Give it a single hex and Palette builds a full WCAG-AA scale with light and dark tokens, then exports to CSS variables, Tailwind config, or Figma. The contrast checker is the part I am proudest of.
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.
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.
A terminal UI that merges and color-codes logs across a whole compose stack so you stop juggling ten panes. Written in Rust, ships as a single binary, and starts instantly. The trick is that it tails every container at once and interleaves them on one timeline, with per-service colors and a filter you can edit live without restarting. I built it during an incident where the bug was obvious in the logs but I could not see it across four scrolling windows at 2am. It handles backpressure now, so a chatty container does not drown out the quiet one that is actually failing. Saved filter presets and a jump-to-last-error key are next on the list.
A weekend WebGL toy: 200k particles that flock and scatter around the pointer. Pure shader math, no physics library. Mostly an excuse to learn compute-ish tricks in WebGL2.
Runs a tiny local vision model over new screenshots and renames Screenshot-2025-whatever to something I can actually find later. My desktop is no longer a graveyard.
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.
Draw a shape and Plink turns it into an evolving little melody with a tiny synth in the Web Audio API. No samples, all synthesis. Weirdly meditative, I lose ten minutes to it daily.
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.
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.
