I needed a search function on my website without bloating it with heavy libraries or server-side tools. Instead of relying on frameworks, I decided to write my own lightweight, client-side search from scratch. Here's how I did it, and why building it myself turned out to be a good idea.

Archiving an Archive
My Adventures Scraping the Contents of the Archive of Digital Art
A while ago, I wanted to learn web scraping so I wrote my own little suite of applications based on Puppeteer/Node.js to grab content from the Archive of Digital Art (ADA), parse it into JSON and extract the images. Join me as I scrape the bottom of the web archive.

Sports Calendar Web App
EventRadar is a calendar of sports events, where events can be added and categorized based on sports. I have implemented a simple user registration and login, so that only signed-in users can make changes to the calendar. I developed it in PHP, Symfony, TWIG (with Bootstrap 5), and MySQL.

Pure Text Website
In the age of complex HTML and CSS, with content dynamically rendered with JavaScript and megabytes worth of images, I bring you a minimalistic page only composed of pure text. It still has large titles and a page layout.

S-Transfer Website
Nearly ten years ago, I created a website for S-Transfer. This was a local startup in Vienna for the
secure transfer of data. Ultimately, the startup never took off. For me this wasn't a problem

Table-based Xenon 2 Fansite
This is a little project from way back when I made a little fansite about the 1980s shoot 'em up

made it in the early 2000s and it uses tables for the layout because IE needed that. It's a bit
cheesy, but it's a fun little project.
