Experiments
Some of the things I've made, which you might find useful.
Bear in mind, they are experiments: they may not always work as intended. If you spot something that's not quite right or if you'd like to know more - you can drop me a line. A quick and easy Hangman implementation, with customisable words and Wiki links. Built to test out pico.css. This page is powered by a stylesheet exactly 1 kilobyte in size: 1kb.css A worksheet to guide students through a new word - complete with definitions, etymology, and activities Built with the help of GPT-3.5, it's an easily printable HTML file, but can have occasional errors. Check back weekly for a new word! Generate a random line from Shakespeare's complete works, or get all the lines for any given character. Limited for now, but more functionality to follow... Built from a modified version of Shakespeare.json, which is still a little janky. Harness the power of LLMs to create quick and beautiful worksheets. Pick a topic, set your parameters, and let the AI do the rest. Produces a printable worksheet with a range of tasks in seconds. You will need an API key to use it. Code broken? Get some guidance, and learn in the process. This site takes code and offers advice on how to fix it: both from ChatGPT and Stack Overflow. Pedagogy is elucidated here. You will need an API key to use it. Short episodes answering big questions. This is a brief collection of essay readings in podcast form; originally recorded to support A-Level Literature students during lockdown. More to follow, once I've found somewhere quiet to record. Great books, out of copyright, in Kindle and eReader format Tracking down the right ePub files can be a pain. Here's my repository of classic texts for you to browse. Only possible thanks to Project Gutenberg. Infinite Flambards, with GPT-3.5. This site generates endless stories in the style of K. M. Peyton's series. Tweak the tragic, pastoral, and aeronautical elements. Also includes an illustration generator. You will need an API key to use it. This silly little page challenges you to spot the AI-generated verses amongst the Shakespearean couplets. AI verses from ChatGPT, real verses presented using Sam Dutton's SonnetSearch Generate new adventurers with GPT. This little experiment creates playable characters for tabletop RPGs (Dungeon-based or otherwise) complete with backstories, hidden secrets and character portraits. You will need an API key to use it. Random questlines for your favourite RPG, courtesy of Claude. Take off your cloak, warm up by the fire, and hear the strange happenings of these parts. Listen to the rumours, then plot your next steps. Pairs nicely with the D&D character generator. Find out the Wet-Bulb Temperature where you are. This app will tell you if the combination of heat and humidity will reach dangerous levels in your location, or any other city. This is my first foray into self-hosting a web app, so it may fall over! Learn more about Wet-Bulb Temperatures here. A simple wrapper for GPT-3.5, built on pure JavaScript. It is a testbed for future GPT-powered projects, and currently offers no more functionality than the native OpenAI site. You will need an API key to use it. Another pure JS wrapper, this time for Anthropic's Claude bot. This is a substantially more advanced interface, allowing users to upload large text files and discuss them with the LLM. You will need an API key to use it. Turn a stream-of-consciousness into something intelligible. This Shortcut for Mac uses GPT-3.5 to sanitise dictated input, generally to pretty good effect. You will need an API key to use it. Block distracting apps, not just notifications This Shortcut tries to make the built-in 'Focus' mode a little more effective. Once activated, it blocks any apps you deem to be distracting. A bit janky, but mostly functional. The best way to learn is by playing, and this is my sandpit. Having started learning some very rudimentary Javascript, I'm attempting to apply that knowledge in an HTML capacity. This is a living exercise book (to continue mixing metaphors). A very simple platform to display slides. This is resolutely a work-in-progress. Hopefully, I'll be able to use it to host slides to live in the resources section of the site at some point. Until then, it's just a pretty demo.💡 Latest 🆕
