🗓️ Short Forecast​

A drizzle of the holidays and enough caffeine to get through them and the projects I have been thinking up.

The last few weeks of projects:

• Rebuilding Disney's 10yr old Open Source Program site in React/TS - I'll share this once it's approved for deployment!
• Open Sourcing my Career Walking Site
• Building and open sourcing a Disney name tag template
• Deck building in my backyard

🗓️ Short Forecast​

A heavy down pour of life, learning, experimenting, and looking ahead. The last few week's I've spent reflecting, finding gratitude, and trying to forecast the bets I'm going to be making in the next year.

This week's project:

• Using Kiro AI to build a POC of a learning request platform for my team
• Career walking site
  • Check out the live demo env here.

🗓️ Short Forecast​

A light drizzle of spec-driven development (SDD) with spec-kit, GitHub's Specify project, and how my most recent project has me seeing SDD, and PRDs as a product leader and builder.

GitLab Project: AI Fluency for Teams

Check out the project here:​

AI Text Detector Project

What I built and why I built it:​

A modularized MCP powered Chrome plugin that allows one to right click on text in their browser and choose a couple different options to analyze the text.

I built this tool because I'm starting some graduate studies in the fall and I've heard the submissions are reviewed for AI. I often use AI but don't rely on it and want to assure what I'm writing doesn't get flagged. I've also been interested in using FAST API to build an MCP server, especially with docker. And I believe the best way to learn is to do.

Also, ever wonder if someone uses AI in their social posts? I've wondered the same as a scroll on LinkedIn. This tool lets me check whenever I'm curious. 🤔

Why it matters:​

Many AI validation tools like Grammarly and others require you to copy and paste text into their sites/portals to evaluate it. Personally, the UX flow just isn't great, unless you're having it review large papers. Apple recently came out with "Writing Tools" built into Apple Intelligence in the context menu and it covers typical AI use cases like proofreading, summarization, rewriting, and making the writing sound different (friendly, professional, concise). It doesn't cover use cases for analyzing text for AI drafting like what I was looking for. I often look for tooling that is easy to use, easy to build upon, and easy to customize.
