Exploring technology is not always about making the perfect digital experience, it can also be about experimenting and making Scrappy Apps. Starting to work with new tools, APIs, and programming languages can be a bit intimidating, so instead I focus on getting familiar with the technology. These apps are raw, often incomplete and have a lot of room to develop further. In this log I will be exploring the scrappy apps I have been working on, and sharing the hopes I have for them in the future. I will also be exploring where this technology is being used currently or will be used in the future.

To develop these apps, I upload them to a Github repository and publish them with Netlify.com. the development stacks I use are quite mixed, at the moment I am mainly working with HTML, CSS and JavaScript to build visualisations. I have also made micro-games in Construct3 and have experimented with publishing 360 photography in webpages. For data visualisations, I've used D3.js and python. Other visualisations tools I have used are Datawrapper and Rawgraphs.


For sketching ideas and collaborative work, I use Figma.com for planning, demos and prototyping, and Miro.com for ideation, planning and mapping.


You can try out some of my experiments here at RAWeb.
