Building Cover Craft analytics into a lightweight observability loop that tracks image generation, latency, accessibility, UI usage, and structured backend behavior.
Making Cover Craft accessibility part of the image generation contract by enforcing WCAG contrast rules, shared validation, safe random colors, and stable analytics payloads.
Analyzing the impact of compile-time HTML minification as a static blog grows to over 240 posts, measuring build speeds, raw byte savings, and network packet reductions.
Turning Echo from an MCP-only memory server into a dual-interface local tool with agent workflows, CLI inspection, shared services, and direct maintenance paths for humans.
A mid-level developer retrospective on shifting Echo memory deletion from content matching to ID-based operations to ensure AI tools target database rows with no ambiguity.
Fixing DuckDB file locks in Echo by replacing the startup connection with on-demand database sessions that open, sync, query, and close during each analytics request.
Adding local FinOps and Knowledge ROI analytics to Echo so persistent memory can measure cost, hit rate, carbon estimates, and low-signal context before quality drifts.
Rebuilding a Linktree-style Vue project as a Go static site generator to reduce npm maintenance, simplify builds, and learn Go through a small real-world publishing tool.
Building an MCP server with Go and SQLite to give AI agents scoped, local-first memory, reduce repeated context setup, and keep project decisions available in CLI sessions.
