    Hacked together a service in Go https://github.com/xlab/cdn-s3-go that routes content request to any arbitrary S3-compatible bucket. Some infra providers are offering free egress, but buckets are only private (hello Railway), and not geo-distributed. An L4 balancer will cost a fortune (hello Cloudflare). cdn-s3-go solves this by looking up objects, generating a pre-signed URLs and redirecting the clients directly. Free egress, cheap public geo-distributed CDN!

    deck.gl based visualiser of the TFL Api + National Rails to be able to track (with minimal drift) a train along the way in London and to the nearest airports. If you pick one from any platform in https://nexttrain.london basically you can share your train journey along the rails. Build to test Cloudflare workers and their infra along with deck.gl performance that is incredible in my opinion.

  • I made an iPhone app to show a real-time map of NYC Subway service2024 · apps.apple.com · ▲26

    I previously made a web version of The Weekendest, but when I was laid off from my last job, I decided to take the free time I had to pick up Swift UI, and made a native iOS version of it. The main draw of the app is that the map is dynamically generated based on the current subway routing, so when you open the app on weekends or overnight, you'll see lines correspond to where the trains are actually running, which is a very unique NYC problem. Let me know what you think!
