I'm making a game finally! Merge-three + village sim.

Hoping to actually take this one to something polished as opposed to the many half-finished prototypes littering my git repo over the years. I've discovered (always knew?) that heavily cutting scope is the best way, and been successful thus far.

It gets pretty boring/unbalanced by ~150 turns, but I have some ideas on how to fix. I'm still playing with ways to help de-clutter the board and make use of the economy aspects.

After some false starts with ai-gen art, I had fun learning to color the pixels myself. The process wasn't as scary as I'd thought and the results are better than I hoped.

Inspired by TripleTown from the wonderful studio Spry Fox.

Working on https://gametje.com (a Jackbox games competitor). Been working on the Android TV app lately. Will probably start creating a new game next week with acronyms similar to the old game Acrophobia from the late 90s/early 2000s.

I'm starting to shift my energies towards building more hardware and less web/mobile apps for side projects.

I'm currently working on Dice of Sending - for when you want to roll physical dice but you play DND online. This is mostly just for fun with my DND group.

We are close to landing our first customer - an enterprise-level one at that! We're Geneva Business Messaging, a tool to centralize, persist, and if necessary escalate critical interactions between large companies and their partners. For actual collaborative cross-company work in fields like engineering, logistics, or security - not spam, marketing, sales, or the other frequent purposes of B2B apps.

We're at genevabm.com if you want to check it out!

I left my job to work with the technologies (embedded rust, SQL, custom PCBs, typescript & angular, more rust server side) and practices I'd been dying to use and build a solution for a problem I had. A big part was also the desire to control complexity and lead product direction instead of taking assignments knowing they were the wrong direction for the products and their consumers.

It's an instant remote control built for shared spaces. Anyone can use the remote with a QR code on their mobile device. Since its IoT there are lots of interesting features including permissions, various remote interfaces, universal remote capabilities and more.

I’ve built a small suite of honey-do automations for public defense attorneys in Washington (selenium scripts and OS calls to do docket intake / organization)

Currently packaging as a windows desktop app, recording a demo video, and then distributing

Created https://www.spreadcheer.net - a Christmas list app that can store locally, isn't full of ads, no login required and should be pretty fast

I'm working on https://pipestack.dev, a workflow automation platform where you bring your own code - as Wasm Components.

Think n8n, but you bring your own code and optionally even your hardware to execute pipelines.

https://auth-email.com

OAuth is here to stay for major email providers (Outlook, Gmail, etc). Microsoft is dropping support for standard/basic authorization in April 2026, and Google has already done this. But plenty of devices and systems don't (and may never) support OAuth.

Auth-Email is a relay that lets you continue using traditional email auth methods even when your provider requires OAuth. Lots of other more advanced features too: all OAuth grant types, add-ins to modify behavior and lots more.

An OpenAPI code generation framework for TypeScript called Skmtc (pronounced like "schematic")

It handles the complexities of parsing OpenAPI and rendering output code, while providing the end user with full control over generator code via string templates.

Imagine something like React but for code generation where each code generator can compose its own output using the outputs of other generators.
