What it does
InkStory is more than just a mobile app – it's a gateway to a new dimension of personal expression. It's not just about preserving memories; it's about feeling them resonate through your very skin.
Carry the sound behind your tattoo — a voice, a song, a moment. Design a tattoo from audio, find an artist in a directory of 1,300+ studios worldwide, then scan the finished ink to hear it play back.
The meaning of a tattoo rarely fits into its shape. Keep the rest of it with you. Tattoos have always carried what we can’t say out loud — a person, a moment, a feeling we couldn’t explain even if we tried. But memory thins. Faces blur. The way something felt gets harder to find every year. InkStory exists because the tattoo shouldn’t be the only thing that lasts. The piece of the memory you’re afraid to lose — the part only you know is there — can live inside it. Quiet, private, yours for as long as the tattoo is. Bring a recording of something that matters to you. See what shape it makes. Take it to your artist when you’re ready. Hundreds of studios in the directory, each with a verified…from inkstory.app

- IAInkwash, a watercolor sketching app and explanationJun 2026 · johnowhitaker.github.io · ▲250
I've made a drawing app based on my physical sketching practice, using fluid sim and some shader tricks to mimic watercolor-style ink washes. Best used on iPad or with a drawing tablet. The linked article shows how the core engine works, with plenty of little interactive demos. It was fun to make, sharing in hopes others find it fun too :)

- TITetris in a PDF▲1,289
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…

21st.dev▲1,211I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!
