Projects

Things I'm building and shipping. Some are finished and live, some only run on my own machine, and the useful lessons usually become posts.

for runners

Interval Timer

Set your rounds, your work time and your rest time, then put the phone away. It beeps between each one and keeps the screen awake. Built for run intervals, fine for holding a pose. Add it to your home screen and it runs like an app.
