Projects

These are a few of my personal side projects that I've spent my time on over the last few years. Some smaller, some a little more involving.


2026

GlintBar

GlintBar

A macOS app that brings Liquid Glass to the Touch Bar and replaces Apple's neglected Control Strip. You can arrange it however you like, with sliders that grow out of their buttons, Now Playing with scrubbing, system stats and app launchers.

Interactive 3D Radio Playground

Radio Playground

As part of redesigning this website, I built an interactive 3D radio playground with special features like spatial audio, day/night scenes, and a smooth handoff to the 2D version on the home page, plus a few fun Easter eggs.

I describe my full process in more detail on my blog.

IntelliPest

IntelliPest

A composer package that enables a better development experience for PestPHP in VS Code, Cursor, Zed, OpenCode and more via a dynamically generated helper file.


2025

Laravel Image Transform URL

Laravel Image Transform URL

A Laravel package that allows you to transform images via URL options. Inspired by Aaron Francis' blog post and Cloudflare Images.

Check out the blog post on Laravel News, super happy that they featured it!


2024

Notifeeder

Notifeeder

A SaaS application for turning RSS feeds into email newsletters. I found it quite interesting to work with the RSS protocol. It's also self-hosted on a VPS via Coolify.

Update December 2025: I've decided to take Notifeeder offline, as it's just been an experiment for me. I wasn't satisfied with the MVP and decided not to continue investing time into it.

Hacker News Clone

Hacker News Clone

A Hacker News clone that I made to my own taste. Clean, modern UI with infinite scrolling and tabs for categories. It uses the Hacker News API and Nuxt Server functions. Besides the comment section being a little buggy, I'm quite satisfied with how it turned out.


2023

Skill Charts

Skill Charts

Charts of my programming skills, made with Mermaid.js. I wanted to practice some more React and build something similar to Nuxt Content, but for Charts. Pretty happy with how it turned out!

Homepage

julian.center

This website! It's a markdown-driven Nuxt project built with Nuxt Content and TailwindCSS. It was initially built with DaisyUI as component library/theming system, but I wasn't quite satisfied with that, so I rewrote the whole project in vanilla Tailwind in early 2025.

1612

1612

An App that sends you a push notification every day at 16:12 (4:12pm). Inspired by Vulfpeck's song 1612.
