Making things.
Figuring things out.
Websites, tools and experiments with AI. Some are live, others are still taking shape. Each one starts with a question and gets better through use.
SELECTED WORK / PROJECTS & EXPERIMENTS 2026 ~ now
A standalone particle-type experiment extracted from a website project, exploring text sampling, fluid motion, inertial tilt and a natural return to rest.
ROLE
Interaction design · Parameter tuning · Development with AI
DELIVERABLE
A Three.js / Vite demo, implementation notes and an open-source GitHub repository.
NEXT
Completed and open-sourced as a reusable starting point for future visual experiments.
Many educational YouTube videos have no extractable subtitles, making their content harder to use with AI for notes and study.
ROLE
Problem discovery · Product design · Development with AI
DELIVERABLE
A Chrome extension and local helper. It extracts existing subtitles or transcribes locally with Whisper, then exports MD, SRT, TXT or JSON.
NEXT
Completed and open-sourced. Currently available for macOS, with installation instructions in the repository.
Started with over 100 student enquiries: moving from abundant study advice to a path a student can actually begin.
ROLE
Creator · Open-source maintainer
DELIVERABLE
An open-source repository with prompts, rules, templates and anonymised cases.
NEXT
Archived. Further work will depend on a new question worth investigating.
A personal website as a lasting home for writing, projects and evidence of the work behind them.
ROLE
Requirements · Information architecture · Development with AI
DELIVERABLE
ansyn.me and an access point for mainland China.

Keep documenting projects and reflections over time.
Community project information is scattered across chats. Activities, tasks and progress rely on manual updates.
ROLE
Workflow design · Information structure · Exploring uses for AI
DELIVERABLE
A V0 Feishu Bitable workspace, workflow diagrams and a list of possible uses for AI.
NEXT
Trial it in a real community and record maintenance time and feedback.
Community members need personal websites, but the path from requirements to launch needs a clearer process.
ROLE
Requirements · Information architecture · Development with AI · Revisions
DELIVERABLE
Personal websites for community members, currently in progress.
NEXT
Complete revisions and launch, then document feedback from the people using them.
Useful ideas in community digests are easily lost when they stay inside the chat.
ROLE
Synthesis · Content adaptation · Distribution experiments
DELIVERABLE
Adapted content from community digests, with work ongoing.
NEXT
Test distribution beyond the community and record readership and feedback.
