A few personal projects and aspirations I haven’t gotten around to yet — but definitely plan to.

🔒 Website Blocking — The One-Way Street
I want to block distracting websites in a way that isn’t easily reversible — something that requires a device reboot to undo.
The idea is to add a bit of friction between impulse and access, helping me stay focused.

🔁 Connect Markdown to AnkiDroid
For language learning, I’d love to automate the process of feeding new vocabulary and example sentences into AnkiDroid.
The goal is to:
- Write sentences in a Markdown file
- Use a script (probably via AnkiConnect)
- Set up a cron job to sync them to a specific deck regularly
A small system, but one that would compound benefits over time.

The plan:
- Use a Raspberry Pi
- Install Pi-hole
- Enjoy clean browsing across all devices on the network
