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.
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.
Content Taxonomy & Keyword Explorer
A visual discovery widget that cross-filters site content across all dimensions: the 12 core domains, thought evolution stages (idea → inquiry → project → app → article), 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. |
