Decluttering, small-batch cleaning, restored things.
14 things · ventures, tools, writing
Real software solving real frictions for real people.
Several projects keep me actively engaged, and connected. Some are ventures with customers, some are tools I needed and could not find, and some are things I write or say out loud.
Ventures
Local artists at work in the corner of a shop.
The games a venue already owns, keeping their own score.
Tools
Laksa
Elixir · Phoenix · LiveView
A local-first, multi-site content management system for developers who want control and creators who want simplicity. Real-time updates via LiveView, Git-based version control, Liquid templating.
Intent
Methodology · CLI
A methodology and CLI for building software by capturing the "why" behind code through Steel Threads — self-contained features with documented intentions, so both people and AI assistants can see the constraints and the reasoning that drove a design, not only what the code does.
Utilz
Shell · Framework
A dispatcher-based framework where every utility is a symlink to one bin/utilz script, so a set of command-line tools shares its help, versioning and error handling instead of reimplementing them.
PPLR
CLI · Claude
pplr (pronounced "peopler") manages a professional network from the command line: who you know, meetings and interactions, and search sharpened by AI-powered tagging.
MOLT
zsh · bash · Dotfiles
My Opinionated Local Terminal. A cross-platform, multi-machine shell environment that makes zsh/bash config, dotfiles and dev tooling portable, reproducible and bootstrappable from one command on a fresh machine.
