Digital Card Game in GodotA digital build of the 1997 Shadowrun trading card game, playable solo against an AI, hotseat, or online with up to four players. The rules engine runs headless and separate from the screen: state is plain data, every change is a recorded Action, and randomness is seeded — so games save, replay, undo and run over the network from the same code. All 500+ printed cards are in the set with their text implemented or ruled on, and a full-screen theatre narrates each shadowrun beat by beat so everyone at the table can follow it. Desktop builds for macOS, Windows and Linux come from the portal page. An unofficial, non-commercial fan work. https://cp-tcg.oglimmer.com/project:1:CP2077 TCG - Online Tabletop for a Cyberpunk Card GameAn online table for playing the Cyberpunk 2077 trading card game with a friend. Two players share one board in real time: drag cards around, flip and rotate them, move them between hand, board and trash, and roll dice — every action shows up on the other screen at once. A deck builder lets you browse the card pool and save decks, hands stay hidden from your opponent, and each player sees the board from their own side. Works with a mouse on desktop and with touch on an iPad. An unofficial, non-commercial fan work, not endorsed by CD PROJEKT RED. https://oglimmer.github.io/wisp-homepage/project:2:Wisp - Folder-Based Markdown Note EditorA macOS Markdown editor with Claude wired into it: type a thought into one box and Claude works out which note it belongs in and where, showing a diff you approve before anything is written. Ask a question instead and it answers from the vault alone, citing every file it read. Paste a screenshot and it lands in the vault with a written description; mention a date and it proposes a reminder. Notes stay plain Markdown in a folder you pick — no database, no index, no rendering. Wisp shells out to the claude CLI on your own machine under your own account, so the app itself opens no connection at all. https://registry-cleaner.oglimmer.com/project:3:Registry Cleaner - Docker Registry Retention & GCA Helm chart deploying a Kubernetes CronJob that keeps a Docker Registry v2 lean: it prunes old manifests per a configurable retention policy, then runs registry garbage-collect to reclaim disk. An optional viewer (a single distroless Go binary talking to the Kubernetes API) shows live inventory, a dry-run preview of what the next run would prune, last-run status, and an inline policy editor. https://irl-planner.oglimmer.com/project:4:ID5 IRL Attendance AppA web app for collecting attendee information ahead of company offsites ("IRLs"). Admins (IRL team) configure an event once; employees sign in with Google SSO (restricted to @oglimmer.com) and submit attendance + travel details via a form with conditional logic. The app tracks non-responders, sends invitations + tz-aware reminders over email or Slack, logs all activity, and exports responses. Events can carry a cover image, and the admin activity timeline is filterable by participant vs. admin actions. https://coding-agent.oglimmer.com/project:5:Coding Agent - Self-Service Feature Development PlatformSelf-service platform where authenticated users request features against configured GitHub repositories and an autonomous coding agent implements them end-to-end — with tests — opens a pull request, waits for the repository's GitHub Action review, and fixes the findings. It then auto-merges the approved PR, or — if the requester turns auto-merge off — stops at an approved, green PR and leaves the final merge to a human. https://trivia.oglimmer.com/project:6:Trivia - Real-Time Multiplayer Trivia GameA mobile-first, real-time trivia game where players upload a photo and a question, the host runs the round, everyone answers live, and scores are revealed with a podium finish. Live updates via WebSocket, time-bonus scoring, scheduled-start games, and optional magic-link email login so players can rejoin from any device. https://ai-plugins.oglimmer.com/project:7:Plugin Skill Hosting - Claude Code Plugin MarketplaceA self-hosted, token-gated Claude Code plugin marketplace for organizations to share plugins and skills. Authors edit skills via the web UI or a built-in MCP server, and the backend materialises every change into a bare git repo served over smart HTTP so updates are instantly available to every Claude Code user in the org. https://oglimmer.github.io/nist-random/project:8:NIST Randomness Beacon - Verifiable Dice RollsA single-page Vue 3 app that turns a public NIST beacon pulse plus a user-chosen seed into a SHA-256 hash and maps it to fair dice rolls. Anyone can re-fetch the same pulse and recompute the hash to verify the result — no trust required. https://github.com/oglimmer/macos-webpm-video-convertproject:9:Video Nicer - Video to MP4 Converter for macOSA native macOS app that converts video files to MP4 using ffmpeg. Supports drag-and-drop, right-click Finder context menu, and "Open With" integration. Includes a Finder extension for seamless conversion without opening a separate window. https://coffee.oglimmer.com/project:10:Coffee Diary - Espresso Brewing TrackerA web app for espresso enthusiasts to record beans, equipment, brewing parameters, and tasting notes. Log detailed brewing sessions, maintain inventories of coffee beans and filters, and refine your workflow over time.
