+<h2>Shark</h2>
+<p><a href="https://github.com/nhanb/shark/">Shark</a> is a simple “desktop pet”. It’s my first foray into cross-platform

+anything fun.</p>

+<section id="Pytaku">
+<h2>Pytaku</h2>
+<p><a href="https://git.sr.ht/~nhanb/pytaku">Pytaku</a> is a web-based manga reader that’s designed to be as
+self-host-friendly as possible. It’s an experiment to see how far I can get
+with a simpler toolset: basically just flask, sqlite and mithril.js for the
+frontend. There are still many rough spots but that’s enough for my daily use,
+so it’s currently in maintenance mode.</p>

+<section id="ORTS">
+<h2>ORTS</h2>
+<p><a href="https://github.com/nhanb/orts/">ORTS</a> is a GUI for operating scoreboards on

+happened.</p>

+<h2>An animated wallpaper for KDE Plasma</h2>
+<p>I was frustrated that KDE 5 didn’t allow animated gifs as wallpaper so I <a href="https://github.com/nhanb/com.nerdyweekly.animated">wrote
+one</a>. Every now and then someone would <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/9sd5uy/kde_plasma_blur_gif_pixel_art_wallpaper_look/">use it on /r/unixporn</a> and cause
+a surge in github stars. It is currently my most starred repo, which gives me
+mixed feelings.</p>

+<a href="https://gemini.circumlunar.space/">gemini://</a> browser written in python and
+tkinter, meaning it Just Works (tm) on any self-respecting desktop OS.
+Fast forward a couple of years and there’s still no interesting content on the
+gemini-verse (that I can find anyway). Also given the fact that there’s a very
+good <a href="https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/mozz.us/">web proxy</a> now, McRoss is pretty
+much shelved.</p>
