About this notebook
I come from operations and business, not engineering. I describe what I want, AI writes the code, and I find out how far that gets me.
This is my notebook. Each project has a build log with what I used, what went wrong and the steps to build something like it yourself. So far that's a car cost calculator, a markets dashboard, a paper plane game and an OpenClaw agent I set up on a Raspberry Pi.
If you have ever wondered whether you could build your own thing without being a coder, start with the notes.
Personal projects by Howie L., shared as is. Everything here is my own interpretation, not financial, legal or professional advice, and my apps are not enterprise grade. Use anything at your own risk. I'm not liable for any loss that comes from it. Terms and full disclaimer

experiments · marketsCould I build my own charting tool?
Prism started because I wanted to see if I could build my own charting tool instead of paying for one. It's still raw. How I built it, and what I learnt. - No. 005
experiments · toolsI couldn't decide which car to buy
SGCarPrice came out of my own car shopping. How it went from a rough AI-built prototype to a car cost calculator, and what I learnt along the way. - No. 004
experiments · workflowsHow I built this site
It started as a generic AI-made page with a 'Technical founder brand' badge. How it became a notebook I edit from GitHub, and what I learnt on the way.
