Jonathan’s Nifty Website
A humble internet abode
Hi there, my name’s Jonathan! I live in New York City, and I work at a web design agency called Ideas On Purpose. I conduct requirements analysis, plan information architecture, lead quality assurance, assist with project management, and help write code.
Outside of IOP, I teach programming at Girls Who Code and the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth.
You can see my resumé here, if that’s the sort of thing you're into. Otherwise, keep reading to learn about other things I've done.
Things I’ve Made
A full-text RSS reader for the Pebble smartwatch
I wanted a way to read news articles on my wrist. Unable to find a working app for my smartwatch, I made my own instead.
Fixed widgets for the OS X Dashboard
In 2019 and 2020, Apple's old Dashboard widgets began to break as the services they used went offline. I brought the Weather and Unit Converter widgets back to life by rewriting portions of their code.
Legacy Mac Proxy
A way to make HTTPS work again on old versions of Mac OS X.
Mac Quick Actions
A set of useful little Quick Actions for your Mac. Quickly make empty files in any folder, create DMGs, and more.
