for the subscribe menus, I'm using variable type for a neat hover effect

taking the time to isolate a few details from the work I've done on the DN and AFK sites recently.

obsessed with this apparent note at the start of a book I found on archive.org

here's what I mean with the list: inspired by material expressive lists, the shape treatment suggests one list rather than a series of discrete cards.

Liam Spradlin @iamli.am · 21/02/2026

wait, I almost forgot! the site now has picture-in-picture support (on Chrome at least) so when you navigate away from the tab you can still control the audio!

Update: The wavy audio player's amplitude now responds to the audio being played. Also moved all platform/share links into the radio button, and updated how episode cards are shown so they look more like a connected list :)

Folks. I’m working on a new portfolio site and, due to winter reasons, there will be snow ☃️

I’m working with a lot of Wear OS mocks at the moment and using arc text is so fun :)

Here's a quick snippet showing the gradient loop at higher res, from my recent episode with Troy youtu.be/PjHWcZm4Z2U

Liam Spradlin @iamli.am · 22/10/2025

I have a layer with the gradient loop, and a fun mask that mimics the main show art on top. Then I layer in the episode info and subtitles (in different colors based on the speaker)

This is really weird. Spotify rewrote the chapter titles for this episode automatically with AI 😐

Liam Spradlin @iamli.am · 27/08/2025

using AI to stage real estate photos is so funny to me. like yes, I do actually want to occupy a space in which nothing quite makes sense.

look at this enormous bee I saw in the flower field

Dialogs like this really underestimate my baseline level of anxiety and ability to get distracted. You think I’m gonna walk away and start working on a cup of coffee and then calmly remember to come back and check on the update?
