Recently rebuilt my site on a proper CMS (Payload) and went with a TweetDeck-esque layout 👀

Another oldie but goodie build from the month I moved to NYC - this All City Super Professional (I called her Sparkles) served me well on multiple bike packing trips. Sparkles lives with a family out in Jamestown RI now!

Been on pat leave for the last week and it's given me the time and space to come back to my first love: bikes. Throwback to a special build from 2019 - the trusty Surly Straggler.

Another thing I find myself doing more and more lately – using it to teach me subjects that always felt out of reach. This week it's shaders and WebGL through a visual medium. Still clear as mud but hey gotta start somewhere 😅

Monthly tradeline submission: a visual study... Lately I’ve had agents help me explore wide, hone in, and fine-tune until it feels just right...

What do we call this pattern – is it still "progressive disclosure"???

Yet another useless feature nobody asked for: a button that teaches you to double tap to leave a mark on my photos... 🫆 Interruptible animations ftw! cheweilee.com/photo/15

woah 1,000 page views in two days? Didn't expect that from a screen recording of some paginated columns. Thanks for visiting!

Resizing all columns at once with snapping and elastic min / max bounds.

Telling my daughter when she’s older that we used to sit through HOURS of Blender tutorials making a donut before we attempt to bend polygons by hand like a pleb 🍩

Forgot to mention the best part about using a headless CMS is complete control over the authoring experience 😍

Work gives us $200 a year for education. I spent all of it on a year of Claude Pro. Best decision ever.

Not trying to signal anything about the design process... but here's the full canvas from my redesign. Most of the work happened in the terminal and browser.
