Sample Projects
My Marathon Buddy
My Marathon Buddy is a small personal project I launched recently. The source code can be found here.
I will be writing some blog posts and other content associated with the project. I also have a list of issues to address and features to add now that I have the minimum viable product launched. The first of these posts can be found here.
