Par Baked

A weekly never-finished project. Serious builds, silly detours, and honest notes on what AI actually helped with.

We Put a Tiny Platformer on Our Website

We Put a Tiny Platformer on Our Website

We built a browser platformer sidekick for holeaf.uk using DOM elements as platforms, simple collision detection and no game engine. It mostly obeys gravity.

A Tiny Go CLI for Keeping AI Project Work in Order

A Tiny Go CLI for Keeping AI Project Work in Order

Built a small Go CLI and skill file to break project plans into JSON task files, claim the next job automatically, and keep AI sessions focused with less context. A bit less chaos, a bit more progress, which is usually enough.

Geoshitties: Geocities for the AI Era, Whether It Deserves It or Not

Geoshitties: Geocities for the AI Era, Whether It Deserves It or Not

We built an AI-powered website builder prototype inspired by Geocities, using chat-driven planning, draft review, approval before publish, rollback, auth, and site provisioning. It worked, mostly, after a generous serving of agent handoffs, context rot, and human supervision.

The Tiny Server Homepage We Built and Barely Needed

The Tiny Server Homepage We Built and Barely Needed

Built a small homepage for a dev VM to list project folders and trigger VSCode remote deep links. A quick test of a Codex-backed workflow, a simple browser dashboard, and one very real snag with window reuse.

Building a Social Content Planner We Did Not Quite Need

Building a Social Content Planner We Did Not Quite Need

We built a social content planner to test calendar scheduling, draggable overlapping cards, and an infinite canvas for rough campaign planning. The bigger problem was not the UI, but deciding whether a custom tool beat existing posting platforms, which is annoyingly human.

Why We Built an Absurd Shutdown Timer in Electron

Why We Built an Absurd Shutdown Timer in Electron

We built a deliberately overcooked shutdown timer in Electron for Windows and Linux, with a stripped-back final screen, cancel flow, and packaging headaches that taught the real lesson. Slightly silly idea, genuinely useful takeaway.
