Scope

We cover creative builds, unusual inventions, practical tools, small businesses, and side hustles from around the world. We avoid sensational framing and prioritize explainers that help readers understand context, constraints, tradeoffs, and verifiable project history.

Sourcing Standards

  • — Primary and reputable secondary sources are prioritized.
  • — Dates, figures, and quotations are checked before publication.
  • — When a project detail depends on unresolved plans, procurement claims, or unverified reporting, we label that uncertainty clearly.

Authorship and Attribution

Side Projects content is presented by Simon Whistler. Structured authorship is implemented with a canonical author entity at /author/simon-whistler/, and article-level structured data references this canonical author profile.

Updates and Corrections

  • — Material errors are corrected as soon as verified.
  • — Substantive corrections may include clarification notes in-page.
  • — Time-sensitive stories are reviewed after publication for factual drift.

Independence and Conflicts

Editorial decisions are made independently. If any sponsorship or commercial relationship is relevant to a piece, it is disclosed clearly.
