Cover image for Design has always been how
Design has always been how I make a living. I'm reminded it's also a gift I can use to give back. Not every design project needs an invoice. Our church has been going through a sermon series called Gifted, centered on using the gifts God has given us to serve others. After this weekend’s message, I felt called to put that into practice. I've been following what Brandon Lake and his family are doing with Awendaw Farms, and having close friends who farm, I know how much heart and hard work goes into that life. So I did what I know how to do. I designed. I put together a merch collection for Awendaw Farms, including tees, long sleeves, and trucker hats featuring a custom AF monogram and a little Bigfoot inspiration. Brandon has a hot pink bigfoot statue in their garden 😂 Hoping to donate the entire collection of designs to their mission. No invoice. No strings attached. #DesignForGood #BrandDesign #MerchDesign

Cover image for Alright! here's my submission for
Alright! here's my submission for the Ship & Sell Remixathon challenge! This was a fun hackathon because I didn't know what to make. So here it is! Time Matters is a family screen time manager designed for parents and kids. It helps families set daily screen time limits, track usage, log behaviors, review weekly activity, and keep rules clear in one simple app. Parents can manage child profiles, switch into parent mode with a passcode, and review progress, while kids get a calm, easy-to-understand view of their remaining time and activity. It’s built for families who want a gentler, more organized way to manage device time without making screen time feel stressful or overly strict. https://family-screen-time-tracker-360.created.app https://x.com/girtonian/status/2051168990693564467 https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jonathangirton_i-built-a-thing-for-the-anything-remixathon-ugcPost-7456941375582785536-iGoX?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAARnTb0Bo4Ll-0KqNAhBCBgSGoGtNJCoPns

Cover image for A Telegram tap-and-build game where
A Telegram tap-and-build game where players grow a business from nothing. Progress earns in-game stars through play. Real Telegram Stars buy something different: actual business assets, generated and delivered for real. THE DESIGN PROBLEM Two currencies in one interface. The earned currency drives the game loop. The real one crosses from simulation into fulfillment — a player running a fictional business can buy a real one's worth of assets without leaving the chat. The two have to feel connected enough that the purchase is a natural next step, and separated enough that nobody confuses play money for a payment. HOW IT WORKS Node.js, Express, and MongoDB, with a Telegram Mini App front end. The game engine is server-authoritative: the client sends intent — "10 taps" — never outcomes. XP, levels, compounding upgrade costs, passive income, and missions are pure functions, with every balance number in a single catalog file. The money path is the part worth reading. Telegram Stars invoices run through pre-checkout validation to fulfillment. A unique index on the Telegram charge ID means a replayed payment is caught and ignored. Stars debit through a conditional atomic update, so two concurrent purchases can't both succeed. Generation failures after a successful debit refund automatically. Claude is treated as untrusted input. The router validates its JSON, overwrites the user ID with the authenticated Telegram ID, re-derives prices from the catalog rather than trusting the model, and rejects any function outside a four-entry allow-list. Every request carries HMAC-validated Telegram initData, plus a webhook secret. The server returns render-ready screens through a JSON UI contract, so the client holds no prices and no rules. Verified by 33 unit tests and 20 end-to-end HTTP tests against a real database. Rate limiting, structured logs with secrets redacted, health checks, Docker, deployed on Railway.

Cover image for A product line of three
A product line of three self-contained tools sold through the NuroWorks marketplace: SocialFlow Pro (content planning and caption generation), LeadFlow Pro (client acquisition, outreach scripts, and proposal generation), and NuroFlow Pro (workflow automation). Sold individually or as a bundle. THE DESIGN DECISION Each tool is a self-contained HTML application delivered as a ZIP. No server, no account, no install, no subscription. The buyer unzips it, opens it in a browser, and it works — offline, indefinitely, with no dependency on my infrastructure staying up. That constraint shaped everything. All state lives client-side, every interaction is handled in the browser, and the whole product has to survive being opened from a file path years after purchase. It also means zero hosting cost per customer and nothing for a buyer to lose access to. DELIVERY Checkout runs through Payhip, with the package delivered immediately on purchase. Pricing is one-time — no recurring fees, and buyers keep their files.

Cover image for A Telegram bot that took
A Telegram bot that took a user from a single message to a finished, paid-for deliverable, with no human in the loop at any step. Built, deployed, and run in production; the bot has since been retired, and the source is public. WHAT IT DID A user started a conversation, answered a few questions about their niche, and the bot generated a complete business asset pack — content, copy, and supporting documents. It previewed part of the result, took payment, then delivered the full package as downloadable files. HOW IT WORKS A Node.js and Express service receives Telegram webhooks and routes them through modular command handlers, holding conversation state across a multi-step flow. The Anthropic Claude API does the generation, with configurable models, tuned token budgets, and automatic retry on transient failures. Payment runs on Stripe, and the fulfillment path is idempotent by design: incoming webhook events are deduplicated by event ID, and a unique database constraint on the charge makes double-delivery and double-charging structurally impossible rather than merely unlikely. Session and usage state lives in Redis on Upstash, with an in-memory fallback so the service runs locally without external dependencies. It ships as a multi-stage Docker image that runs as a non-root user with health checks and correct signal handling for graceful shutdown, behind a GitHub Actions pipeline that builds and validates the image on every push.

Cover image for Most AI site builders hand
Most AI site builders hand you one page and a prompt box. This one ask four questions and returns a complete, navigable website — Home, About, Services, Pricing, Contact — with working links between them, delivered as a preview URL and a downloadable .zip. WHAT IT SELLS A free homepage (one per day), a full five-page website, or a five-stage sales funnel. Payment runs on Telegram Stars, which is what Telegram requires for digital goods sold inside a bot. HOW IT WORKS A Node.js and Express service on MongoDB, running as a Telegram bot, a Telegram Mini App, and a Discord bot from one codebase. Claude generates the site in a three-stage orchestration — brief, then pages, then CSS — behind a single API client with a daily spend breaker. The payment path is built around one rule: a build that fails after a successful payment must never lose the buyer's money. Generation never throws for content reasons; it returns a result object so the caller can decide. Failures refund automatically, without the buyer having to ask. Pricing is validated server-side from a single catalog, so the client can't propose its own price. Preview and download routes use capability URLs — an unguessable 16-byte slug is the credential — because Telegram's open Link hands the URL to the system browser, which can't carry an auth header, and generated pages link to each other relatively. Operationally: tiered rate limits per user, a one-build-at-a-time concurrency guard, a daily spend cap that pauses builds, and a health endpoint reporting uptime, database state, todays spend, and whether builds are paused. Deployed on Railway from a Docker image, behind a CI pipeline that runs syntax, unit, and end-to-end suites on every push — a red suite blocks the merge, so it never reaches production. Discord runs the free tier as an acquisition channel and routes paying users to Telegram, because Discord has no arbitrary-amount invoice and no bot-callable refund.
