A behind-the-scenes on the S&P Properties project 👇
Running lettings on old Word templates. Different fonts, different layouts, different providers, clauses and legislations of UK laws that constantly change and need review. Print them, fill them in, hope they comes back legible.
So we went back to the start:
📑 Rewrote every form and checked it against current UK lettings law and legislation
🎨 Put the whole set under one look and one brand, so every document feels like it came from the same agency
🖨️ Built each form three ways: a fillable digital PDF, a clean print-friendly version made for a pen, and a step-by-step online form that goes straight to the office
🔗 Tied all three back together, so it's the same questions and the same data whichever way a tenant or landlord chooses to fill it in
The best part isn't the nice clean paperwork. It's that it's modular and scalable. That's the approach we like to apply to every business model and think that property management applied well. A cohesive and scalable system.

Drawing on, and inspired by, examples of what I've seen people creating in three.js, I've applied that to a port-centric stock control, end to end 🚢⚓
With the help of SI, I reconstructed the digital workflow that does it. This video follows the simulation that sits on top of that system, and the journey of one truck through the whole process.
1. Vessel discharge: the manifest counts down hold by hold, so you always know what's still on board and can track vessel process for the Agency function.
2. Crane weights: every grab is weighed at the SI Crane, building a tally truck by truck.
3. Weighbridge verification: unattended. ANPR reads the plate, the stored tare is applied and a ticket is issued in seconds.
4. Variance control: weighbridge net is checked against the crane tally, and the variance is posted to the discharge figure load by load.
5. Stock in: a camera logs each truck into the warehouse, and weighbridge tonnage is booked into stock.
6. Fleet: turnaround, drive and queue time per vehicle and per driver.
7. Profitability: plant and labour cost against tonnes moved gives a live cost per ton against the tariff, while the vessel is still alongside.
One dashboard. Every ticket, every weight, every ton accounted for, from ship to stock.

Worth mentionining too;
- Ton per hour measured live and checked against the rate you’d expect for that commodity, grab and crane.
- Completion time worked out from that rate (tons, loads and hours left, ETA for the vessel completion and for the whole operation), and how the ETA moves when the rate drops.
- Whether the discharge rate is fast enough to make ensure profitable and prevent vessel delays, with a break-even tons-per-hour figure.
Sorting out my Instagram posts from India and just thought this was such a cool shot that I wanted to share it here too.

A photograph of the Savemore Stores branch that opened in George Street, Hull, 1960.
The building was Hull's first purpose-built cinema that opened in George Street in 1910 as the Prince's Hall, which later became the Curzon Cinema.
In 1960, after the success of my grandfathers market stall and market place shop, he decided to buy this location as their first major expansion and turned it into Savemore Stores. The second cut-price supermarkets location to open.
Now uploaded to the Timeline, Gallery & Archive on savemorestores.co.uk/

Remember the EQ bars from Winamp and the old Windows Media Player visualisers?
We built a browser source that brings them back for streamers.
It shows the song you're playing (on Spotify in this case) right on your stream, with a transparent background so it sits cleanly over whatever's on screen. No box, no border, just the track and the bars moving with the music.
It's the classic spectrum analyzer but jazzed up for streaming and tested live on Twitch today.
This one hit different.
ChatEZ went from 'lurker' to 'chatter'. To borrow the terms we love. Hitting Send and seeing the message pop up in the channel.
Two-way chat unlocked. A big "PogChamp" moment. 😂

Version 0.5 – Joining the conversation 💬
in v0.4 we brought incoming chat to life. Now the other half: sending.
Type and hit Send, and it goes to the channel from your signed-in account, with your own name, colour and badges.
We can talk back now.

No more plugins to keep updating, no more sprawling WHM, cPanel, FTP logins and whatever else. Enjoying the simplified setup and it's good to have it all in one place at @Cloudflare and publishing is one command:
npm run deploy

Spent the week pulling all my projects onto Cloudflare natively and now have everything moved over and secured. DNS, email routing, the hosting, all of it.
smithy.bio is now a lean Astro site shipped with one command. No plugins, no bloat. Enjoying wrangler!
