Jordan Harrison, developer in Portlaoise, Ireland
Run your cursor through the headline.
I can take a project from the database up, but the interface is where I lose track of time.

Creator, full-stack
Meith is open-source forum software for communities that want their own domain and their own data. Threads render on the server, so you can read and post with JavaScript switched off. A typed theme system means no two boards have to look alike.
Contributor, frontend and design system
Tutors is an open learning toolkit used for remote courses at SETU Waterford. I moved it to Svelte a while back, then recently rebuilt the interface with a sidebar that stays put and a course structure you can read at a glance. Drag the handle to compare the two.
About
I have always had two interests running side by side: graphic design and photography on one side, technology on the other. I worked in system administration and IT before I built software for a living. The web is where I got to combine them, and I still care as much about how something looks and feels as how it runs.
These days I work on digital experiences at Charles River Laboratories, and I bring local developers together through GDG Portlaoise. The projects I enjoy most are open source, because someone else gets to use what I made.
Writing
A project or a question, either is a good reason to write. I read everything that lands here.
