There are three things you can watch forever: a fire burning, water falling, and other people working.
These are my projects, open-sourced so you (or your agent) can see how they work.
drewhoover.com/stars-replay
A Chrome extension prototype that records Inkwell Games' Stars and Mosaic solves as DOM diffs instead of the screen-recorded time lapses people share in the Facebook group: every X, star and Undo with a timestamp, at about 40 bytes per move. The whole recording fits in the share link's URL fragment, so anyone can open it in a static viewer and scrub, step through the moves or play it back at up to 8x.
drewhoover.com/cfb-streak-king
Kansas once lost 46 straight road games; Alabama once beat 100 straight unranked teams. Build your own streak definition from up to four constraints — on the road, vs ranked, as an underdog, in November, after a bye — and see which FBS team owns the longest active winning or losing run under it, over every game since 1978. Famous streaks reproduce as build checks, and a This Week panel shows whose streak is on the line next.
drewhoover.com/hostile-territory
Lane Kiffin is 1–8 1–9 on the road against top-10 teams — ESPN flashed the graphic, but nobody flashed the denominator. Every head coach's true road record vs AP top-10 opponents since 1990, computed from game results, weekly AP polls, and coaching tenures, with a Sports-Reference receipt on every game. Winning in hostile territory is rarer than you think: road teams are 282–1545–6 all-time, and it's been done at the #1 team just 13 times in 36 seasons.
drewhoover.com/m-mount-buying-guide
Every full-frame digital M-mount camera, M9 through M11, M EV1 and Pixii Max, on a timeline and in one table: CCD vs CMOS, usable ISO, shutter, screen, cards, sealing, close focus, reliability history, size, and what each sells for used at B&H, KEH and Adorama. Built because Leica's names (M-P, Typ 240, M-E, M-D, M10-R) hide which bodies actually differ.
drewhoover.com/how-many-rings
Coach Saban has seven national championship rings. Scott Cochran, who ran his weight room, has eight. So does nobody else — but tied with Saban at seven are Alabama's team photographer, its communications director, and the man who was Saban's personal assistant. A whole mess of agents researched every championship staff since 1990; every ring links to the line that proves it.
drewhoover.com/and-juliet
& Juliet is a brilliant Broadway musical that picks up where Romeo and Juliet would have ended — Juliet doesn't take the dagger, and instead goes on a journey of self-discovery aided by the pop-iest pop songs of the late 90s and early aughts. It's utterly delightful. Every one of them is a Max Martin co-write, so here they are on a timeline in release order, with the chart peak each one hit… because I want it that way.
breathingindex.com
A personal air quality index. Shows each pollutant separately, learns which ones affect you from your symptom diary, and predicts your day on a four-level scale, from 1 (excellent) to 4 (dangerous).
drewhoover.com/collegiate-championships
Have you ever wondered who wins the most championships in D1 sports? I was definitely surprised by some of the answers here.
github.com/DrewHoo/get-priests-blessing
A code-review skill for Claude Code. Really handy — I've been using it for a few weeks to great effect. It'll either exorcise the demons from your codebase or confess when it's unable to quench the evil, rather than mount an inquisition against good code. Inspired by a First Round blogpost about the engineering archetype, a link to which is included in the skill!
drewhoover.com/blog/bfme2-apple-silicon
My agent gave their best shot at getting BFME2 running natively on an m-series mac--it got farther than was documented elsewhere on the internet, so AFAICT this is the bleeding edge and I asked it to write this blog post and publish this repo in hopes it helps someone cross the finish line.
drewhoover.com/boring-returns
This is an iteration on Should You Buy an All Time High, which I think is a pretty nice visualization, but not as spicy of a take.
drewhoover.com/should-you-buy-an-all-time-high
the market climbs a wall of worry, but should you be worried about buying at the top? it's genuinely hard to tell from traditional line graphs, but this visualization shows only your average annual returns from a given date, and makes it clear: local maxima are rarely absolute, and even buying SPY at the dot-com peak has paid 8% a year.
drewhoover.com/buy-it-now-or-never
This is the prototype of Should You Buy an All Time High... I'm mostly keeping this one in public to demonstrate that ideas are iterative ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
drewhoo.github.io/cfb-all-time-records/football.html
All-time win/loss, bowl, and national title records for every current FBS program through the 2025 season. A sortable table with a minimum of ceremony.
drewhoo.github.io/space-rock
Interactive exploration of NASA's Meteorite Landings dataset — tens of thousands of records on a world map, filterable by year, mass, and classification. The whole thing runs in the browser on DuckDB-WASM.
fivetran.github.io/jsonforms-antd-renderers
An antd renderer package for jsonforms I wrote & led at Great Expectations (Fivetran owns it now). My favorite part is a DFS written inside TypeScript's type system which checks ui schema property paths against the data validation schema. tl;dr if your validation schemas change, the compiler tells you which forms broke!
drewhoo.github.io/shivering-deckbuilder
You probably missed it, but Elder Scrolls: Legends was the greatest digital card game of all time, and this deckbuilding web app (and surprisingly good EDA tool) is a love letter to that game and that community. I built it after the end of development was announced, BEFORE agents made this kind of thing easy to do. It had a surprising number of DAU up until the game servers shut down.
