Handcoded in HTML, CSS and Javascript and running locally, Scrubjay is usable for research, collection, game-building, website construction or simply to hold little fragments of digital things, in the same way that you hold a pebble in your palm on a walk.

A hero's final rest. #lego #bionicle
A colourful drawing of line art and watercolour of bionicle Toa Tahu. The Red Orange one. Resting against a tree in the woods. At his feet are the 5 masks of all the other original bionicles heroes. A Spot of sunshine comes through the trees. Wide enough to form a circle in the shape of Tahu and ailluminate him in the otherwise dark forest. Toa is covvered in rust and dust. Leafs spout from his shoulders and mask. His plating looks old and battered. One may wonder how long he has been here.

Couple disclaimers: - These criteria are loose, eg might occasionally post Edinburgh-specific stuff - I don't have insider knowledge so am not endorsing; I might check overall Glassdoor score/homepage for the ick but recommend doing research & asking friends! - I've reviewed listings manually, no AI
