Tweet Tweaks

Tweet Tweaks is a userscript to inject quality-of-life modifications and customization options into the TweetDeck user interface for Twitter, such as custom column widths, retweeted post styling, and a tweet bookmark system. Utilizes Promises and MutationObservers to cleanly handle asynchronous resource loading and DOM content modification. Created in response to common pain points experienced by myself and friends while using the TweetDeck UI.

Parametric Keyboard Case

Parametrically generated 3D model for a mechanical keyboard case from a custom layout in the community-standard format generated by keyboard-layout-editor.com. The parametric model was created using OpenSCAD. An interactive shell script facilitates the format conversion and allows the modification of common parameters. Created to allow easy creation of 3D-printable cases for custom keyboard layouts.

Interviewed researchers and software advocates from all over the world, including at Mozilla Festival 2016, to elicit design requirements and prioritize feature implementation.

FUSS

Faokryn's Universal Styling System, or "FUSS", is a front-end framework and component library that was implemented as an exercise in better understanding techniques and best-practices utilized by popular front end frameworks, and to experiment with the Web Components standard's custom element creation system.
