i love building really good open source software. author of react-shiki
in my free time i contribute to open source and experiment with whatever catches my interest. see my repos
- autofork: take the friction out of forking; fork anything without worrying about keeping up with upstream, autofork automatically syncs and reapplies features, patches or changes on each new release so you're always up to date with the latest upstream work. you define your intent once, if upstream solves it, autofork stops applying your customizations because the intent is met. customize the software you use everyday!
- hex: the most elegantly simple yet capable personal assistant you've ever used. tokens covered by Claude's Max sub; hex has it's own computer and it's minimal architecture extends the Claude Code harness directly
- seqno: near 1:1 rewrite of logseq, a notes app i used to love but dropped after watching it become unreliable, sluggish, and eventually unusable. proves electron can be fast and efficient, and we dont need to tolerate or concede to shitty software any more
- commonplace: your personal data kit, this template give you everything you need to collect all your data in one place and let your agents access it
- retake: 1:1 rewrite of iOS Voice Memos app
- enclave: securely let agents access, store, and use secrets without seeing them
- prompt-picker: search, filter and star every prompt you've sent to your agents. extensible at its core: write your own sources and filters, and point it at any tool
- many more in my repositories!
