Apps is the interactive laboratory of jimcollinsworth.github.io. While all essays, shelf entries, and event pages adhere to a strict 100% Zero-JavaScript guarantee for durable reading longevity, these standalone mini-applications use modern browser standards to query local static datasets (from content/data/) and provide rich visual interaction.

Interactive Application • Visual Media

Photo Viewer & Drive Manifest Explorer

A full-screen, responsive photo viewer designed to parse tabular markdown and JSON manifests from content/data/photos.json. Features filmstrip sidebar navigation, keyboard shortcuts, camera telemetry inspector (Sony A7 IV specs), and direct one-click resolution into original RAW photos hosted in Google Drive.

Interactive Application • Search & Discovery

Content Taxonomy & Keyword Explorer

A visual discovery widget that cross-filters site content across all dimensions: the 12 core domains, thought evolution stages (ideainquiryprojectapparticle), authorship origins (original, study, review, curation), and multi-label keyword tags with real-time fuzzy filtering.


Static Data Architecture (content/data/)

All mini-apps are backed by centralized static data sources housed in the content/data/ directory:

Data Source Format Consumer Application Purpose
content/data/photos.json JSON Photo Viewer Indexed photo manifest with dates, locations, Google Drive URLs, and camera telemetry.
content/data/photos.md Markdown Static Reader Tabular markdown version of photo index for human review and Obsidian linking.
content/data/site-index.json JSON Keyword Explorer Complete multi-facet content index spanning categories, stages, origins, and tags.
