Projects
Here are a list of things that I've built or currently working on (solo or with koekoecrunch). Only a few have some degree of "success", most of them failed.
RNDBLK is a collection of random visuals that might or might not be notable.
We are using NFT as a microblog to share random thoughts and design concepts through simple visuals.
Blockmento is a platform that anyone can use to create and collect digital mementos as non-transferable NFTs.
We want to help people record and preserve moments in life that will last across generations using blockchain.
Blockvatar is a free, globally unique CC0 NFT avatar on the Polygon blockchain. Every NFT is generated randomly on-the-fly upon minting from billions of different trait combinations.
We want to make blockchain and Web3 approachable and accessible to everyone through NFT and visual art.
There are almost 100,000 Blockvatars minted. View on OpenSea.
Blocktizen is a digital collectible experiment.
It has gone through many iterations. Initially it was a Web3 social network where Blockvatar as part of it. Then we decided to make Blockvatar a standalone NFT project. It then became a Linktree for Web3 but that does not work out.
Currently we are on the third iteration and we are still experimenting.
Coinpop is a Telegram crypto trading bot that send buy or sell signals.
The buy and sell signals (strategy) is determined by a combination of several technical indicators. Signals are also being tweeted out at @coinpopsignals.
It was a fun personal project to learn algorithmic trading strategies.
Lootpop is a money-saving mobile app that brings user the latest deals and promotions.
The idea started in 2016 as a freebies marketplace. Went through some iterations, and was put on hold for some years and finally launched in 2021 as a web-first deal and promotion app.
PlayRally is a mobile app for gamers communicate, collaborate and coordinate with their clan, guild or alliance members outside of the game.
We pulled the plug halfway through. At that time, there were no framework like React Native or Flutter that we can leverage to build mobile app for both iOS and Android using a single codebase.
Picmoji is an iPhone app that allows users to add "emoji" to their photos making them more meaningful and expressive.
This was my first iOS app published on the App Store, written in Objective-C. I've made few dollars from IAP but that's about it.
It was fun project to learn building iOS app from 0 to 1 and releasing it on the AppStore.
Catmoji is a place for cat lovers to share, discover and enjoy cat pictures and videos through emoji.
It was a pivot from Flvrd because we noticed majority of users using Flvrd to share cat pictures and it somehow went viral on the internet.
We ended up shutting it down because the operational cost is just too high and we were unable to monitize it fast enough.
Flvrd is a place where flavors meet visuals. Flvrd lets you share and explore interesting pictures or videos through flavors.
The idea of Flvrd is that you can react to pictures and videos using "flavors" like heart, LOL, shocked, etc and browse them based on these flavors.
TriColumn is a three-column WordPress theme with one sidebar on the left and the other on the right.
I created this theme for my own blog and was later released to the public. At that time, most free WordPress themes were single-column layout. I wanted a three column theme so that I can put more ads on it.
It was theme number 68 on WordPress.org.
