In Progress
JULY 2024 - PRESENT
Every potter has the same problem; too many ideas and not enough
time.
For many, tracking projects is complicated by the many stages clay
must undergo before it can be fired to completion. Moving between
stages often requires waiting on clay to dry; time where you
inevitably start on that next big idea!
So how do you keep track of what stage each item is in? And when
they come out of the kiln, how do you record firing details in order
to replicate results? How accurate is your inventory guesstimate
when you're not in the studio check? And where did you track
write-offs come tax season?
Enter Wareboard, a finance, task, firing and inventory tracking website.
Wareboard lets users easily manage projects by tracking
to-dos and firing deadlines from the dashboard. It automatically
archives firing details for easy reference, and allows users to
build an inventory library for accurate item counts. It also has
financial features that allow users to record profits and costs, to
export itemized losses for tax purposes, and run reports on the
business's financial data.

for updates.
Wareboard is a mobile first web application that uses C# and .NET
Core with an MVC architecture. Back-end technologies include
Entity Framework, SQL Server, and Azure. It is hosted on AWS. An
80% interactive prototype was built during the pre-production
phase using Figma, and wireframes were created using Canva.
Pottery Supply Scraper

Pre-production
MAY 2025 - PRESENT
Ever need a pottery tool or material but aren't sure where to get
it? Know where to get it but want to find the best deal?
More often than not, pottery supply stores are located reigonally
rather than locally. Most have minimum order costs and high shipping
rates. Inventory can be unpredictable, product offerings vary
wildly, prices are different from shop to shop, and deals can be
sporadic. Hunting down and comparing the same product in multiple
online stores is annoying and takes time away from the studio.
Shouldn't it be easier to find what you're looking for at the
best price?
Pottery Supply Scraper aims to simply the shopping
experience by allowing users to compare a product across a variety
of shops with just one search. Users will be able to search by
region or select specific stores. Results will list the prices and
package sizes available at each outlet. Order minimums and shipping
information will be provided if available. Users will be able to
build carts for multiple storefronts as they search for products in
the Scraper, and will be sent to those storefronts with their cart
contents for checkout.
Pottery Supply Scraper is in the pre-production phase. Wireframes
are being created in Canva and an interactive protoype will be
built in Figma. The web application will be built using SvelteKit.
Python will be used for the scraping functionality. It will be
hosted on AWS. Local storage will be leveraged for cart details
and to minimize scraping where possible.
