Projects

Here are a few coding projects I’ve worked on over the years. See more experiments at https://j.hn/lab/.

Image
Best Commentaries – a project I created as a seminary student before I knew that algorithms could be biased. Still a leading Bible study tool.
Image
MediaElement.js – in the 2010 transition from Flash to HTML5, this library helped developers from Facebook and Twitter, and became a part of WordPress Core.
Image
BibleWebApp.com – web-based Bible Software, great for Greek/Hebrew looks. Millions of copies of an offline version have been distributed in closed countries.
Image
worship.ai – the world’s first Artificial Intelligence (AI) worship lyric generator. For fun and as an example of input/output and RNN style generation.
Image
BibleReadingPlanGenerator.com – lets you create a customized Bible reading plan by choosing the books of the Bible, days of the week, and preferred reading style.

Image
An experiment to visually navigate through all 1,189 chapters of the Bible by the size of the chapter and genre color.
Image
YallVersion.com – attempts to shows all (most) second person plurals in Greek and Hebrew with “y’all” (or regional variations).
Image
Education Player – this open source player can handle multiple streams and captions and adapt to mobile
Image
Unicode Keyboards – simple tool for typing Greek or Hebrew Unicode characters without installing an operating system keyboard.

Image
Back in 2005, before <canvas> and other tools, this plugin layered PNG images to simulate a picker. Used by Apple iTunes!
Image
Google Maps Buildings – this was an attempt to simulate 3D buildings using the polygon API. Google Maps Mania post.

Image
Audio Alignment – works to automate alignment between text and an MP3. Tests from the Bible and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s I Have a Dream Speech.
Image
bib.ly – back in the days of URL shorteners for social media, bib.ly created easy to use Bible links that were site agnostic and let users choose a destination.
Image
FreeTextBox.com – From the early days of ASP.NET 1.0. The core dll was free, but the source code was my first product.

Image
TwitterVoice3D – one of many Flash experiments using Papervision 3D. This one pulled in a Twitter feed and spun it around chaotically to show the strangeness of online life.
