Things I've built and shipped — for teams, for communities, and occasionally just because the idea wouldn't leave me alone on a long run.
Vor reviews pull requests the way a good colleague does — it reads the diff, thinks about intent, and leaves a small number of comments that matter. Built on the Claude Agent SDK and shipped as a GitHub Action, so adding it to a repo is one workflow file.
The hard part was restraint. Anyone can generate fifty comments per PR; the craft is deciding which three are worth a human’s attention.
A running and triathlon club is a small, chaotic, wonderful organization. Travelling Circus gives it real software: member dashboards, event automation, and the kind of stats runners actually argue about over post-race coffee.
It runs on surprisingly serious infrastructure for a community project — because the community deserves software that doesn’t fall over on race morning.
The Douglas Riches design system: warm cream paper, espresso ink, terracotta, and a serif reserved for the inspirational moments. DTCG design tokens compile to CSS custom properties and Flutter Dart from a single source, so platforms never drift.
It ships as a React library with Storybook and a Flutter library with a Widgetbook gallery. The site you’re reading is built from it — every button, card, and quote on this page is a system component.
A personal site should load like a text file and read like a magazine. This one is static Astro with the design system’s React components rendered to plain HTML at build time — no client JavaScript, no spinners, no cookie banner.
Twelve field notes migrated from Wix with their images self-hosted and optimized, plus RSS, a sitemap, structured data, and privacy-first analytics.
Retrieval-augmented generation and the Model Context Protocol sound like a lot until you watch a small Python script do both. This demo strips the ideas to their working minimum so a hackathon room can fork it and start building.
Building something warm and ambitious? Tell me about it — I read every message.
