Hackathon - UoM StudentHack
About
I got to take part in a Hackathon with UniCSHackathons! It was an awesome experience and my team were amazing to work with - we created a site where you can choose between 3 versions of real news articles, aimed at primary, secondary and adult ages to learn about current space events! The articles were scraped using puppeteer/cheerio from spacenews.com then stored on a PostgreSQL database using a Django backend, before being sent to Google's Gemini LLM to create the new content. The new articles were displayed with a React and typescript frontend!

Personal 2nd Brain (Brain 2.0)
My personal life and learning OS. ## What It Does - **Library:** Book collection with Goodreads CSV and Kindle sync import, status tracking, ratings, tags, and a dismissed-books recovery view. - **Articles:** Save web articles via a proxy reader, group them, and add notes alongside the source. - **Knowledge Graph:** Interactive concept mapping with ReactFlow - multi-board so different domains stay separate. - **Whiteboard:** Excalidraw canvas for sketching systems, kept alongside the notes they belong to. - **Study Partner (AI):** Context-aware Claude chat with full library awareness, now wired to the Claude Code CLI SDK. - **Dream Diary:** Dream logging with scenes, symbols, and Gemini image generation. Atmosphere toggles (blue vibes, realistic, surreal, dark/moody, warm/golden, custom) modify the prompts sent to Gemini. - **Dancing:** YouTube dance video collection, organised by style. - **Music Making Center:** Live-coded music with Strudel and live-coded visuals with Hydra, in a browser code editor with pattern saving and atmosphere presets. - **Task Board:** Local-first task tracking with pipelines, dependencies, and notes - imported from ClickUp via MCP so I could move off the subscription. - **Health Tracking:** Calisthenics logging (sets, reps, duration), skincare routines, progress photos, measurements, and consistency stats via Chart.js. - **Map with Pins & Photos:** Leaflet + OpenStreetMap with categorised pins (visited, want to visit, lived, favourite), photos and notes per pin, filterable sidebar. - **Dashboard & Import/Export:** Stats and charts across the modules, full JSON backup, and per-module import/export.
