Live health of everything I run
One place to check whether the website, my Discord servers and my other services are actually up, plus any incidents or planned maintenance.

Personal hub
> building websites
The personal hub for Dalton — projects, tools, Discord communities, and live service status, all in one place.
Live monitoring
The central place to check whether the website, my Discord servers and my other services are actually running. Every result here is a real check performed when the page loads — nothing on this page is a placeholder number.
Selected work
The things I've put the most time into. There are more on the projects page.

A clock that does more than tell time
A customisable clock page — switch between 12 and 24 hour, show or hide seconds and the date, and pick a display style. Your settings are remembered.
A fireworks community, built from nothing
The Discord community for the Vivid Thunder Pyrotechnics channel. I helped build it from the ground up — the server structure, the application system, the bots and the tooling behind it.
Community hub and tooling
A Discord community hub with rules, applications, appeals, updates and the community tools that go with them.
Discord
Servers I run and help build. Live member counts come straight from Discord where the server widget is enabled.
Founder
A Discord community with applications, appeals, rules, updates and the tooling that keeps it all running.
Built from scratch
The community behind the Vivid Thunder Pyrotechnics YouTube channel. Built from the ground up, bots and all.
Who I am
I'm Dalton. I like figuring out how things work, and I like building things that other people actually use.
Most of what I do starts as curiosity. I'll get interested in how something works, take it apart, and end up building my own version of it. That's how most of the projects on this site came to exist — nobody asked for them, I just wanted to see if I could.
Computers and hardware are where it started. I've spent a lot of time inside machines: building them, upgrading them, fixing them when they stop cooperating. That naturally turned into software — websites, tools, small utilities that solve a problem I actually had.
Radios are the other half of it. Programming them, tracking equipment, learning how the systems behind them fit together. It scratches the same itch as software does, just with more antennas involved.
Hardware
Building, upgrading and repairing computers.
Software
Websites, tools and automation, mostly Python and JavaScript.
Radios
Programming, inventory and the systems behind them.
Communities
Running and building tooling for Discord servers.
Music
Modern indie, on in the background constantly.
Learning
Whatever I got curious about most recently.

Changelog
Rebuilt the entire site: new design system, a theme switcher that actually changes the theme, a loading screen that cannot get stuck, real status monitoring and a proper mobile layout.
