This is not a clinic portal, and is not associated with any insurance or medical providers. The app is 95% complete, and is entirely usable as is (for any interested beta users). I intend to clean up the…

From the sources
Kate's App is a tool created to support health caregivers and the people they care for. Kate's App helps you share and coordinate health information, securely and efficiently, with attention to privacy, user permissions, and collaboration. Sometimes health care can be overwhelming and needs to be shared. Chronic pain. Fatigue. Discouragement. You can help the people who want to help you. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Offering help is an act of compassion and love. Whether you’re giving or receiving help, caregiving doesn’t have to be a solo effort.

- 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.

Would love to hear your thoughts!
