George's Project Timeline

Stunt Double

Built Stunt Double, a memory game for iPad where the deck is AI-drawn cartoon doubles of the players themselves. Snap a selfie, get six cartoon stunt doubles, then flip and match — 2–6 players around one iPad, plus a solo Brain Training mode.

Experiment with Hot Takes

A way of visualizing predictions made and possible future scenarios discussed on a podcast.

Hot Takes #1 — Dylan Patel — Two labs will soon control most of the world's workforce

Theremin: Abandon Dabble

Back in January 2024 I started playing around with the idea of a virtual theremin — enough to get a dabble up and running.

Then on August 19th this Hacker News post turned up: Air Theremin, a browser theremin you play by waving at your webcam. It was so well done that I didn't feel compelled to continue.

Beeb

Made Beeb, a daily color block puzzle for the web — place every piece on a board of colored blocks so colors meet corner-to-corner and never edge-to-edge, with one challenging board a day and shareable results.

Pepakura Set

Shipped Pepakura Set, a 3D matching puzzle for iPhone & iPad. Find two pieces whose faces share a pattern, pair them up to fuse them into one, and keep going until a low-poly sculpture stands whole — match · fuse · build.

No sign-in, no tracking, fully offline — and there's a playable demo right on the web landing page.

Goal Board: TypeScript/React Migration

Rebuilt Goal Board — the goal-focused browser extension that's been live since May 2018 — on a modern TypeScript and React stack.

Same extension on Chrome and Edge, now with a type-safe, component-driven codebase that makes new features far faster to ship.

Habibi

Made Habibi, a daily block puzzle for the web — one solvable clear-the-board puzzle a day, matched to your skill level by a calibrating rating, with shareable results.

Personal Reflection — This game is not very good. The puzzles are not sufficiently challenging.

VertiTool

Launched VertiTool, a Chrome extension that surfaces tools built specifically for the site you're on — land on a page and the right purpose-built tools are already waiting in your toolbar.

Available on the Chrome Web Store.

Tic Tic Boom

Built Tic Tic Boom, a macOS menu bar app that helps you stop touching your face or playing with your hair. It watches through your webcam, notices when a hand drifts toward your face, and alerts you in real time so you can break the habit.

Processing is 100% on-device — no video ever leaves your computer.

Many Hands

Released Many Hands for iOS and Android — organize your team, schedule site visits, and keep everyone on the same page, from the field to the office.

Many Hands runs my partner's gardening business.

Instantly Anon

Shipped Instantly Anon, an iOS app that blurs faces in with one tap. 100% on-device processing — no data ever leaves your phone. Uses on-device machine learning to better blur faces in photos and videos.

Camera Roll Recap

Launched Camera Roll Recap, an iOS app that turns your camera roll photos into a lively recap to share with friends and family.

Claude Code Era Begins

George began using Claude code. A new era begins.
