FIRST POST
This is a first post on my new hugo site. Check out some portfolio items of things I’ve made in the past.
COUNTDOWN TIMER FOR VIRTUAL MEETINGS
See it live: https://thejoshdean.com/timer I built this lightweight countdown timer as a clean, ad‑free “entry dashboard” for virtual meetings or conferences. When people join early, they immediately see a large timer over a subtle looping video background plus a short message about when we’ll start.
VIDEO TABLE OF CONTENTS
Video table of contents generator.
CARD GAME
A lightweight “addition War” game in the browser. The UI uses Bootstrap 4 and jQuery for layout/interaction, while the game logic is plain JavaScript. Cards are rendered with Unicode playing-card glyphs, so no image sprites are required. Try it here: card game demo.
ACCESSIBLE MATH CONTENT
Accessible math content in HTML files using LaTeX or TeX code and converted during page load.
SYLLABUS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
I built a web-based Syllabus Management Program to retire a mountain of PDFs and replace them with clean, accessible, versioned HTML. This was a solo build over multiple months; I partnered with the curriculum team for the canonical structure and content migration.
CUSTOM MARKDOWN EDITOR
Custom Markdown Editor with Mathjax for LaTeX support and code highlighting.
MATHJAX FOR ACCESSIBLE MATH AND CHEMISTRY
MathJax renders math and chemistry notation in the browser so you don’t have to ship screenshots or PDFs. Authors can write in LaTeX or MathML, and MathJax turns that into crisp, accessible HTML/SVG that works across devices and screen readers.
INLINE CUSTOM HTML EDITOR
This is an example of an inline HTML editor.
