Tools by Uri O'Callaghan 26 built

A running index of everything I've built and actually finished. Small, opinionated tools — maps, typefaces, music, weather, embroidery — most of them shipped in a weekend to solve a problem I had exactly once.

I keep forgetting they exist. So here they all are, in one place.
