Writing - Stuart Sillitoe
Short, dated write-ups on building for the web. Newest first.
August 2026 - My site's /source view is a scroll-through of 3D rooms built in Three.js, and the one rule the whole thing runs on - a scene has to be a real place, not a flat panel.
August 2026 - I rebuilt my projects page around real screenshots, and ran straight into the problem that most of my best work is internal - so how do you show it?
August 2026 - I rebuilt my CV as a gamified dashboard, 3D skills reactor and all, because a personal site is the one place you get to over-build.
July 2026 - A LinkedIn recruiter who loved my profile, the funnel behind the flattery, and why the technical test is the actual attack.
July 2026 - A LinkedIn trial, a dozen offers to make my CV ATS-friendly, and the day I'd already spent doing it myself.
July 2026 - How a tool built for one friend's cleaning business turned into a platform when a second kind of user showed up.
July 2026 - Building a POS for Spanish bars, and why the most important feature was the list of things it will never do.
July 2026 - One data model, three visual flavours, and why a personal site earns an indulgence a client site never could.
June 2026 - Building the Super Pixel Series in Pixi.js, and why three of a planned dozen was the right place to ship.
November 2025 - Bringing AI-assisted work into a front-end team without handing it the keys.
September 2024 - What a sportsbook front-end has to get right in the half-second before a bet lands.
May 2023 - Twenty-odd years of web layout, from framesets to flexbox, mostly learned the hard way.
