I love how useful just a few lines of code can be. While I don’t have time outside work to work on big projects, I do enjoy spending a few hours at the weekend rustling something up to solve a problem I’m having. Here’s a selection of some of the projects I’ve made over the years:

Home Assitant Integration: Paprika Recipes

I use Paprika Recipe Manager to manage my recipes and plan meals for the week. I couldn’t find a good way of getting the meal plan into Home Assistant, so I wrote my own Integraton: rbrunt/paprika-ha.

It was fun learning a bit more about how one of my favourite pieces of open source software works under the hood, as well get a bit more hands on with async Python!

Scavenger Hunt

When the pandemic hit and people in the UK weren’t allowed to mix outside our households, I made a scavenger hunt around Oxford for some socially distanced fun. It was a great project to learn a bit more React and experiment with location aware webapps. It’s also the first time I’d tried making a website with a dark mode!

I’m really happy with how it turned out and how well it works. If I have time I’d love to extend it to support multiple puzzles and allow users to submit their own for their cities.

Talks Manager

For my University’s Christian Union, I designed a simple CMS to manage recordings of the events we put on. It lets you group individual talks into series, upload mp3s or a YouTube video, and let others browse through and search for talks.
