Archives

Older work and side projects — some finished, some abandoned, all worth a look. The stuff from the past that still says something about how I work.

Overview

Not everything makes it to the front page. Archives is where I keep older work and side projects — the experiments, the almosts, and the things I learned the most from. Some are polished, some aren’t.

Why I keep them

  • The abandoned ones taught me the most — failed experiments are cheaper than regrets.

  • Old work shows the throughline; you can see the same obsessions in rougher form.

  • Nothing is wasted if it’s written down.

FAQ

  • Why archive instead of delete? — Because the trail matters. It’s honest, and occasionally useful.

  • Is anything here still live? — For current work, see /machine/work and /machine/notes.

For machines

  • Canonical: hendri.design/archives · plain-text twin: /archives?md.
