Foundit

Date: 2025

Theme: Student App

Building a student app for Stellenbosch. Partnered with a student currently studying there. Leaning into AI hard to build within 2 months. NextJS, TailwindCSS with Supabase. CapacitorJS for native. Very steep learning curve to get native apps published on the respective app stores within a short time frame.

Aero Oats

Date: 2023

Theme: Triathlon Tools

The home of my Triathlon newsletter. First Sveltkit, TailwindCSS and Skeleton project. Lots of little JS calculators and tools. Used RSS to pull in news and my newlstter posts.

Sanele Shange

Theme: Triathlete

Quick Sveltkit site for talented and up and coming triathlete

Product Owner Guide

Date: 2023

Theme: Product Owner

Use Astro framework to build somewhat of an “Indie Hackers” inspired website to help a Product Owner get up to speed with their career. Used AI to write several blog posts but project just parked until I have some more time.

Humphrey & Hunter

Date: 2022

Theme: Dog travel

Back into WordPress to experiment with WooCommerce and dropshipping. Dropshipping is quite difficult in RSA so will go international to get a fully automated solution. Main content of website is around English Springer Spaniel dogs and going on holiday with a dog.

Afternoons Coffeespoons

Date: 2021

Theme: Music Albums

Currently being rebuilt using Sveltkit, TailwindCSS and Skeleton. A JAMStack site using NODE.JS, Eleventy and Netlify. Full build process automated through GITHUB. Still need to add relevant API’s.

Inamandla Contractors

Date: 2020

Theme: Construction Company

Currently a vanilla HTML/CSS website for a local construction company. Have re-written in Svelte but not live yet.

Lisa Clelland Kitchens

Date: 2020

Theme: Kitchen Design Company

Rugby Strat

Date: 2020

Theme: Rugby Game

A fun little vanilla HTML/CSS/JS game

Life Check

Date: 2021

Theme: Time Calculator

More vanilla Javascript but playing with checkboxes. There’s that story about someone asking you to pick up 10 pebbles and then to throw away 1 pebble for every 10 years you’ve lived. What you’re left with is the number of years you have left…so make the most of it!

Time Distance Pace

Date: 2018

Theme: Running Calculator

A website to calculate running time, distance and pace. Built using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I relied on maths to get around my relatively poor coding ability and built a working version in Excel first. I am always wondering “how many minutes per km is a 38min 10km, if I can sustain 3:50/km how fast will my half marathon be”…

Time Till

Date: 2018

Theme: Countdown Calculator

A simple countdown website providing the “time till” various upcoming events. I used Bootstrap 4 along with basic HTML, CSS and Javascript. Introduced some “Applied Visual Design” ideas from FreeCodeCamp – specifically the split complementary colours. Not maintained.

VDB Speed

Date: 2019

Theme: Paddling Pace Calculator

This was built as a tool for paddlers to calculate their pace – similar to timedistancepace.com. This is a simpler version but is slightly difference because it deals with speed(km/h) rather than pace(min/km).

CSS Heart

Date: 2018

Theme: CSS visualisation

A fun small project using CSS and a bit of HTML. I was fascinated that a heart in CSS is effectively 3 squares (well one square with the before and after pseaudo class!). I loved the idea of the three separate elements coming together to form a heart and it felt a bit like a ‘love story’.

Equi Book

Date: 2017

Theme: Equestrian Social Media

(Discontinued) A website aiming to be “Facebook for horse riders”. I used WordPress. I ended up discontinuing this due to the project being way too big for my ability – I got it up and running with the help of WordPress but I was too far removed from the code to be able to do anything meaningful.

eSports Level Up

Date: 2017

Theme: eSports education

(Discontinued) A website aimed at introducing non-techie people to the world of eSorts. I used WordPress. Discontinued as I didn’t know enough about eSports myself and would rather spend the time learning to code than learning about the subject I’m supposed to be an “expert” in.
