Now: Building SketchMason
Short write-ups by Daniel Dx on how his projects were built. 7 so far.
A small Next.js dashboard that ranks subnet 23 miners: one proxy route, a typed client, and polling tuned to how often each piece of data changes.
How SketchMason turns a canvas of rough boxes into a streamed UI design: a text manifest of the shapes, a careful rasteriser, credits that follow what was produced and output that is checked before it mounts.
The short version of how I got here: a computer operator job in 2020, two dev roles, and full-stack work under Dx Coding Web since 2023.
The process I use for client work and my own products: problem first, a live link early, and shipping before it feels finished.
What I learned building a leaderboard for subnet 23 in 2025 and a live dashboard for subnet 102 in 2026, and why the second one is so much smaller.
How the academic library platform fits together: PDF uploads, a gated catalogue, reading progress per book and the admin tools behind it.
I play drums, and the habits carry over: repeat the hard part, listen for what's actually there and keep good time.
