In plain words

Keeps is a service that lets users send physical postcards with embedded voice messages. Users upload a photo, write a message, optionally record a 60-second voice note, and send a 4×6 postcard for $5 including printing and postage. A QR code on the postcard links to a digital card that plays the audio when scanned. No account is required. The service combines the tactile appeal of physical mail with the personal touch of voice messages, handling printing, postage, and delivery automatically.

  • The current sky at your approximate location, as a CSS gradient▲788

    For HTML Day 2025 [1], I made a web service that displays the current sky at your approximate location as a CSS gradient. Colours are simulated on-demand using atmospheric absorption and scattering coefficients. Updates every minute, without the use of client-side JavaScript.
