Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Rob Neely’s personal project shelf collects a GPU audio visualizer, local data tools, a babysitting-credit app, and an offline financial analyzer.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

The project shelf spans GPU graphics, location history, childcare exchange, and personal finance, but applies a consistent local-first constraint: the site says its tools run on the user’s machine and do not phone home. The technical details are unusually concrete, including Metal and Gray–Scott reaction-diffusion for Chladni, DuckDB and Nominatim for whereivebeen, and an inlined HTML report for Quicken Analysis. PlayDateNight is currently marked private beta.
