Custom desktop panel

I've been searching for a reason/excuse to try Clay (and by extension C), and I just realized making a custom Wayland desktop panel (like this Rust-based one) is plausible.

This weekend

Clearer shot of the expanded overhead camera setup. It nees more light. Realized I could use magnets to attach light backing board. Will probably do more experiments with that.Clearer shot of the expanded overhead camera setup. It nees more light. Realized I could use magnets to attach light backing board.

Quote

My new random quote pageMy new random quote page

I built a new little site to serve a random quote I've added to use as my new tab page. There's only like 9 quotes so far but hopefully I'll keep adding.

Along with the garden, this is another little app that runs on my server (digital ocean droplet) alongside it's admin app. Unlike the garden, this one even uses a database instead of flat files (for better or worse).
