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.

INLINE CUSTOM HTML EDITOR

This is an example of an inline HTML editor.
