About CreatorDock
A small directory, kept by hand.
CreatorDock collects independent projects worth a longer look — tools, games, design work, writing, and experiments — and gives the people who made them a clear place to be found.

Categories
What lives here
Five categories, one standard: is it worth someone's afternoon?
Games
Playable work with its own point of view — usually made by a handful of people, sometimes by one.
Design
Visual systems, identities, and interface studies that show their thinking, not just a final render.
Experiments
Generative toys, creative coding, and unfinished ideas that are still fun to poke at.
Writing
Notes, essays, and guides that help someone else finish the thing they are stuck on.
Curation, not an algorithm
Every entry is read, looked at, and added by a person.
Nothing here is ranked by clicks, session time, or paid placement. A project is listed when it is finished enough to try, explained clearly, and made by someone who would happily answer a question about it.
- Can you use or view it right now — a demo, a download, a published page?
- Does one sentence explain what it is and who it is for?
- Is the creator credited with a link that actually works?
The directory is small on purpose. A short list you can read in one sitting is more useful than a long one you cannot.
Submit a project
Email is the whole process — no accounts, no forms, no queue dashboard.
- Project name and a short, clear description
- Creator name plus a profile or portfolio link
- Category, a few tags, and a cover image
- A working demo, download, or project page
The submission inbox is being set up. Until the address is listed here, use the checklist above to prepare your entry.
How the site is built
Static files, no build step, no tracking scripts.
Data
Projects and creators live in data/projects.json and data/creators.json. Adding an entry never means touching a template.
Front end
One stylesheet and one script, no frameworks. Cards, filters, and detail pages are rendered from the JSON as the page loads.
Privacy
No analytics, no cookies, no third-party fonts or CDNs. The only thing stored on your device is the light or dark theme you chose.
Accessibility
Keyboard-operable controls, visible focus rings, real headings, and a theme that follows your system setting. Animation steps aside when you ask it to.
