A little context

Not every idea needs
a five-year plan.

I’m Hugo. This is where I put the things I’m curious enough to make: small experiments, useful tools, and the occasional wonderfully unnecessary project.

Some are things to try with my son. Some start as a question I can’t leave alone. They can grow, change, or simply teach me something along the way.

Made with curiosity. Kept a little weird.
