feeds-by-chase→

Self-hosted Bluesky keyword feed generator. Streams the network firehose via Jetstream, matches posts against per-feed include/exclude rules in SQLite, and serves them through getFeedSkeleton — a self-owned replacement for SkyFeed-style builders.

TYPESCRIPTAT PROTOCOLJETSTREAMSQLITECADDY

feeds.chasecrawford.dev

github.com/chasecrawford/feeds-by-chase

Goal

Own the feed-building stack end‑to‑end — keyword feeds keep running on my own domain and hardware, independent of any third‑party builder's uptime or roadmap.

blackjack-coach→

Blackjack trainer that grades you while you play. Deal real hands at a 6‑deck Vegas table, then a coach reviews every decision against basic strategy and names the correct play — "you hit; basic strategy says stand 14 vs dealer 5." Ships with a generated strategy chart, accuracy stats, and a hand log. Play money only, no ads, works offline.

REACTVITEPWABUBBLEWRAP TWACLOUDFLARE PAGES

blackjack.chasecrawford.dev

dev.chasecrawford.blackjack.twa

Goal

Turn basic strategy into muscle memory — hands get graded in the moment instead of at the table. One engine call, getCorrectPlay(), feeds the coach, the chart, and your stats, so the app can never grade you against a rule it doesn't also show you.
