## Articles

- [The answer is on Basecamp.](https://jakedickinson.co.uk/notes/the-answer-was-already-in-basecamp.md): What I built after The Gaffer: a Slack bot that finds everyday information in Basecamp and brings back an answer, the context and a link to its source.
- [The Gaffer has entered the chat.](https://jakedickinson.co.uk/notes/the-gaffer.md): A fantasy football bot with a point of view. How I built the character, kept the scores separate from the jokes, and learned from the people arguing with him.
- [A better eye for the pages you build.](https://jakedickinson.co.uk/notes/gsap-vault.md): Why I’m making free, practical design courses for developers. Small changes, visible results and room to experiment, from visual hierarchy to motion.
- [Giving a WordPress page a better starting point.](https://jakedickinson.co.uk/notes/pattern-paste.md): Why I built a library of editable WordPress sections, and why the next person changing the page matters as much as the first.
