Three Projects on GitHub and a Site Update

I’ve made three projects public on GitHub and added a link to my profile in the Tools & Projects section of Garrick.co. I’ve also made a few updates to the tools you can use right from the homepage.

• DeskStat puts system stats, weather, a market watchlist, and world clocks on your Mac desktop. The widgets have a terminal look, and you can pick which ones you want to see. DeskStat on GitHub
• Markdown Editor is a browser editor with a live preview, templates, local drafts, and export. It’s where I can get some writing done without first deciding where to file it. Use the Markdown Editor · View the source
• Mermaid Editor turns Mermaid text into diagrams you can export as SVG or PNG. It has a live preview and templates to get you started. I still hate Microsoft Visio. Use the Mermaid Editor · View the source

The Dashboard got a refresh too. Favorite links now sit just below search, the radio takes up less space, and a compact view folds away the radio and market ticker. On phones, the calendar opens to the current month. When Safari can’t read the audio spectrum, the radio shows simulated bars. I made those bars a little more dramatic than strictly necessary.

The Matrix is still there if you’d rather watch green characters fall down a CRT. Velocity Speedometer, my iPhone and Apple Watch project for motorcycle rides, is listed as coming soon. Browse Tools & Projects

I vibe-coded several of these tools with ChatGPT Codex because I wanted things I’d actually use. I’m technically minded and know a little code, but I’m not a developer. Something I might have spent months tinkering with can now be useful to me in minutes, or a few days if I keep revising it.

I find that both exciting and a little scary. The web already has plenty of AI slop, and being able to ship something quickly doesn’t make it worth shipping. These are simple tools that solve small problems I run into regularly. I’ll keep them free to use, and I’m sharing the source for the public projects so anyone who finds them useful can tinker with them or build something of their own. My GitHub profile
