01 Selected work

Shipping products, not slide decks.

One flagship case study today — more as we publish them. Everything below is live and in production.

02 Case study

Laravel
Tailwind
Redis / CDN

placehold.cloud

Placeholder generator platform — images, avatars, QR, data APIs, and utilities.

Challenge: Developers need fast, flexible placeholders without sign-up friction — images, documents, fake data, and helper APIs in one coherent product.
Approach: Laravel backend with caching and CDN-friendly responses; a distinctive terminal-inspired UI; extensive format and parameter support.
Outcome: Production-ready APIs, a broad generator catalog, and sub-second responses for common workloads — used in real shipping workflows.
Stack: Laravel, Tailwind, queues, Redis, CDN.

03 Open source

Keel — a house framework for Node.js.

A TypeScript framework built on Hono, with a service container, typed routing, and JSX views. Published to npm under the MIT license.

“Every app needs a keel.”
keeljs.com

Install

keeljs.com GitHub npm

Service container

Dependency injection with providers that follow a predictable lifecycle.

Typed routing

Express-like routes with end-to-end type safety, built on Hono.

JSX views

Server-rendered views written in TypeScript, no template language to learn.

Console generators

make:controller, make:provider, and friends — scaffolding out of the box.

Runs on the edge

Deploys to Cloudflare Workers as readily as to Node.

AI-ready

Ships an MCP server and machine-readable docs so agents can use it correctly.

04 From the studio

Apps we build for ourselves.

Free, open-source macOS tools — the same standards we apply to client work.

Ledge

Turns the MacBook notch into a hover-expand dashboard: Now Playing, calendar, weather, a file shelf, clipboard history, and timers.

Wheelhouse

A fleet cockpit for solo founders — move products through launch stages and queue Claude Code inside each repo.

Wisp

A cursor highlight ring for presenting — it glows on your display but never appears in screenshots, recordings, or the screen you share.

Trim

Drop an image and it cuts the dead margin off the artwork, detecting a solid background of any color with one tolerance slider.

Swab

Stages a clean desktop for screenshots and screen recordings — icons hidden, wallpaper covered, resolution set, window placed — and restores every setting from a snapshot written to disk first.

Swell

A native animation tool for product-UI motion — drop in screenshots and text, keyframe them on a timeline, string the scenes together, and export the story as an MP4 or a GIF.

Splice

A quick audio and video chopper — open a clip, mark the parts that don't work, cut them out, remove the silences, and export what you just watched.

Stow

A read-it-later app in the shape of Pocket — it fetches the page, extracts a clean readable article, and files it for distraction-free reading, with highlights, notes, text-to-speech, and RSS feeds.
