## Journal

- [Images in motion](https://deluisa.me/blog/2026-09-04-images-in-motion): images-in-motion is a CSS mosaic of inclined columns that scroll in opposite directions. v1.0.0 shipped on 3 September 2026. The studio copies settings without taking the pictures with it.
- [Calling Hohmann from a public URL](https://deluisa.me/blog/2026-08-13-sidus): On 13 August 2026 I pointed an MCP client at sidus.tools/api/mcp, called Hohmann for a 200 km LEO to GEO transfer, and got 3931.86 m/s. The browser uses the same function.
- [Inksquad People and Inksquad Artist](https://deluisa.me/blog/2026-08-13-inksquad): Inksquad is two products that share a platform. People is for someone shaping a tattoo idea. Artist is the iPad app used in the studio, including with gloves on.
- [Checking whether AI crawlers can actually read a site](https://deluisa.me/blog/2026-08-13-isready): isready.ai is an open-source audit of a simple question. When a training or search crawler fetches your page, does it get the article, or an empty document? The CLI and the web scan are free. Monitoring is what you pay for.
- [How I rebuilt deluisa.me](https://deluisa.me/blog/2026-06-08-deluisa-me): I started the repo on 21 May 2026 and GitHub Pages started serving it on 8 June. This is how the site is put together, and why the journal lives in the same repository as the code.

## Selected work

- [Inksquad](https://deluisa.me/work/inksquad): Two products on one platform. Inksquad People helps someone shape a tattoo idea. Inksquad Artist is an iPad tool for studio work. Shared Supabase and AI underneath.
- [isready.ai](https://deluisa.me/work/isready-ai): Free open-source audit of a simple question. Can AI actually read your website? 32 checks, a CLI whose deep scan and Markdown solutions stay free, and a hosted layer if you want monitoring.
- [Images in motion](https://deluisa.me/work/images-in-motion): A beautiful dynamic mosaic of pictures, each inclined column going the other way from its neighbours while CSS keeps them moving. You mount it, copy the settings from the studio, and the pictures stay in that browser.
- [SIDUS](https://deluisa.me/work/sidus-tools): Open-source educational space-engineering calculators in the browser. About 175 tools. Pure SI. MIT. Orbital mechanics, propulsion, RF, crew ECLSS.
