Cohort

I made self-hosted feature flags without the enterprise pricing

Self-hosted feature flags without the enterprise pricing or the sales call. Toggle features per user or by percentage rollout from a clean dashboard, with SDKs for a few languages and everything running in one Docker container so your data stays yours. The part I sweated was making percentage rollouts sticky: I hash the user id into the bucket so a given user does not flip-flop between variants on every request, which sounds obvious but is easy to get wrong and miserable to debug. It evaluates flags inline with no network hop using a local cache that refreshes in the background. Audit logs and scheduled rollouts are on the list.

Ledger

I made a plain-text personal finance tracker you actually own

Ledger keeps your accounts in a human-readable text file with a fast UI on top for entry and charts. Imports from CSV, exports to anything. No bank logins, no data broker, no subscription.

Whisperdesk

I made offline meeting transcription that never leaves your laptop

Runs Whisper locally and drops a clean, speaker-labeled transcript into a plain markdown file. No cloud, no upload, it works on a plane and it works when the meeting was about something you would rather not hand to a third party. I built it after reading one too many transcription-tool privacy policies that quietly reserved the right to train on my audio. Speaker diarization without the cloud was the fun part: a small local embedding model gives rough labels that are good enough to skim a meeting you missed. It still trips on heavy crosstalk and long recordings take a while, but it has become the thing I reach for every week.

Threadbare

I made a minimalist forum that is just markdown and links

No upvotes, no algorithm, just chronological threads. Self-hosted as a single binary. I built it to host a tiny community without feeding it to an ad model.

Critter

I built a tiny game engine for bug-themed platformers

WebGL plus an entity component system in 8kb, with a level editor that runs in the browser. My kid and I built three little games with it over a holiday.

Beacon

I made a status page and incident timeline you actually own

A status page and incident timeline that you actually own. Incidents are just markdown files with frontmatter, so your whole incident history lives in git instead of a vendor's database, and you can diff it, review it in a PR, and move it anywhere. It serves a clean public page plus an RSS feed, runs as a single self-hosted binary, and has no per-seat pricing because it is open source. I kept it text-forward on purpose: a status page does not need a hero video or an animated globe, it needs to load instantly during an outage when your main site is already down. Scheduled maintenance windows and a tiny subscriber API are next.

Forge UI

I've been building an open-source component library with a brutalist bent

Forty plus accessible React components, zero runtime CSS, themeable with CSS variables. MIT licensed. I wanted something opinionated that did not look like every other component kit.

Quantize

I got small LLMs running nicely on a Raspberry Pi

A wrapper plus web UI around llama.cpp tuned for single board computers like the Raspberry Pi. It streams tokens over websockets and stays under the Pi's tiny memory budget using Q4 quantization and mmap, so a 3B model actually fits in 2GB. Tokens per second are slow, but for a home assistant that mostly answers short questions it is real-time enough to feel responsive. I wanted something that ran entirely on hardware I own: no API keys, no usage caps, and no sending my house's voice commands off to someone's cloud. Setup is a single script that auto-detects the board. Local Whisper for voice input is the next milestone.

Tide

I built a local-first notes app that syncs without a server

Tide keeps everything in a local SQLite file and syncs peer to peer over a tiny last-writer-wins CRDT, so there is no server in the middle and no account to make. Your notes never leave devices you own, which is the entire point. I started it because every notes app I tried eventually wanted my email, then a subscription, then my data. The sync was the hard part: I spent two weeks getting conflict resolution to feel boring and predictable instead of clever. Setting up a second device is still clunky and search is naive, but for daily capture it has quietly replaced everything else I used. Encrypted sync and a proper mobile build are next.
