a kanban board with various tasks in backlog, to-do, in progress and done columns

a kanban view with various cards in backlog, to-do, in progress and done columns. the cards are in an unselected state, a message saying 'select the cards you want to focus on for this session’ is visible.

screen for preparing for a work cycle, with a pomodoro style timer and some questions to answer before starting: why is this work valuable? how will you know when this work is done? any risks or distractions? any other notes?

screen during a break between work cycles. a heading reads time to reflect and relax. there are two questions: did you achieve what you wanted (the 'yes' option is selected)? anything noteworthy? and a button to start cycle 2.

screenshot of a writing app. a list of folders and files are in a right hand sidebar, and a long list of tasks are in the editor content, most of which are checked as completed.

Scott Riley @scott.is · 04/09/2026

the plus side to having no work but being in a manic state of 'i need to build things' is that i have essentially finished my local-only writing app. yes this is the 5th rebuild from scratch. no i will not rebuild it again.

screenshot of a writing app, on the left is a sidebar with folders and posts, on the right is an editor, with the first few paragraphs of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in it.

Scott Riley @scott.is · 30/08/2026

it’s not the best website and it won’t convert enterprise clients to innovative agentic saas solutions to boost my bosses’ KPIs but you CAN play a pokémon-inspired game where you use my dog to beat up an LLM.

git commit -am "da horns babeyyy"

screenshot of a website in a lo-fi pixellated style. text on the left has a header that reads "Scott is cuddling his dog" and two paragraphs: "Welcome, dear friend, to my little slice of the web. This is where you’ll find whatever piece of myself I have been able to plonk into the ether.

Take a look around. It’s sparse I know, but that’s the joy of a space, right? Maybe soon it’ll be a place."

on the right is an ascii art depiction of the 'devil horns' hand gesture, mocked up to look like a retro application window with "da-horns-babeyyy.txt" in it's 'menu bar'.
