Hey there! I've been coding websites since I was ten years old. I got my start in Geocities and leveled up to making webpages on Neopets. Lately I've become frustrated by the proliferation of algorithms to keep people engaged. It feels like the web has turned into a casino and its sole purpose is to farm clicks and reactions. I want to build the web that I grew up with. The web that was mysterious and interesting. I want to build apps for people. Not for metrics. Not for engagement loops. Not for the algorithm.

The /r/stainedglass community was looking for a place to store and categorize their stained-glass patterns so that they would be easy to find for people of all levels. This site was particularly fun because it has a way to log in and mark patterns as "favorite" and "done" so you could keep track of which ones you like the best.
My work was running a backlog refinement session, and we couldn't find a solution online that wasn't riddled with ads or required an account. So I spun this up over the weekend using a fun Windows XP theme.
Totally optional, but if you like what we're doing, send me a coffee over at Ko-fi!
