Frank's Projects

What is This?

Place to keep links to some projects that I have worked on. These projects are software projects so far (and things that I wanted to test in a production environment), but I am not sure what all I will work on in the future.

Projects

Material UI Logo

A Material Design - Like Design System

I created a MUI like design system to learn about CSS and to use for various projects. I tried to make it smaller so that assets load faster. This page contains links to various components that make up most frontend design systems that you see out there. I will probably be adding more in the future. Need to create some more useful components.

Completed WILL ADD TO
Google Maps

Google Maps Implementation

Demonstration of the Google Maps JavaScript API, not only showing GEOJSON locations on a map, but also drawing circles and polygons on the map. This page was created because I want to include this functionality in another project. Need to fix how Google Maps API works on SPAs.

COMPLETED WILL ADD TO
Lexical Implementation

Lexical Implementation

This page contains a demonstration of my vanilla JS Lexical Rich Text Editor Implementation. It contains a demonstration and some description (which is currently not great) of how I went about implementing the editor.

COMPLETED REWRITE CONTENT
Lexical

Various Lexical Implementations

This page contains a demonstration of various different editors. When implementing rich text editors, you want different versions of an editor for different things - i.e., a article builder editor with all components, a comment editor with only some components, and a text-only editor that can handle links. This page shows some demonstrations of different editors. Add to this page when you create a new editor type.

Article Builder

Article Builder - Final Implementation

I created a few different implementations of an article builder until I created one that I feel I got right. This implementation includes a sticky navbar and an editor that has a variable height based on the amount of content in the editor. I should explain this better.

COMPLETED ADD CONTENT
Article Builder

Article Builder Implementation 3

This version of the article builder allows users to insert multiple <section>s - with each section either being custom HTML and CSS or a Lexical Rich Text editor. The sections can be rearranged through drag and drop. I felt this article builder was too difficult to use on mobile devices, and also just too involved in general.

ARCHIVE
Article Builder

Article Builder Implementation 2

This version of the article builder is similar to the third version of the article builder, except that it doesn't allow users to insert custom HTML and CSS. This version of the article builder was again too involved and difficult to use on mobile.

ARCHIVE
Article Builder

Article Builder Implementation 1

This version of the article builder takes up the whole page - giving users the whole screen to write a blog post or something similar. The styling of this article builder was no good and the styling also gives users the wrong impression of how content will look on mobile / tablet devices.

ARCHIVE
Playground Logo

HTML, CSS, and Javascript Playground

I created this page mainly to test out my codemirror (see npm) implementation. I also used the time creating this page to look into how I might safely implement user-supplied-code into my site, but I didn't find anything that I wanted to work on. This needs to be improved my implementing a view of the console of the <frame> element.

ARCHIVE WORK ON
Create a Poll

Create a Poll

Using this page to demonstrate the functionality of something I want to implement in an application - a way of creating polls and analyzing them using AI. This involves allowing users to insert multi-modal input (upload images, audio, video, and custom HTML as a response to a survey/poll question). Need to come back to this.

WORK ON
Record Media

Record Media

Demonstration of uploading / taking / recording images, audio, and video using JavaScript web APIs. I wanted to create my own implementation of recording audio / video / taking images, and I also wanted to see how it works. You can also test out uploading images and getting suitable sizes for mobile, desktop, and tablet devices. I need to review / rewrite the content for this page.

COMPLETED REWRITE CONTENT
Create Gradient

Create Gradient

For some reason, I was really interested in CSS gradients one day so I created this page, on which you can create your own Linear and Radial gradients with any amount of colors / modifications. I think I created this page because I wanted to learn more about SVGs too.

COMPLETED
Census Information Near You

Census Information Near You

I created this page as a demonstration of dynamically loading google maps javascript maps / dynamically loading GEOJSON and also to figure out what kind of information I alreay have about census communities around the United States. I also wanted to test out the Geolocation JavaScript API.

COMPETED
Markdown to HTML

Markdown to HTML

I created this page to test out my Markdown to HTML system that I created with marked-js. This page contains a code editor that you can use to inert markdown and see the resulting HTML using my current system. I might switch from using marked js to pandoc in the future for markdown to HTML conversions.

COMPLETED REWRITE CONTENT
Configure Font Size Adjust

Configure Font Size Adjust

I use a custom font, Anuphan, on this site, and I wanted to find the best way to configure the <size-adjust> property of a @font-face declaration to minimize the cumulative layout shift. On this page, you can sww what the optimal font <size-adjust> property would be for every font on google fonts.

COMPLETED
Looking Into Safe Ways to Embed Social Media Post

Looking into Embedding Social Media Posts

I created this page in an effort to look into safe ways to embed different social media posts so that I could include that as an option in my Lexical rich text editor. I wanted to test this out in a production environment to make sure my content security policy directives were correct.

COMPLETED INFORMATIVE
Testing CSS env Variables

Testing CSS env Variables

I created this page to test out CSS env variables that are available to developers to make styling easier on different devices. It can be difficult to create styles for different types of mobile devices, tablets, and computers, and these CSS variables make it easier. I had to upload this in production to test out many different devices easily.

