The Jackplot - A slot machine for story premises.

The Jackplot is a random story premise generator. It requires no login or account to use, but if you do log in with a simple email address (it sends a "magic link") you can save the premises you spin up, to refer back to them or download them later. It does a couple things under the hood to weight against individual results on each wheel as you spin (just during that browser session), but it never "eliminate" a word. You can also lock the wheels if you only want to "re-spin" one or two.

2 Dads 1 Movie - Remembering the movies of the '80s and '90s

Early this year, my childhood friend and I started a podcast revisiting the movies of our youth (the '80s and '90s), called 2 Dads 1 Movie. This past weekend, I finally launched the website that goes along with it. Completely bespoke, with a ton of info about our episodes and the films we cover. Ruby 3, Rails 8 under the hood, along with the usual suspects: Postgres, Redis, Sidekiq, etc. Lots to explore, fun stats, links to transcripts, the whole nine yards.
