Widgets & shit

Small tools that do one thing, built because something needed doing. Free, no account, no tracking.

These are not part of the archive. The manuscripts, the market and the wats are one body of work with one taxonomy; these are utilities — separate on purpose, so neither muddies the other. Each one lives at its own address and keeps working whether or not you ever come back here.

Skip DJT

Palm Beach International became President Donald J. Trump International in July 2026. If you would rather not fly from there, this prices the same trip from Fort Lauderdale and Miami on the same departure date and shows what skipping it costs — usually nothing, often a saving, and frequently a shorter flight, because DJT tends to mean a connection.

  • rebuilds itself every Monday
  • installs to your phone, works offline
  • every fare is a real, dated, bookable flight

Why these will never be in the App Store or on Google Play

People ask. The short answer is that they are already installed on every device you own, and putting them in a store would make them worse.

  1. They are web pages, and that is the feature. Open the link and it works — phone, laptop, borrowed computer, no download, no account. On a phone you can add it to your home screen and it behaves like any other app: full screen, its own icon, works with no signal.
  2. Apple would reject them anyway, correctly. App Store review guideline 4.2 (“minimum functionality”) exists to stop people shipping a website wrapped in a shell and calling it an app. That is exactly what these would be. Apple is right about this one.
  3. A store puts a gatekeeper between a fix and you. The flight tool rebuilds itself every Monday with fresh fares. Through a store, each of those updates would wait in a review queue. Stale prices presented as current is the one thing that tool must never do.
  4. Anything a store lists, a store can delist. A tool with a political joke on the front is exactly the kind of thing that gets pulled quietly and without appeal. A URL cannot be removed by anyone but me.
  5. Store apps come with a tax and a toll booth. Developer programmes charge annual rent, and stores take a cut of anything sold. These are free and cost nothing to give away. Adding a middleman would only add a reason to start charging you.
  6. No SDK, no analytics, no account. Store distribution pushes you toward crash reporters, ad identifiers and sign-in. None of that is here, and the easiest way to keep it that way is to never enter a system that expects it.

So: bookmark it, or add it to your home screen. That is the install.
