A Web App that serves you one piece of Singaporean Legal News a day.
Navigating the Modern Internet feels like trudging through miles of swamp searching for a milligram of gold.
Judging from these articles, I'm not the only one who feels this way.
With this frustration nagging at me, I created Sea Kayak to make it easier to find timely Singaporean Legal News.

The name Sea Kayak is in reference to the sea kayak, a type of kayak designed for paddling over large bodies of water. Specifically, the name for this project came to me after watching Beau Miles' 2017 6-part series Bass by Kayak.
Sea Kayak takes inspiration from The Forest and HungryHippo.
The below articles also validated my confirmation bias and fuelled me to complete Sea Kayak.
- The modern web is becoming unusable
- The internet is unusable now
- Why Is the Web So Monotonous?
- Today’s Internet is Optimized for Noise
