tesla-motors-master-plan-just-between-you-and-me">had one</a>.
My parents often wonder, <a href="https://github.com/project-leibniz/master-plan">but I do have a plan</a>.
(I also have a <a href="https://github.com/billiegoose/modload#5-year-plan">5-year plan</a>!)</p>
<hr>
<p>My plan is to migrate content from <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/billiegoose/home">https://sites.google.com/site/billiegoose/home</a> over here, since Github is the place to be these days. That&apos;s been my plan since 2014 though so don&apos;t hold your breath. I should make that part of my 5-year plan.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, perhaps you&apos;d like to peruse some of my code projects over at <a href="https://github.com/billiegoose">@billiegoose</a>?</p>
