Notes from the workbench

  1. Small tools beat big apps

    Every app I use daily does one thing. Here is why I keep building small, single-purpose tools instead of the all-in-one app I keep planning, and what that taught me about finishing things.

  2. How I built a cel-shaded 3D printer model

    Loading a STEP file in the browser, turning it into a mesh, and getting that flat cartoon look without the edges turning into a jagged mess. What broke, and the two-line fix that saved it.

  1. Found this through a Hack Club channel. The zoom collage is so fun to scroll through, I went back and forth like five times.
