Fractaled Mind

Believe it or not, I don’t only work on or write about SQLite, and today I want to share a simple pattern for role management in Rails inspired by the rolify gem.

Building HTML UI forced me to figure out how to write reusable CSS classes that play nice with Tailwind.

On September 23rd, 2025, in a Berlin hospital room, I became a dad.

I spent way too long getting the animations right for my dialog post.

Campsite has some of my favorite UI styling on the web.

Turbo’s data-turbo-confirm attribute is convenient for quick confirmation dialogs, but the native confirm() prompt it triggers looks dated and out of place.

I was building a form with a file input.

After some experimentation, research, and AI being stupid, I finally have a simple, clean implementation of a star rating component that uses only radio inputs and labels and allows for half steps. 50 lines of beautiful CSS.

I spent a bit of time this morning make some improvements to sqlite.directory, and I found myself needing to make a number of fixes around the mobile responsiveness of the UI.

After the initial launch of sqlite.directory, I have been working on a few updates to the site.
