gh-dork

A CLI dorking tool for use on Github (public or enterprise). Loosely based on another popular dorking tool, it adds support for running queries against lists of users, and optimizes searches to minimize waits caused by Github's API limits.

Static timeline generator

A static site generator to allow people to create their own timelines like the Wikimedia timeline without having to know or write much HTML, CSS, or JavaScript.

Massachusetts COVID-19 data scraper

A tool to scrape and format daily COVID-19 data published by the state of Massachusetts for use in the COVID-19 pandemic in Massachusetts Wikipedia article.

Wikimedia timeline of events, 2014–2016

A timeline of events to help illustrate some of the problems the Wikimedia Foundation was exhibiting in 2014–2016, including lack of communication with the editing community, poor transparency, and sudden loss of staff members. Several years later I created the static timeline generator based on this project, after people found the format to be effective and asked how they could create their own.

Twitter bot framework

A very simple framework to get people started creating Twitter bots in Python.