COMPLETED INFORMATIVE
Convert File Type

Convert File Type

I created this page so that I can easily convert images, audio files, video files, and documents to different file types, i.e., png to jpeg or docx to HTML. I created this page using imagemagick for images, ffmpeg for audio and video, and pandoc for documents. I still need to work on converting documents to HTML and making it look good for jupyter notebooks, markdown, and tex documents.

COMPLETED
JavaScript and Python Playground

JavaScript and Python Playground

I wanted to create this page because I oftentimes go to different website to run a small snippet of JavaScript or Python code that I want to test out, and I would rather just do it here. This page also gives me the opportunity to find out more about sandboxing user-supplied (untrusted) code.

WORKING ON

AI Projects

Get File Information

I wanted to create this page so that I can easily get information about image, audio, video, and document files. It also gives me the opportunity to standardize the information that I care about with the respect to the metadata of each of these file types.

COMPLETED

Neural Style Transfer

This is a page to demonstrate a Neural Style Tranfer model that I implemented on the backend. This is the first page that uses a different systemd service than the Node.js service that runs most of this site. I learned about and provide information on Neural Style transfer on this page. I also learned about Flask and TensorFlow with this project.

COMPLETED

Various NLP Tasks

I implemented various HuggingFace models on the backend (and used some external APIs) to demonstrate some common Natural Language Processing tasks on this page. Demonstrations of Fill-Mask, Question Answering, Semantic Analysis, Named Entity recognition, Classification, Feature Extraction, Summarization, and Keyword Extraction can be found here.

COMPLETED

Various AI Image Tasks

I implemented various HuggingFace models on the backend (and used some external APIs) to demonstrate some common AI-related Image tasks on this page. This includes feature extraction, image captioning, image safe search, text to image, monocular depth estimation, object detection, image segmentation, keypoint detection, and optical character recognition.

COMPLETED

AI Chat

I want to create an AI chatbot using external APIs to learn more about how the big labs use chatbots - and to learn more about their APIs. I am not really talking about the Deep Learning behind these LLMs that I want to learn about (since the cost to create these models is out of my reach), but the software engineering related to running one.

WORKING ON

Visualization Projects

Visualizing NCAA Basketball Tournament Results

I got data on the results of the NCAA basketball tournament from the 80s to now and I wanted to create a page that visualizes the results on a map and bracket. I haven't completed this because I got caught up in other things and making a bracket in HTML is harder than I thought (or harder to put effort into than I previously thought).

NOT DONE

Learning HTML 5 Canvas

I wanted to learn more about the HTML 5 canvas element, so I created this page. I will probably tru to create a game or something using canvas in the future since there is a lot to do with it, but this page is not of much use.

NOT HELPFUL (YET)

To Be Completed

HTML to JavaScript

I wanted to create this page to make it easier to create HTML components using JavaScript, i.e. - upload HTML and receive JavaScript that produces that HTML in a way that is impossible to attack via Cross Site Scripting. I have abandoned this for now.

NOT DONE

Create SVG

I wanted to create an SVG maker that - instead of converting images to complex <path> elements - actually used some more common SVG elements like <circle> and <rect> and <text>. I will probably come back to this in the far off future (maybe).

MORE INFO (COMPLETED?)

CSS Sprite Builder

I wanted to create a page that makes it easy to create CSS sprites. I will probably come back to this in the future.

MORE INFO (COMPLETED?)

Create Three JS Texture

I wanted to create a page that makes it easy to create a Three JS texture. I will probably come back to this in the future.

MORE INFO (COMPLETED?)

Archive

These projects aren't really projects but pages that I created to remind myself of things before I had finalized the article builder. Some of these projects are things I ended up abandoning because I didn't find them useful or I didn't want to do anything more with them.

Three JS Playground

I created this page because I wanted to create a page where users can upload 3D asset files and play with them in Three JS. I will probably come back to this in the future.

NOT DONE ARCHIVE

SVG Basics

I wanted to learn about the basics of SVGs, so I created this page. On this page, I take notes on SVGs and demonstrate some animation functionality that they have.

INFORMATIVE

Three JS Test

I originally wanted users to be able to upload 3D objects to the Lexical rich text editor, but I decided against it because I wouldn't know how to perform content moderation on 3D assets. This page is a demonstration that three js works on this site.

NOT DONE ARCHIVE

Creating Full Text Search

I created this page before I had completed the article builder. This page contains some notes on how I initially decided to go about implementing full text search for this site.

INFORMATIVE

Implementing Auth

I created this page before I had completed the article builder. This page contains some notes on how I decided to go about implementing authentication for this site.

INFORMATIVE

Learning D3.js

I wanted to learn D3.js because that is how I was planning to implement graphs on the client. Now, I think I am going to use something else.

INFORMATIVE

Image Editor

I created this page to learn more about the pintura image editor and imagemagick. I will come back to this page to make it easier to edit images with imagemagick without having to learn/memorize the command with all the options.

WORKING ON INFORMATIVE

Excalidraw Implementation

Originally, I wanted to create this page because I thought Excalidraw was a good way to create diagrams. I am just not a big fan of it, and given the fact that it is only available through React, I eventually quit caring about this. It used to work, but I don't care enough about it to make it work again. I may come back to this if I am really bored.
