The internet doesn’t need another bloated website so I made one anyway. However this one is different, it’s small and simple. Welcome to tinywork.space: my little hub for tiny, single-serving web experiments.
I’ve been tinkering with bite-sized projects for a while. Single Serving Sites (SSS) are websites that do exactly one thing and politely get out of the way. Some people call them “toys,” some call them “side projects,” but to me, they’re experiments. They don’t need to be perfect. They don’t need to scale. They just need to exist.
That’s where tinywork.space comes in. One small thing at a time. Built quickly. Shipped with duct tape. Fueled, mostly, by too much caffeine.
Building the Space
The site itself is as minimal as it gets: just HTML and CSS with a calm yellow theme that feels like a sticky note left on my desk. The layout is clean and centered with plenty of breathing room. No JavaScript frameworks. No heavy animations. Just a simple card that holds all of the links to my experiments.
And at the bottom, a manifesto in disguise:
“Powered by impulsive ideas, duct tape, and too much energy drinks.”
I didn’t do it alone; tools like Claude and ChatGPT were part of my workflow. They helped me brainstorm ideas, draft copy, and even structure some of the code. Instead of replacing creativity, they sped up the boring parts and gave me room to focus on the fun stuff. In many ways, tinywork.space is not just a collection of tiny experiments, it’s also an experiment in working with AI as a creative partner.
What’s Inside So Far
Right now, tinywork.space is home to a few of my experiments:
- 404 Haikus – Because even error pages deserve poetry.
- Compliment Machine – Push a button, get an instant complement.
- Pomodoro Calculator – A quick way to figure out how many focus sprints you’ll need to tackle your day.
- Random Color Palette – Get a random color palette that you can use for your next project.
- Random Dad Jokes – An one-click groan generator, each click delivers a new joke.
- Reverse Acronym Finder – Take a word, turn it into a hilarious cheesy backronym.
- Spelling Practice – A little tool I made for my son to practice his spelling.
- World’s Shortest Recipe Book – Recipes distilled into simple recipes.
None of these need their own domain. But together, they make a fun little collection worth bookmarking.
Why Tiny Experiments Matter
For me, these tiny projects are a reminder that not everything has to be “big.” Keeping things small helps keep me creative. It’s way less stressful than chasing some giant, polished launch. They’re also surprisingly useful: sometimes a half-baked idea is exactly what someone else needs. Or it just makes you smile for a second which honestly, is reason enough.
What’s Next
This is just the beginning. I’ll keep adding new experiments whenever inspiration strikes. Some quick ideas I have are:
- Dark mode toggle
- Categories so I can pretend this chaos is organized
- Changelogs
- Blog posts about each projects
The whole point is to keep it playful, lightweight, and tiny.
So if you’re curious, swing by tinywork.space. It’s small, but it’s growing. I’ll continue to play with impulsive ideas and build something silly, useful, or somewhere in between.
Because sometimes, the tiniest work sparks the biggest joy!
