I like to code (mostly using Javascript/Typescript and CSS,
occasionally wrangling SQL). It started as a hobby, then it became
my profession. I usually build user interfaces for startups.
Below are a few side projects and experiments of mine.
These projects are open-source on
GitHub. If you use one of them, feel free to
become a Sponsor.
As they got stars and forks, a network emerged, so I made another
little project to
visualize it.
I am passionate about model-driven architecture (usually found in
no-code/low-code platforms, code generators, and complex data
visualizations), and more specifically model-driven UIs.
Working on a model-driven project is basically doing the automation
of my own craft. I find it especially rewarding because, beyond the
efficiency, it provides a unique feedback loop that helps me better
understand structures and patterns in UX, in software architecture,
and in my own thinking.
Naturally, for many years, my biggest side project was a
model-driven framework (front
and
back
ends) to build applications with models rather than code. It
generates UI views (list, cards, edit, browse, dashboard...) and API
end-points at run-time to display and mutate objects of different
data structures based on a single model per entity. I called it
"Evolutility", which in Biology, means "the ability to change form,
volume, and structure as a result of nutrition". TLTR,
my thoughts on the topic.
My favorite
quote about programming
is:
"Smart data structures and dumb code works a lot better than
the other way around."
- Eric S. Raymond.
