Made generative art
Worked on a React project
This year I'm participating in Genuary, a generative art challenge with a new prompt each day of January.
My art is over on bsymptote.com. So far I've been using JavaScript with React and Paper.js.

Writing a New API
🚧 WIP 🚧
Custom Twemoji API
P.S. Twemojis are the best emojis and I'm not even that into Twitter
Custom Twemoji API
- Saw an emoji mashup from @EmojiMashupBot that I had to have
- Asked the creator there was a way to export it besides downloading from Twitter; the answer was no
- I looked at existing emoji builders and saw most of them didn't offer too much customization and all of them were web interfaces
- Designed I knew enough about SVGs and APIs to make my own

Designed Icons
Recently updated to Big Sur and in the process learned about Apple's new icon design guidelines. I wanted all my applications to be consistent so I started designing my own.
So far I've uploaded 30 icons to macosicons.com which have gotten over 300 downloads!
