I Shipped...

I added support for markdown formatting (like bold and italic text) and emoticons to my personal chat app, so messages look richer and more expressive instead of just plain text.

I built a personal real-time chat app using Meteor.js. This was an early merge bringing in several improvements, including better notification pop-ups when things go wrong, and an access control system so channels can be public or restricted to specific users.

I built the first working version of a personal real-time chat application using Meteor.js, with basic visual design and the ability to create and switch between different chat channels.

Codiad is a code editor that runs in a web browser. Its file-comparison feature was breaking when files contained special characters (like accented letters), because it wasn't explicitly set to handle UTF-8 encoding. I added the UTF-8 encoding declaration so that comparing files with non-English characters works correctly.

Anchor CMS is a lightweight PHP blogging platform. It would crash when running on a machine without internet access because it tried to check for updates without handling the case where it couldn't connect. I added a check so it gracefully skips the update check when there's no network connection, instead of crashing.
