# Things I’ve built.

> An index and archive of my projects, including the ones I’ve stepped away from. By Jamie Thingelstad.

Every thing has a Markdown twin at /things/<id>.md. The whole registry with the latest observation for each source is https://thingelstad.xyz/things.json. The history ledger is https://thingelstad.xyz/feed.json. Status is a decision; activity is evidence.
